Configurable context menus – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2049.2
-
@Pathduck It wasn't fine, but this fact hasn’t changed with the recent change. On certain theme configurations both variable colors are almost invisible. The icon outline of an unbookmarked site is the foreground color and that’s what the fill color for a bookmarked item should be too in my opinion. Changed it for myself with a mod months ago.
.bookmark-animated-fill, .theme-dark .bookmark-animated-fill, .theme-dark.acc-dark .bookmark-animated-fill {fill: var(--colorFg);}
edit: just added another slice to this piece, it’s puzzling why the devs mess with this so much when the solution is so simple
-
@luetage OK so it was because of VB-64131 fix in this? I know some people use very similar colours for background and accent, but surely the purpose of an "accent colour" is that it should be set to something distinguishable from the background...
Oh well... another CSS mod block I guess.
-
@Pathduck Yeah, apparently. I didn’t even read the fixes before… Could be there are more variations to it, gotta test it some more.

Not if you use the accent foreground color, which is only meant to be visible on the accent itself. That's probably why they switched it to accent background. Anyway, the foreground color is always visible, because the address bar uses a variation of the standard background color, has nothing to do with the accent…

No, they switched to accent foreground (colorAccentFgFaded).
But yeah, annoying it is but I guess I understand the thinking behind the change, for those who insist on having the same background and accent colours, because it looks 'coolio' or whatever...IMO if users do that they can blame themselves if they can't see stuff :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:
Anyway, quick fix with a custom CSS and it's good again, using the accent background colour.
EDIT: It's not completely invisible when using the same background and foreground, but not far from it either:
-
@Pathduck Lol, no matter what they switched it to, my point is that no accent color variation should be used in the addressfield at all, because the addressfield’s background color uses a variation of the theme background color. No matter what accent color variation you pick, it could always be barely visible to invisible with the right/wrong combination of accent and background colors in your custom theme. It doesn’t make sense.
-
@Pathduck Good idea. I'm a dummy - i intended to do that before but got distracted by something that lead to another distraction, & i forgot to actually return to this. Shall try it tomorrow.

OK I can see that point. But then they should really have used
--colorFgFaded
instead of--colorAccentFgFaded
. But for most themes I think these will look about the same so shouldn't really make much of a differenceQuick fix though:
/* Bookmark button fill colour */ .bookmark-animated-fill { fill: var(--colorAccentBgFaded) !important; }

Interesting new bug, can someone confirm?
- open
vivaldi://flags
- move the window
- click any of the combo boxes
- the options are displayed at the old position
- open
-
@Gwen-Dragon Thanks, the ID is
VB-72296
. -
@Gwen-Dragon I would rate it higher than that. If you move the window to another monitor you may never notice what is going on if you are unaware of this bug.

'Close tabs to the Left'
Deleted forever! -
Awesome
-
@Gwen-Dragon I'll try to reproduce the issue but it may have to wait till the weekend...

@neltherion i3. dwm. xmonad. bspwm. fluxbox. openbox...

Did you try the same procedure with the files in Sessions ?
Yibberty dibberty, this works!
I simply closed V, renamed Profile 1's directory
Sessions
asSessions_old
, copied Default'sSessions
into Profile 1 [deliberately letting it still include the 8 x 5' autosaved sessions per @LonM's clever https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/259327], relaunched V [ie, Default], launched Profile 1... then oohed & aaahhhed with delight that i was now looking at all the tabs from Default [+ of course those autosaves].Ergo, you have solved it thank you, & i shall now edit my backup pgm to suit.

@Steffie That's great
I worry though, it might not always work as expected, as we have no idea what makes it decide a file named
Session_13245438095836099
is the "last session". Maybe there's more to it, but your test at least showed the files under Sessions are enough to restore the tabs.The number in the file name seems to be a timestamp, but not epoch of course: Being Chromium it uses its own brain-dead timestamp routine:
https://www.epochconverter.com/webkitGoogle dev: "Ewww, epoch is only used by dirty old bearded Unix hackers. But just to be different - what about... (thinks for a long time)... microseconds since 1601, dudes!?"
Other Google devs: "Awesome bro, dude!" -

Use “highlight” color for selection
Hey can this be extended for "Find in page" results? I'm using the vivaldi://flags/#enable-force-dark flag but this makes the non active highlighted words barely noticeable on some sites, and afaik this color can't be changed using css :S
A workaround will be fine too, maybe i'm wrong and there's some secret selector for this that i'm not aware of.

@AltCode "Metoo"! I hope for a quick resolution of the issue! Cannot use Vivaldi otherwise!
