Private Window Themes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2022.6
-
The colour variables being used for the secondary parts of the url are illegible on dark themes as is the new caution icon.
And on light themes they do not emphasize the domain
A simple workaround would be to use a
fg
on the domain and a soft transparency on the rest -
@sjudenim: I think you are going to need to give details of your theme setup as I see neither of these issues in any of the default themes. Also, have you done any modding because it looks like you have and hence have broken it for yourself.
Here it is with an unmodded vivaldi using a couple of the pre-installed default themes
-
- [Address Bar] URL is encoded regardless setting (VB-70978)
Which setting?
The Highlight Base Domain in Address setting still not working unchecked. -

@ian-coog: I hope the store never does such a thing.
It has been done several times, when a extension is found to be malicious or just slightly not complying with their terms, it's simply blacklisted and removed, and it's the extension dev duty to provide a complying version to be readmitted.

Is there a way to disable ALT for V menu, hard to play games from archive.org if V menu keeps popping up when ALT key is pressed, no problems with Edge.
-
@iPristy Yes
Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.
The better solution (IMO) is to use the Disable Keyboard Shortcuts hotkey, by default umapped.
-
@pathduck: Yes, thanks i found it as ALT for main menu is now disabled.

Had to disable the auto updater as it broke the check for updates from the menu on macOS -

Built-in adblocker is a good thing.
But don't even think about dropping uBlock Origin supportWe will continue to improve our own implementation, but you can still use an extension if you like. Vivaldi is all about choice.
-
@MasterLeo29 I'm missing something here? right now you can customize both thumbnails and background image using the context menu. is this a different speed dial that the one i'm referring to?
-
@jon I have never used an ad-blocker, but the built-in blocking is a great help on YouTube.
Google did something evil by adding rolling ads to all of YouTubers old videos so there are lots of complaints in the comments blaming the content creators.
All I see is a button to Skip Ads, and the video plays as soon as I click it. I recommend Vivaldi to work around this problem.
Try watch any video like this one with Vivaldi's ad-blocking disabled, then enable it and try again.

@sjudenim That's an extremely low-contrast theme... but yeah the problem is this:
Background of address field is
--colorBgIntenser (#0b0d13)
Text of Lowlight elements is--colorFgFadedMost (#1b242d)
These are very similar colours.
I definitely think they have more work to do on this, but also it's unlikely it will ever work for all possible theme colour variants anyway. They would have to add fancy contrast-detection or something. IMO they should just drop the whole address-bar highlighting scheme, it's a Bad Thing
Highlight what's important but don't obscure stuff we need to understand.
They should at least consider changing the Lowlight to like
colorFgFaded
instead ofcolorFgFadedMost
, it would help a lot.On this topic: @Ruarí The "Highlight Base Domain in Address" setting appears to do nothing now, is this correct?
-
Very nice update! But I won't stop using uBlock Origin until you guys add an element picker
-
They can use the same
fg
for domain with transparency for the secondary url bits instead of calculating a different colour.Using
opacity: 0.7
worked perfectly on @tam710562's original mod that did this https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/37609/mask-for-the-address-bar?page=1Of course if there is very little contrast between the
fg
and thebg
, then even this wouldn't work very well. So as you said, not all themes will -
The integrated ad blocker doesn't support all rules of the AdGuard filter lists.

@Sdar Perhaps. I was talking about the start page custom image. As far as I saw, you can now have two themes (one for regular; one for private) but only one custom start page image. (if there is the option, I might have just missed it)
-
New Tab Page as Blank Page remains broken, as I mentioned in the previous build. "about:blank" text remains visible and unselected in the address bar, which means that every time you open a new (blank) page you have to delete that by hand before you start typing a new URL.
@k3dAR: thanks for the tip, I have been doing the same until the issue gets fixed.
-
OK, I found that I can revert to previous/desired behaviour by using "Blank New Tab Page" extension by Jarek Foksa. In the Vivaldi Settings I selected:
"TABS/New Tab Page= Start Page" and ticked "Controlled by Extension".
-
@gorg Why does anyone need to do this at all?
Just open links or bookmarks in a new tab if you don't want to use the start page with speed dials. Or, use the Quick Commands to type a URL and set it to always open a new tab.
Even easier is to open the Bookmarks Panel, right-click on the Speed Dial folder, and remove it. Then, use the Start Page as your New Tab page, and use a nice image or a plain background, whichever you prefer.
