Periodic tab reload – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2056.19

Steffie

@Ruarí Ta, yes i did read it there a couple of hours ago, then managed to forget all about it , til reminded by @potmeklecbohdan . It's approaching pumpkin-o'clock here, so i shall hope that once i'm back at pooter in the morning maybe some magic fairy dust might have been sprinkled.

Please add this complementary feature, so the pages that send a #new-topics-alert will reload only when there is a new one

I fear this only works for NodeBB fora, or maybe even only for this forum.

@potmeklecbohdan Ok, but it is so good that it is worthwhile to install it only for Vivaldi Forum.

For those who want to have it you need Tampermonkey extension.

Open the Dashboard, click the new script button "+":

Replace "// Your code here..." with the script, change the name at "// @name New Userscript", in "// @match " write https://forum.vivaldi.net/* and save it :

Besides, the Vivaldi Forum has "Infinite scroll" so why not could have "Automatic reload when there is a new post"?

Wow, periodic tab reloading! Waiting for this since Opera 12! Thanks a lot!

Using periodic tab reload with the dark theme, the "countdown timer" line is highly visible on a background tab, but not on active tab. On the active tab, it's a light grey on a only slightly darker medium grey. Hard to see, since not much contrast.

(Using Win10 Version 2004 (Build 19041.508), Vivaldi 3.4.2056.19)

Here's what it look like on my system: http://www.wpcoe.com/images/tab-refresh.gif

If I set the Periodic tab reload for a tab, and save it as part of a session, the tab reload setting is not stored.

Is that expected?

@Gwen-Dragon Done:

( VB-72458) Periodic Tab Reload Setting Not Saved with a Session

@Gwen-Dragon The progress bars were designed only for background tabs, so I guess they’ve forgotten to add different style for the active tab (I cannot tell for sure as I’m still stuck with the previous snapshot).

@Pesala I think it is, because the feature is "Periodic TAB reload", in others words temporal.

Would be nice to have a "Periodic SITE reload".

@gwen-dragon: I don't know how to insert a graphic image into a post here, so the link in my previous post is the best I can do.

@potmeklecbohdan: That seems bass-ackwards. From the intro on this page: "So that the reload doesn’t surprise you, we have a small count down animation." You wouldn't be surprised when a background tab reloads as much as you would be if the tab you're currently on (the active tab) reloads, no?

A Former User

@wpcoe Well, (I think) these progress bars are the same as for a loading background page—this is what I meant when I said

The progress bars were designed only for background tabs

Refresh Tab, sounds better, this is on the news of SoftPedia, i did not need to install this.

@gwen-dragon: As far as I can recall, I've made no changes to any appearance other than when I selected the dark theme.

Under Settings > Appearance > COLOR:

Contrast Adjustment, "Medium (WCAG AA)" is selected,
"Background Window Behavior" > "Fade Foreground Colors" is unchecked, and
"Limit Accent Color Saturation" is 100%

Under Settings > Themes > THEMES:

"Dark" is selected, and when I click on "Edit Theme" it creates a "New Theme 1" for changes, so I guess it's not possible to edit the Themes pre-provided by Vivaldi? <shrug>

wpcoe

@gwen-dragon: Upon testing, I find that if I set "COLOR > Contrast Adjustment" to "No modifications," I get the higher contrast with the countdown timer on the active tab like you do, but then the contrast between active and background tabs is muted too much for my preference.

I much prefer the contrast between active and background tabs with "Medium (WCAG AA)," but then I sacrifice the contrast on the active tab for the periodic tab reload's countdown timer. Oh, well...

Hey now that context menus are customizable too i just need another little tiny thing to be customizable as well (aside for the rest of the context menus), "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

Is there any workaround to change this color?

Periodic tab reload seems to crash a lot on my machine. I activated the function on several tabs (some with 2-4 tiles). It seems to work a few times (sometimes only 1 time), and then the progression bar disappears and the Periodic Reload check-mark on the context menu is gone.
