Multiple Row Tabs

Pesala

@AlienProber Mods are provided by users, not by Vivaldi. Use at your own risk, and don't use them if they annoy you. Please contribute to the community with your own mods if you have the necessary skills.

Better read the sticky thread in the modifications forum.

I just use a few CSS modifications, which do not require vivaldi hooks, or reinstalling after updating. I can easily tweak them myself by editing my custom.css file in notepad and restarting Vivaldi with a bookmark (vivaldi://restart) on my Bookmarks Bar.

This has been implemented already in Vivaldi Hooks, which you can access and find more out about here. However, due to the way it works, you'll need to reinstall the hooks every time Vivaldi is updated. It's a small price to pay to have this, and quite a lot of other, new functionality.

So we have featiures that we have to reinstall after every Vivaldi update if we use them? That's annoying.

Since Vivaldi 2.6 you can put all mods you need to some folder and specify it in Vivaldi settings. After updates Vivaldi will remember the path to this folder and will continue to use that mods.

Here’s how to do it: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10549/modding-vivaldi

@alexander-gorbovets Nice! This way updates are smoother! Now we just need something like TabMixPlus from old Firefox and we're good to switch!

Yes something like TabMixPlus would be great.

Yes, for it seems that mainly due to security and speed aspects, then unlike legacy Firefox ESR 59.9 with Tab Mix Plus and a few other extensions. which enabled more key customizations than the whole of Edge, which the below critique is aimed at, but much applies to browsers of that engine of which Vivaldi is part of:

You cannot make it show multiple tab rows (you can with Firefox
Quantum but it takes one [1]of the hacks. And unless the latter is a portable version, it cannot run concurrently with FF ESR)
You cannot adjust max or min tab width. And the more you open the thinner they get, and all look the same. (except the active tab has an close
You cannot close a non-active tab by just placing your cursor on it the top right
to get a X to click on (so unless you activate it, you need to R. click on it and hit close tab).
You cannot enable different colored tabs as with the legacy Colorful Tabs extension (NOT the one in Quantum).
You cannot choose to open links in other installed browsers via right click.
You cannot toggle btwn the most recently accessed tabs using the Ctrl+Tab switch (and its Alt+Tab alternative messes up switching btwn applications).
Edge has a very poor spell checker and the dictionary is hard to find in the drive even if you could edit it (as you can with that of Firefox).
You cannot create more than one profile (as far as i know).
I know no extension that saves your text box posts such as this, like the Lazarus legacy FF extension did/does.
MS does not make it easy to set another browser as the default one for all html documents and links (details too long for here).
There is no option to keep the Find/Search bar open across tabs (handy in searches), meaning you need to do the search new for every tab.
There is no option via right click on a tab to choose “Copy link.”

Since MS writes the software for Windows, than it ought to be able to create a real "utility truck" browser - and which I am sure would become a classic for "power users" - rather than just another minimalist Chrome clone.

However, although using the same engine, Vivaldi has more options so that some of the above criticisms do not apply to it: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50835261511_0edaca21c2_c.jpg

We just released Vivaldi 3.6 and with it we introduced a second level for stacked tabs. You can read about it on the release blog here.
I know it's not exactly what has been asked for in this feature request, but I'm sure it'll come in handy.

This aforementioned release broke the hack that was working for a year - https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/340904. The release came handy alright...
Could someone please update the hack so it works with the current release, or direct me to some other means for having multiple rows of tabs in Vivaldi?

barbudo2005

@infinitywarden

Make this modifications:

Replace this :

#tabs-container  {height: auto !important;}

For this :

#tabs-tabbar-container {height: auto !important;}

Add this:

.tab-position
 
{--PositionX: 0px  !important;}

You get this again:

Also works with:

And also with:

And if you click the stack appears the second level:

The best of two worlds!!!!!

Multiline tabs and two-level stacks.

Can you throw in a guess whether that means this real multiline feature request is dead for good?

I would think with the delivery of the new way the team will probably be done with this topic.

I hope this feature request is not dead, since this thread has the tag “in progress”

For the meantime I'll be using the 'hack' above.

Are you using Gorsash Multiline tabs Mod?

Hey thanks a lot. The first up-to-date - browser to introduce a second level in the tab bar for managing tab groups: Two-Level Tab Stacks. Now for Colorful Tabs as seen on my page 4 post.! But I thank God I even have Internet, besides these enchantment tools.

@potmeklecbohdan
So in Ver. 3.6 you add this code to common.js in %localappdata%\Vivaldi\Application\3.6.2165.34\resources\vivaldi\style ?

Do you add it after ({1797:function(e,t,r){}}); ?

I see another code in https://gist.github.com/gorsash/0d4de703a84c620c7280830aba582758

Note that -two-level tabs are now default in 3.6: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/desktop-releases/vivaldi-tabs-two-level/

@Saved2Serve No, you don’t add anything to an original Vivaldi file, & you don’t mix up .js & .css. See Modding Vivaldi, part 2.6+. Also, I don’t know if the code still works, but I think that w/ the patches by @barbudo2005 it could.

Just create a new css file in your Vivaldi mods directory and put the mod into that file. You can give any name to that file, just append .css at the end.
See how to setup Vivaldi mods directory here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10549/modding-vivaldi

@Bender This feature request is definitely not dead. The dev team has many more ideas for the Tabs they want to work on. Unfortunately, I don't know which feature is next in line.
