Setting for Spacing Above Tabs in Maximized and Non-maximized Windows
-
In Opera 12.18 there is a setting for Chrome Integration Drag Area as well as for Chrome Integration Drag Area Maximized so one can change the spacing above tabs in non-maximized.
- Setting this to zero will make it easier to select tabs in windows that are maximized vertically, but not horizontally
- Increasing the value will make it easier to select non-maximized windows when the tab bar is full of tabs.

@Pesala Both are valid choices, and essential, IMO. But dont you think it would be more useful if we could change this on the fly.
Because when we want to get the browser out of the way to do something else (or drag it elsewhere) and nothing we do seems to make it move as we try to search for a draggable area in the menu/tab bar ?
So instead of a manual preference, if we just have a shortcut to a toggle that changes it from 0 to say .5cm ? (And when the configurable status bar finally sees light, there could be a li'l button there)

@rojaviv If you don't fill the tab bar with tabs, there is always somewhere to drag the window. If you do, then there are already shortcuts to get the window out of the way.
- Windows key + Left/Right or Up/Down

@pesala I always fill up my tabs. Win+nav didnt do anything for me...Win 8.1

@rojaviv Even with the tab bar choc-a-bloc with tabs, there is space to grab the tab bar — just not very much.
-
@pesala Right, I knew that but even that space becomes painfully miniscule to grab at times when you are in a hurry and sometimes doesn't seem to work
-
@rojaviv The very same thing annoyed me too. You can increase the window grabbing area at the top with only a single change in the CSS: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/47713/too-narrow-window-grabbing-area/9

Yes, please implement this!
I regularly work with many tabs open, which leaves only a small sliver of space that can be grabbed for moving the window around. I think the spacing above the tabs should be increased by default when not maximized, so you can easily move the window around without accidentally clicking on a tab, or moving a tab out into a window by mistake (I move quickly, happens often). When maximized, this spacing should shrink to what it is now (1px?) because it is very easy to grab the window in this case by just moving the mouse to the top of the screen. Alternatively, this could be a configurable option.
Note: Use native window is not a suitable alternative to this, because you lose theming, tab color in title, and most importantly it wouldn't give you the vertical space when maximized.

I would like to be able to remove the spacing.
I am using Win11 Snap Layouts and Win10 PowerToys FancyZones on a 4K monitor with 100% scaling, so that I have lots of extra vertical space for my application in the center while still being able to have chat/email/reference/etc on the sides. However it is quite annoying to me that even though Vivaldi is vertically maximized and I have enabled the setting "Remove Tab Spacing in Maximized Windows", that tab spacing is only removed when Vivaldi is fully maximized, not just vertically maximized. For example this layout:

Found this related thread SuperUser: Chrome: remove padding/border from window when not maximized on split screen.
Comments say Firefox already had this feature years ago.
