Allow few layouts for speed dials
-
On my phone (4,7'') I can only have a 2x2 speed dial grid on vertical and 3x1 on horizontal layout.
Would be nice to have few scaling options as:
- Iconified speed dials (this will hide text but should give at least a 4x4 or more)
- Small borders (the icon is pretty small, and border is pretty big)
- Listed-grid view (icon + text; columns and row depends on screen size)
(I'm not talking about changing the whole UI scale. Just smaller dials)
-
Absolutely - they could easily be smaller, like in Opera where I can store 30 dials on the Speed Dial.
And Vivaldi really should use the "og:image" or "apple-touch-icon" from the meta headers if available, it seems to only use the small low-quality "favicon" resources.

@Pathduck There are a lot of chanches...
- Current scaling is perfect for bigger devices and for a - probably planned - synced Speed dial images.
- Small border is nice for having more bookmarks while still keeping the picture
- Iconified is for optimizing spaces (who knows, maybe could also rescale custom thumbs, but should be optional as I'm quite sure it'll rendered not too good)
About bigger icons... I think that fetching bigger icons is avoided for UI/UX coherence.
Having bigger and smaller icons in the same page would be a bit ugly -
+1 for smaller speeddial size
-
+1 for smaller speeddial size... With current size is hard to use on a phone.

This needs to be done, the icons are too big, they should be small like Opera mobile.
-
I agree, the icons are too big and there's too much unused space
-
Definitely needs more options for spacing as ut is very inefficient having having only 4 icons per page on a 7inch tablet
-
thumb nail are too biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig.mak it smaller like opera
-
It would be great to be able to choose smaller icons in order to have a 5 icons per row layout. Coming from Opera, this is the only feature I miss.
Please consider it for future updates. Please. -

I agree, the icons of the speed dial are too big. Five per row would be ok (just like those in Opera). Now, with 2 per row, I must scroll a lot to see them all, and this takes time while I could see them easier, at a glance. Thanks for reading my feedback!

Hello,
I just moved from Opera to Vivaldi on all my devices because of the big privacy issues opera has.
Thanks for creating this browser :-).
I agree: The icons have to get smaller. I think the best size is like in opera. Means: 5 icons in a row.
-
Yeah! 4Γ4 or 5Γ5 columns and row of speed dials would be great.

Hi, it is a setting for small speed dials already in latest snapshot.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin Current "small speed dials" are still too large! Vivaldi should have 5 x 6 option like Opera.

@sdorfman
Hi and yes, the icons are still 4 times bigger than my fingertips.
A third option "Tiny" would be nice, better individual size of icon frame.Cheers, mib
