Native titlebar gone
-
After updating to 1.13 I only get Vivaldi's very thin titlebar (which I really don't like) and not the window manager's native titlebar.
I'm running KDE Plasma / kwin.Thanks

Have you tried Tools->Settings->Appearance, check "Use Native Window", restart?

Oh thanks, it did the trick.I guess the new version reset that option for some reason.
I was searching for "titlebar" in the Settings and didn't notice the "native window" option.Thanks!

You're right, it did, for me too. I've been using V since Feb 2015, & mostly the updates occur smoothly without changing any of my settings. However occasionally an update here & there does muck up a bit... disabling Native Window has happened before as well. It's inconvenient rather than alarming once you have the longer historical perspective, but i imagine it might seem pretty confronting for newer users.
Though this has not occurred to me for a very long time, another one to occasionally recheck after updates is this one, down at the bottom of the Advanced section of vivaldi://settings [maddeningly you have to type in chrome://settings/ to get to this]:
Like most [many? some?] users, i want this OFF, but in older times some updates would reactivate it.

Yes, thanks for the reminder. I've that one, too, and forgotten . . .
I'd prefer open source everything, but I must say Vivaldi presents a better workflow on Linux than Firefox for me, so I stick with it.

<<whilst we are now veering calamitously OT [i hope that @TbGbe never reads this, otherwise we're goners for sure] i'm happy to weigh in on this tangent [i lurve tangents; soooo much better than sines & cosines, pffft]>>
Exactly. Anyone who's been in the V fora for a while, &/or has perused comment sections on many other sites, will know that there's a certain type of Linux enthusiast who are so ideologically dogmatic on their FOSS/GNU philosophy that they reject V summarily on this basis alone. Never mind the oft-stated fact that they can still inspect the code to their hearts' content. Never mind the awesome native functionality of V that already dwarfs all others & this is still only early days. Oh nooooooooooooo, we're not gonna use V coz we enjoy self-flagellation & hair-shirts. We are the very embodiment of noses, spite, faces & cutting.
BTW, i energetically support & agree with GNU/FOSS, it's great... but practicality also counts for something.
Handing back the hypotenuse now.

@steffie OH, AH, OA
I must be lucky, never had these settings changed by updates. -
