Private Window Themes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2022.6
-
@sjudenim: The contrast in your theme is very low to begin with, and that propagates to the other colors. You'll need to increase the brightness of the Foreground color to fix this. But the first screenshots you shared does not look like Vivaldi at tall - is it a different browser, or just heavily modified Vivaldi?
-
please fix this troublesome bug in time for the next release [VB-70371]...
-
while you guys are at it, please also let us customize the text color of inactive tabs so we can more easily spot the active tab [VB-58848]...

@chas4: If it does not respond that means it already run in the background (silently). All you have to do then is restart your browser and you will already be on the latest version

They would have to add fancy contrast-detection or something.
You mean like this setting that we already have?
-
@steffie: Yes but now your browser is using the wrong English forever (or until you manually change it back in settings). Mine is a temporary change that can be dropped once we fix the bug
P.S. Thanks for your help on this

Not really, no. Because I was talking about users who intentionally (or not) set their theme to very low contrast, and then are unable to read the address bar because of the URL obfuscation.
The contrast setting wouldn't help, because they might like a very low-contrast UI for some reason. But they still want to be able to read the URL...

Odd... this new snapshot still hasn't reached Arch... neither
herecura
nor AUR.Now it’s there!

No you are incorrect, & my previous notes explicitly mentioned this. The initial V-SS launch after changing
en_AU.utf8
to another locale, seems to "clear" whatever was previously blocking the launch. Then, i can, & HAVE, reverted toen_AU.utf8
... subsequent V-SS launches then continue to succeed.Furthermore, the new SS has now arrived in Arch. I have just finished updating my Arch VM [not yet my real Arch on Tower], & the new SS still launches again, still with
en_AU.utf8
, because i did that locale two-step the other day. As i said, i did explicitly document this in the forum. -

Can't they just turn the address highlighting off, then?
There's an option to do so in settings as "Highlight Base Domain in Address".

@LonM Doesn't work in this and last snapshot. Doesn't actually do anything.
-
@iAN-CooG Yep, is definitely a bug.
-
@iAN-CooG ah, yes, you're right. If someone wants to file a bug report for this, I'll confirm it in the bug tracker.
-
@LonM Sure, I'll bite. Hang on... Reported as VB-71142.
-
Hmm, I can’t seem to be able to unfocus the address field in private window when I’m on the start page. Anyone to confirm?
-
@Pathduck Thanks. Some people don't like the new highlighting, so this new feature needs to be toggleable.
-
Real improvement to ad blocker will be adding the possibility to add entries to user's block list by selecting elements on web pages.
-
I see this new Caution icon showing up on these forums and on my Speed Dial. I can see all of the address. Something is not working correctly yet.

@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.
I think Google - who are definitely now being evil - are making an insane mistake with this recent ad push on YouTube. Personally, the YouTube app on the phone became literally unwatchable and I just stopped using it! I searched for a solution, installed NewPipe and can watch everything in peace again. Shortly afterwards, my wife who thought I was exaggerating also couldn't take it and asked me to install NewPipe for her as well. A couple of weeks later, Google changed something which broke NewPipe - and for the one day it took NewPipe team to release a fix she went absolutely crazy trying to use the YouTube app.
Far from getting more clicks I think all it's doing is driving people to resent Google more than ever and look to alternatives.
