TP3 is here!
-
How are themes coming along? This can't come soon enough.
Will extensions ever be able to bleed through to places where they very much belong (in many cases), like the toolbar?
-
Nice work. Good for further development.

Just came back from Opium's blog and I've got to give it to you : They're feeling the blows and are finally trying to get a grip !
The dude writing the blog post back there seems to be one of the guys behind Opera's lack of features based on "User Data" and "Research" !

Also, has anyone managed to install YouTube Center on Vivaldi? I kinda really want to do that, but I find no solution online, even though I hear people managed to do so.

Just found a small bug with large image handling: open https://vivaldi.net/media/com_easysocial/photos/18304/62775/book-1-tech-preview-chapter-1-a-new-hope-o-4491815_large.jpg (kudos to YamiryuuZero!) in Ubuntu (not sure about other OS), hold CTRL and roll mousewheel to enlarge. Please watch the top of the image disappear, i.e. you cannot scroll up to the top of the image when enlarged.
You can work around this bug by clicking-to-enlarge (the image is larger than vheight) and then zoom in. Maybe you should prevent zooming in in "unzoomed" mode at all. -
As a long-time Opera user, I decided to join the try-out phase of Vivaldi once TP3 was released (so, today!). Of the many, many reasons new Opera doesn't really fit my needs, the one that will always tether me to Opera 12 is customizable mouse gestures. I use a lot of gestures which are both different from and in addition to what new Opera (and, right now, Vivaldi) natively offer. There are Chrome extensions, but they're not very good.
Are there any plans to offer customization of mouse gestures in the future, at least similar to old Opera? Ideally, the functionality would be the same (for example, I use mouse-up to create new notes in notes panel), but it would already be a big step if my gestures worked in the tabs. Is it maybe already built-in and can be changed right now via editing some files (I didn't find anything using the search function of the forums, and I'm kind of afraid that that fact alone means bad news for my hopes regarding Vivaldi)?
Also, switching tabs via mouse-wheel doesn't seem to work. Is it just me or is that not implemented (yet)?
-
Not just you. Both of your issues have been requested multiple times and are probably under development - or at least on the "to do" list.
-
Let's hope it's coming soon. I'd like to participate in bug-testing (or at least reporting issues with) early releases just like I once did with Opera, but I can only do that if Vivaldi is my main browser instead of the alternate I go to when old Opera shows its age.

TP3 and Enter in address bar still not working, sorry but this's a shame…
-
could you be more specific? enter in address bar to go to the site is working since the very first public build AFAIK.
-
Well, it's pity that translations which are ready for 2 weeks are not in this TP3.
(I could say some nice words about Vivaldi as well but I think that only complaints are what can power/support more/ the development) -
Win 7 64 32 TP3 8 Gig mem
Had screen crash of whole program again, several open windows, went from video closed that tab and went to streaming radio…then it happened CRASHED to desktop. Had to end process with taskmaster.
-
Nice to see someone checked my work. XD
But yeah, there's a problem in Windows with image enlargement as well. Any enlarged image will be sent to the left of the screen, instead of being kept centered. This really bugs me. Here's an example:

These are clearly both on the list of things we aim to do. We want to give you as much flexibility as possible and we are working hard at giving you just that. During this round we added a number of new mouse gestures. We also added improved editing of keyboard shortcuts. But this is clearly just the beginning and editable gestures and switching tabs with the mouse wheel are on our list as well. Just give us some time.
Cheers,

Vivaldi has come a long way since the first TP launch in late January. We continue to add a lot of features while we also work on stability and speed. For some of us, the speed is fine already, but our goal is to be fast enough for you as well. So expect improvements in the weeks and months ahead. We aim to please.
Cheers,
Jon. -
Yes. It will be nice when Vivaldi is good on crap machines, too. Right now it's only good on reasonably good machines - or ones with low OS overhead. So there's some work to do. It runs well on all six working machines where I have installed it, including those around 13 years old or so, but I have to admit I do have two more REALLY old XP machines that I don't install any new software on at all. Vivaldi would probably suck on those, though they both run old versions of Opera nicely.
-
Good. Glad to hear that.
Cheers,
Jon. -
Thanks!
Jon.

Both themes and extensions are high on our list. Some extensions already work, but we aim to make this work a lot better.
Cheers,
Jon.
