Night Mode to Protect the Eyes
-
It would be desirable if there were some sort of night mode to protect the eyes. Quasi an inverted representation. What do you think of that?
-
There is an invert filter in statusbar/footer (<> icon) or you could try a night mode extension if you want to customize that.
Even intensify filter or other filters could help. -

Great -

Thank you - for the note. That's a good program. I've known it before. The current Ubuntu version contains a similar one by default. But that's not the same as a real dark screen.
-
The other thing beside the invert filter in Status Bar / <> is to employ Reader View there. In options you can set RV to Dark mode, and make other adjustments such as line length and height. You can key RV to a hotkey also, for fast toggling.
-
@paul1149
good hint, but where can I find the options for it ? -
@giu On any page where reader view is enabled by clicking the icon in the URL field, there's a gear button at top right of the reader view page to configure the reader view.
-
@giu I don't see any feature request for this yet.
Create a new thread in the Feature Requests Forum.

I am currently using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/darky-night-mode-on-any-w/alncdjedloppbablonallfbkeiknmkdi?hl=en-US and it works like charm to be honest. There is some loading time, especially for massive websits, but it is fine. One thing that is a big plus - it does not invert the images, so Facebook looks decent for example.
-
@stan-d There's loading time for any website. Personally I think it's annoying, but the loading time has to be, the colors need to be calculated. I'm just glad I have no problem with dark or light websites ^^
-
@luetage Yeah, I spoke with the developer regarding the loading time. You are right, the colors need to be analysed and converted. The other way is to simply invert them, but it looks disgusting.

@Pesala Can I use Dark Read on any web page?
Even if I am not enabled for reading modeJust like I just open Google regularly, Vivaldi can turn it into Dark Read
-
@poto Reader View only works on sites that are designed to support it.

@Gwen-Dragon said in Night Mode to Protect the Eyes:
Unfortunately the internal vivaldi flag to force dark mode is not existent in 2.8 stable and broken on 2.9 Snapshot(crashes it).
I hope the upcoming 2.9 Stable will fix it!uh...any easy way to fix this? I turned it on to test it and now can't open my browser at all :x

@Shadess Seems many fell in this same trap, follow the instructions I wrote here:

@iAN-CooG I run a standalone installation of Vivaldi, but am not seeing that file anywhere.
edit: Found it, works again!
Thanks a bunch. Will make sure my Vivaldi backups are up to date now

No one has a keyboard shortcut for enabling/disabling any of these, do they?
When blinded by a white light at night, a hotkey would be much faster for me than chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark or "Page Actions > Filter Invert".
I'd love a hotkey / command chain that let me toggle chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark between "Default" and on. (Sounds like people generally prefer setting it to "Enabled", "Enabled with Selective Inversion of Non-Image Elements", or "Enabled with Selective Inversion of Everything", so I guess I personally would set up hotkeys for trying all three depending on the website).
-
@ukanuk A hotkey or command chain for chrome experiments wouldn’t help, toggling a flag requires a restart. Page actions are available in keyboard shortcuts and in quick commands, so you can already toggle the filter invert action. I also created a little more sophisticated bookmarklet style command chain for triggering dark pages, which you can find here (dark invert) ☛ https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/63828/command-chain-recipes.

Really? I do see them in Quick Commands, but do NOT in keyboard shortcuts or command chains.

Vivaldi for Android allows toggling "Dark mode for Web Pages" which does not require a restart. Maybe the chromium engine backend is somehow different on mobile vs desktop, preventing devs from easily copying that mobile feature to desktop.

Very cool, if Vivaldi doesn't support it natively then this is the sort of workaround I was hoping for!
