Solved Combine Window Title and Address Bar when Tabs are on the Side

@geektbee @tellah

I've also been using the script from the first post for a long time and it stopped working with 3.3. The reason is that some of the elements in the browser were renamed.

I just had a look, and for me, the fix was as simple as replacing all instances of the following in the base script:

.toolbar.toolbar-addressbar

with:

.UrlBar.toolbar.toolbar-mainbar.toolbar-large

Now (everything that I use) looks just like it did before 3.3.

I hope that helps you both.

This kept them from completely overlapping, thanks.

They were still pretty crowded, but tweaking padding-left from 24px to 40px under "Reduce toolbar size for vivaldi button" gave them a comfortable margin. Probably dependent on screen resolution.

@zo1d Unfortunately this doesn’t work on macOS. Is there any way to merge the window title & address bar into one on the Mac?

[hlehyaric]

@chiefsucker It's better to ask for a mod on Modification forum board than on FR board.

This is a great request to make Vivaldi stand out in the browser wars. Should be marketed as Laptop Mode, as it's most usable on laptops with limited vertical pixels, like 1920x1080. I'm using combine-header-toolbar.css with the bookmarks and tabs to the left, with the regular tabs panel removed. Absolutely love it!

This worked great for me on macOS:

#browser #header {
  display: none;
}

@cubeapril now when you open the preferences you cannot close it !!!

@mzayani add :not(.is-settingspage) after #browser

I have made some modifications to the original based on comments in this thread and posted it in a github repo. You can see it here: https://github.com/ngburke/vivaldi-custom-ui. Only tested on windows so far.

@ngburke This works fine on Linux (XFCE). Thank you.

[valsuraev]

@ngburke,
is there any way to make it work on any window size, not only when maximized?

[ngburke]

@valsuraev yes, you can. Replace everything that says ".maximized" with ".normal". However, it is not very usable because there is no way to grab the window and move it. If you find out a way to keep the window movable, let me know and I'll publish a version.

@ngburke Hello
css works fine in browser, but in mail buttons collide with each other, can you look at it?

[sedative29rus]

@jatsu Just hold down the Shift key and move these buttons

Hey, do we know if the vivaldi team is considering or implementing this? Do not want to have to keep on modding after every update! And this is the feature that is missing for me, because if edge does it, vivaldi needs to have already done it. Just a joke, but would really appreciate it!

[pafflick]

@michacassola Features that are currently being worked on are tagged as IN PROGRESS. Planned features are tagged PIPELINE. At the moment, this feature is not being developed.

I would really like this; this is extremely similar to the "Hide title bar in vertical tabs" feature in Edge.

@sedative29rus
How do you mean that?
I'm having the same issue as @Jatsu, that the URL bar makes space for the V menu, but in the mail and RSS views, stuff is overlapping.
If I hold shift and drag, nothing happens. If I right-click and click "customize", I have the option to remove an existing icon or reset the bar to default layout.

I think what's needed is an additional line in the .css file which puts a padding/margin on the button bar in the mail/feed view. For that, I need to how to adress that bar via CSS.

@zakmckracken said in Combine Window Title and Address Bar when Tabs are on the Side:

Perhaps you should first place the tab bar on top and then move. Buttons in the mail can be moved in the same way as in other panels.

But I agree that an additional line in css is needed. And this time I didn't get lazy and looked at what should be written in this line.
Something like that:

.maximized#browser:not(.native):not(.tabs-top) .toolbar.toolbar-mainbar.toolbar-mailbar {
	padding-left: 30px;
	padding-right: 140px;
}
