Color a Single Tab (or Tab Group)
-
Agreed with elhernly. I have just swapped from chrome to vivaldi and being able to color my tab stacks would be excellent.
-
@MisterZed This topic is tagged as Will Not Do, so if you want this, look at the CSS solution.
@barbudo2005 said in Color a Single Tab (or Tab Group):
It works for me without any problems.

how depressing...

@MisterZed If you think the cup is half empty you may be sad; but if you realise it is half full you can always be happy.

I am a great fan and user of Vivaldi for years, but having said that, I have to use Edge in my work - no Vivaldi is possible there - and yes the ability to color a group of tab in Edge is really something I miss in Vivaldi
-
@netean 5 years later and still no coloured tabs groups
-
Hello. I wish Vivaldi gets an update that involves customisable tab groups that are able to coloring like Edge browser... Current group tabs are so confusing in Vivaldi
-
Sadly, even Microsoft Edge has coloured tab groups now (albeit through an extension)
-
@netean Vivaldi also has coloured tab groups by using a CSS modification. Read the thread to find the relevant posts.

Why Vivaldi team introduced CSS modification in the first place?
Think about it.
Look this post;
-
@barbudo2005 cool, so I just have to learn how to code and I'm good!
-
Look this post for instructions:

@Pesala True you can do that through CSS. But not all users know how to even do such a thing. Which is the advantage Chrome, Edge and Brave have. Its all available through a right click and drag. Pick your colour, rename your group and you are ready to go.
I think people here are seeking for such native build and not rely on coding to seek what they want.

The CSS mod is just a workaround for people with coding skills, it can’t be a reasonable solution for the full audience.
As of now this feature is already a standard, and we miss it! Is like “find and replace” in any text editor…

Said:

Wrong.
It is like "copy and paste". A feature that is already a standard in any browser and text editor. -
@AryanDevasagayaum I still don’t have any significant coding skills, but I do use a number of CSS mods posted by others who do, and share them on my Vivaldi Review page. It really is as easy as copy/paste. This CSS mod by @barbudo2005 is more complex than most that I use, but it still just needs copy/paste.
Sure, it is better to have these mods built-in with options to select in themes or elsewhere in settings, but this request is tagged as Will Not Do.
Workarounds provided by dedicated users in their free time is what makes Vivaldi so special. At least the Vivaldi team have provided the tools and the forum to make such mods possible.
-
Yes that’s great, but you are not a representative sample of the standard user.
…or is Vivaldi intended only for its niche?
P
-
Do you think that copy and paste is a characteristic that only niche people know how to use?
Please, a little more common sense.
-
@barbudo2005 exactly the opposite!
My comment was to Pesala.
Coloring a tab stack is like copy-paste, it is a standard function for a browser and for this reason it cannot be delegated to any workaround.
Workarounds are for niche people, there my challenge: shall a standard function be implemented via workarounds or as a proper main feature?
If Vivaldi wants to get to the big audience, then the answer is easy to guess, otherwise it will be used by a small niche of geeks.

@paolo-nicora The developers have clearly decided that this feature will not be implemented as a built-in feature; at least not in the foreseeable future.
My assumption is that it would take too much work to develop and maintain it, and that there are other more pressing matters that they need to work on.
Workarounds are for pragmatists.
