Change Web Panels Zoom
-
@Pesala Just wanna say super thanks for this, works really well. I would love a slider to exist for it though, or at least keyboard commands. Hopefully at some point that gets added.

Adding some function to do this into Vivaldi would be extremely useful to a degree difficult to emphasize. I've tried the LonM mod (suggested by @joao.rossa) but the zoom resets almost every time you move to another panel or click a link. And sometimes doesn't work on certain websites.
However, the console command here suggested by @Pesala does work more slightly more permanently but it still has to be applied at every browser restart.
NOW, I did just realize this console command can be entered into a custom javascript plugin addon, such as "UserJavaScript and CSS" for chrome. Note that this will apply the zoom to that website regardless of whether you load it in the panel or in a normal tab. Put the URL of the site in question into the addon, then paste the code document.body.style.zoom = "80%" in the javascript field, and save it. This should work for any addon that allows custom javascript injections.
The zoom effect is maintained through browser restarts. Multiple zoom levels can be set by making an individual rule for each zoom level and selecting them if your addon has a quick switch function for individual rules. Keep in mind you also have on the fly zoom controls in the main window anyway, so you can always zoom back in or out when you visit that site in the main window.
Still, this injection won't work on extensions, which is unfortunate because it's the main reason I wanted to use it. I guess I'll make a macro to enter the console command every time I restart vivaldi.
So as you can see, there are various convoluted methods of making this work, all with their own problems that make them less than ideal solutions. I really hope devs implement this function properly soon.
edit: if someone is looking to change default page zoom for web pages (not extensions), Zoom for Google Chrome is an addon I've been using that works instead of the custom javascript mod.

There's clearly a lack of focus on panels from the team for some reason.
Which is strange since its one of main features of the browser. -
Hey people, I'm new here. I just wanted to make a good decision and switch from Opera to Vivaldi - and use it as a second browser (I'm using also Firefox). I was happy that V. just released new version...
And what I need to say... yeah, long story short - I feel really bad about what I'm seeing here. Problem with "zooming panels" starts in 2016... and nobody fixed that yet? Like it's really THAT HARD? Lot of people has problem with it... and nobody cares.
Look, I really don't have time for modding the browser which should have ZOOM OPTION to be out-of-the-box... I just wanted to be an user of a nice project - and use Vivaldi as everyday browser. Too bad, because people here are more interested in changing icons. Cool.
I don't know if someone from the crew will ever read this, but - sorry, I know that maybe I have old computer and everybody has now gaming-monitors which are big as a fridge, but nah - I really just can't look at this thing:
It looks like shit.
And here is Opera:It looks allright.
Nothing more - just allright.You're making Calendars, webapps, tutorial videos, you have great developers - I really can't understand why it's still like that. Maybe in other life I would spent tweny hours on this forum chatting and modding and reading hundreds of posts about implementation of this "feature" - but no, not now. Now I'm doing other stuff and if you want to make a browser for casual people - not only for "community of CSS modders" - I have an advice.
Browser should look nice.
And now - it looks damn tough.
I wish you best - maybe someday I will try again. Thank you for your work and that you're respecting privacy and make stuff open source. See ya later. -
I am looking for this feature too.
+1 UP -

Yes, the mod that admittedly does work to an extent is worth having, however it is a damn nuisance to have to reinstall it every time I update vivaldi. Is there some way of making this automatic?
-
@element4l Take a look at this thread. You'll find scripts to patch Vivaldi after an update.
-
It's been so many years and requsted by so many users. I don't understand why this is still not implemented.
-
@wuzhe With 5,453 feature requests, and a small team, those needed by few users or difficult to implement may have to wait for a long time. Wherever you see that a feature is tagged as In Progress, it may get done this year rather than next.

Please vivaldi team I hope you can read this comment but I think that at this point where vivaldi becomes increasingly known and the use of web panels are essential it would be an excellent option to be able to add a button to gradually zoom in on each web panel to power adjust it and graduate it to taste , this would be fascinating , I hope you can take my suggestion and do it in some next update

Hi. I'm very much interested in changing the zoom settings but the tutorials of how to modify vivaldi seem old. Are they still valid? I can't find the folders in appearance section. Or browser.html file. Any video or picture material would be awesome. I'm using Mac by the way.
-
@Maangustass Off-topic here. I believe there is a method using CSS. Search, then ask in the Modding Vivaldi forum.

I have this in my book and am currently working on it. It should arrive in a snapshot soon.
-
Available since Snapshot 5.4.2707.2
-
@Alacho Could you explain what you have implemented?
Under Appearance I can change the Zoom for the menu.
On the main page I can zoom and unzoom on the bottom right.For the webpanel nothing has changed for me. I do not know how to zoom in and out.
I am using 5.4.2712.3 (Official Build) (64-bit).\
My Command line param contain different profiles and stand alone.
G:\Prgs\PortableApps\vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe" --user-data-dir="g:\VivAdm" --profile-directory="G06 Dorgan" --disk-cache-dir="c:\ViVGcache" --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end --vivaldi-standalone --save-page-as-mhtml
-
Same when using default profile for stand alone version.

In the image you see the webpanel not zooming, while the main page has zoomed in.

Right click on the webpanel's header, select Toolbar / Display Zoom Controls.

@kurai Great, it works

@Alacho It also saves the values? (Didn't jump to the juicy snap yet ^^)
