The most customizable browser is now the most colorful: Vivaldi version 1.3 debuts with custom themes, enhanced privacy and much more

Nice work. The "Subtle" theme is very attractive.

I think he just made "Metrocalypse" up. I believe Metro was actually the much needed spark of a digital design philosophy revolution. With Metro, MS helped popularize an "authentic digital" design that looked beautiful. Apple followed these Metro-esque design cues in iOS 7, the first version of iOS worth looking at. Google also adopted this new approach with their Material design, which likewise looks great. Microsoft, of course, has refined their design with Microsoft Design Language 2 (MDL2), which is implemented in the fantastic-looking Windows 10 OS for both desktop and mobile. Vivaldi, as with Opera and Edge, also makes use of this flat, elegant, authentic digital design that I trace directly back to Metro. Frankly, Metro was one of the best things to happen in digital interface design in recent history.

We are learning from you that 30=28. That's nice!

Because a lot of people have sites pinned which they always have open. For that use case having to click on every single tab on startup for it to load is not really convenient.
-
"It's better to NOT load them up at start"
Can you explain why you feel so strongly about this? In what sense is it better?
I see nothing wrong with having it as an option since I can understand the inconvenience it causes to certain users. -
I'd suggest trying with adblocking-related extensions disabled.
-
Maybe you actually should since he does have access into the internal bug tracker
-
If you want to view any tab you have to click on it anyway. Loading all tabs on startup is a waste of CPU cycle and RAM, since you may not view all of them in any given session.
Load what is actually needed, when it is needed, and not everything that might be needed

Hello! I'd like to make some suggestions that could be added to Vivaldi:
Suggestion #01:
A feature that would allow Vivaldi users to open selected/grouped/tiled tabs on a new Vivaldi window.
That would be a useful feature and less time consuming than grabbing each individual tab and put them on a new Vivaldi window.
Suggestion #02:
Nowadays social networks are part of our lives and with them comes the need to share interesting stuffs we see all around the Internet, be it an image, a video, a news piece and so on.
The problem is that some social networks have limitations, like Twitter 140 characters limit, and sometimes we don't want to share the whole text of a news we read on a website, just an excerpt of it, but even the excerpt may exceed Twitter's 140 characters limit. Thus, it would be useful if Vivaldi developers could make available a feature that would allow the user to crop a part of a website as an image (like the well known image cropping feature found on any decent image editing software) and save it in a folder.
By the way, keep up with the amazing work you have been doing on Vivaldi browser!
Best Regards!

You're bitching. Politely requesting a change is no problem at all, but you're just insulting the devs and being arrogant like you have a degree in GUI design or something. The devs have done this stuff every working day for many years.
In my opinion, hiding the Theme editing options on the Settings dialogue until they are needed is good design, especially if you are not displaying settings in a tab, but on a small dialogue.
Most users are not going to customise their themes every time they open settings. New users will try different themes, and then later they may customise one that they like. The edit tools are hidden until needed, just like the tools for editing bookmarks and notes

Linux also has a DEFAULT folder, which does the same thing, but I can't remember where in the directory it lives right now
Well, when you remember it, let's talk about how Linux works, okay? Maybe, you should re-install any Linux distro to learn a bit more about that OS.

Thank you!
Somehow, the "preload" js got blocked by Privacy Badger. Adguard is doing fine.

I have a few feature suggestions, that for some reason it won't let me post in the "1.4 feature request post," and a couple of bug remarks.
FEATURE SUGGESTIONS:
Mouse gestures
- add "minimize window" mouse gesture please
- have mouse gestures work above address bar (currently, it only works partially. They work when the cursor is over a tab, but not on the empty space next to a tab"
- separate linked gestures (new tab/link gesture is very annoying)
Download manager
- download speed indicator
- warning when closing window with downloads in progress
- pause/resume etc.
- ability (like in old opera) to assign which program automatically opens each file
Tab stacking
- expand tabs without breaking stack (old opera behaviour)
BUGS or odd behaviour:
-
CTRL + ENTER in address bar should ignore autocomplete
-
pasting in address bar sometimes automatically adds autocomplete to pasted text
-
PASTE and GO always searches default engine even if different nickname is used
-
Dark theme has the wrong accent!
Looking forward to having these things polished out.

Vivaldi 1.3, Win 7 x64

I am giving a feedback to the blog writer and to the devs, and this is not a comment.
Windows
I have found why the 1.3.551.30 folder had become so large (308MB). The installer places itself inside that folder, and that is 158MB and doesn't delete itself after the installation. The Setup file has to be redone to delete that folder, after the installation. Then the Application folder would be around 150MB. -
Turns out I actually have about 9100 notes on Vivaldi. I'm pretty sure that that's still less than what I had on Opera 11 though, since I used that for far longer than I've used Vivaldi.
-
The current version folders (windows always stores one stripped-down old version folder in Chromium browsers) within Application Data are 302 MB, 328 MB, and 302 MB. Why? The middle one is an internal test version that has the built-in email client and is therefore bigger. These sizes I have just cited are normal and expected.
Not exactly. If the installer had done the job correctly, your Application folders would be around 150MB. If you look carefully, you'd find a 7z file (~145MB) in them.
-
There are further color adjustments coming. The initial way of choosing page color had some limitations. In certain cases those limitations resulted in more pleasing color choices. In the end we want to strive for accuracy. I have been investigating a way to limit the intensity of select colors, as I realize that particularly lime green can be very intense.
-
Please share an image where you see this behavior. Some details on your machine configuration would also be good.
-
Please provide more details on what you are missing. We're not going to revert the new system, but we can adapt it to yield different results.
-
That archive is there for a reason. You'll learn about it pretty soon. spoiler
