Thanks to the Vivaldi team for listening!! The new splash screen is much better, and although I would like to remove the text it is not as distracting as before.

I do not know where/how you get the dark, 7.2-like splash screen. I still get the bright/grey one on macOS with both the latest stable (7.3.3635.7) and snapshot (7.4.3653.3) Vivaldi versions. I tried with an empty profile, it only made it disappear faster but as far as I can tell it is still not dark.

Just to add a confirmation to this: I have the same with macOS Sequoia and Vivaldi (both latest stable version). It seems to not have the gradient and seems to be much brighter.
On older Vivaldi versions, it was like @npro posted a page before here. Now it's brighter gray and for private windows purple (like before).
Because my Vivaldi is so fast I have a hard time catching the splash screen, but here is at least a catch while the window got drawn.
Don't get confused by the transparency, that was during the window-draw-animation, but you see that it's much brighter than the Windows version it seems.
Again: I, personally, am not bothered by it because I never really see it because it's so fast on my system, but just wanted to confirm the observation for Mac. But I have to admit I preferred the darker one from previous versions because I didn't have that tiny “flash” when opening new windows. Just was better for the general dark theme impression.

@gorg @WerewolfAX this sucks. At least on Linux you have to use a dark OS theme for it to be dark, have you tried it on your Macs? Other than that maybe it is a specific bug related to just macOS, and some dev should be made aware of it (or help troubleshooting) in a dedicated thread or something, or report is as a regression if you know it was working fine before. https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/

Oh, you're right! Thanks for the hint! If you switch to dark theme for the whole OS, it is a dark splash screen in Vivaldi too! So this works too on Macs. — I think it would be cool to override this in the browser, though, to use the browser-theme instead of the OS theme if you're mixing those.

Ideally it would be nice, but by the words of a dev:
@Ruarí said in Minor update (2) for Vivaldi Desktop Browser 7.3:
The startup screen is before Vivaldi theme loading and follows the OS themeing defaults.

@maniac0 What's your problem - I think "Made with
in Europe" is a good statement that I support. -

It's okay.Thanks everyone in this thread who wanted dark splash screen back
