Feature requests for 1.12

rebanar

Add a way to move the extensions icons to the bottom right instead of the top right. I like to have the top of the browser clean, with the search box all the way to the right. Either an extension bar could be added with a customizable position or make it so that the icons can be moved to the status bar by the zoom, toggle images, capture page etc.

@m-mahmoudian I actually made a post requesting almost this exact same thing a few days ago. Hopefully more people will show an interest in this problem.

I very much dislike forced-docking interfaces. When they changed the default option for developer tools to docked, I just about had a fit. Why do people want to smash so much stuff together in one window?

@gazugafan You can change this via a short css code (written by sjudenim)

#panels-container {
    position: absolute !important;
    z-index: 15;
    height: 100%;
}

It has the effect that the site you are looking at no longer needs to be shrinked or resized but instead the panel overlaps the left part of the site. (And yes this has some downsites too in case there are buttons on the left side you want to click).

I case you don't know how to implement your own css - here's an instruction (written by pafflick):

How to use custom css:

1.) Go to the "About" page (vivaldi://about) to check the Vivaldi installation path.
2.) Check the "Executable Path" entry. It should end with \Application\vivaldi.exe. Now close Vivaldi.
3.) Navigate to that Application directory. It should contain a folder named after the current version of Vivaldi, like eg. 1.6.689.40
4.) Open that folder and navigate to the following path: \resources\vivaldi\style
5.) Edit the common.css file with a text editor and add the following code at the beginning of the file:
@import "custom.css";
6.) Use the text editor to create a new file in the same directory and name it custom.css. Make sure the extension of the file is actually .css and not .txt. If you don't know how to do that, check this tip.
7.) Paste the CSS code to that file and save it. You can use that file from now on to paste other codes that you might find on this forum.
8.) NOTE: Each time Vivaldi updates, you'll need to repeat steps 2 - 5 and copy your custom.css file to the new location.

@gaelle I'm requesting for next tab / prev tab using rocker gestures. Imagine how fast you can switch tabs with it. Two tabs away? No problem, two clicks and you're there in under 0.5 second. Cursor will never need to go to and hover over tabs ever again.

Note: The gesture should work even when the cursor hover over the hyperlinks. A bonus if it can do rocker gesture on full screen video.
I hope this feature can be implemented in version 1.13 or even better v1.12

@zaibon That's not how we implement custom.css these days. Official guide here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10549/modding-vivaldi

ROTFL

@areriff What about holding right mouse key and scrolling with mouse? (already implemented)
The only problem is that switching tabs in this way is based on usage order...

Have Client Side Decoration Buttons integration in Linux, to replace the Chromium-esque ones otherwise used, and have it as an option in Settings. Firefox is managing to do it so far, and it'd be more than awesome to see such integration in my favorite browser of all time!

In short: Headerbar Window Controls (Linux), but in the Vivaldi interface, as an option.

@a1batross I currently have the setting enabled in Vivaldi to Switch Tabs by Scrolling. Is that what you meant? If so, it is available already, I believe.

I love the capture feature. One thing it definitely needs is the ability to capture a scrolling area. Also, i feel there may need to be an option to choose the quality because some of my screenshots have been very pixelated when pasting into a program.

@xrksed You're right about jpg capture quality should be adjustable, it's fixed to 85%; for now you can capture in PNG which is lossless, and if you absolutely have to, convert them to jpg with the quality you need.

@areriff upvote this https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/20037/feature-requests-for-1-12/44
@ROTFL you can change that in settings. "Cycle in Tab Order" instead of "Cycle in Recently Used Order"
I personally want RMB+scroll to "Cycle in Tab Order" and Rocker gestures to "Cycle in Recently Used Order".

@luetage Ehrm yes... damnit. I just searched css in my "answer database" and copied the text. Somehow my tagging system let me down because I already implemented the new one. -.-'

I find it more enjoyable to read white letters on a black background, apart that also saves battery on the laptop.
It is to be appreciated that Vivaldi includes the possibility to invert the colors of a page, but for example in this forum does not work, as it is also the white background, changing only the edges.
You have to activate it each time again and do not save the pages where it is applied.
Currently I use an extension (Dark Reader), but it would be desirable to improve the function to be able to do without these extensions.

LonM

@catweazle Ages ago I posted a bug report which I think is related to pages not being properly inverted. VB-22592. I'm not sure what came of it though.

Ability to export and import web panels. I ran into this need when installing Vivaldi on a new machine and realized how much easier it could have been setting up the web panels.

SheldonS

Ability to set a background image with a theme. Often times I have a theme that looks good with a certain background. When I change my theme I'd like that to change as well without me having to change it.
