@potmeklecbohdan With Javascript we can add a class to a parent element and make the CSS work through that. In the editor the class just gets removed. I wouldn’t call this a hack necessarily. The question is whether it should be implemented.

@luetage ah, right. if you want to make use of js, it’s considerably easier. i leave the question of (not) including it in the mod to you & others; i had no expectations when posting the css.

@potmeklecbohdan In a way the lack of horizontal space was one of the reasons I introduced the system themes toggle. The other being I don’t want to see default themes I have no use for. Both make sense. The reason why the Vivaldi design theme decided to go for a compact layout is obvious: the editor looks far better and is a little easier to view and operate. And in a finished product it might appear too frenzied changing the width between views, it could be considered distracting…

@luetage well, then i have a suggestion for them – instead of using another .TabbedView inside the editor (which makes it quite hard for me to find the thing i want), show all four sections (header + the three tabs) at once in a grid (or in a single column if there isn’t enough horz space).

oh, is this really the right thread to discuss it?

@potmeklecbohdan As good as any, developers generally don’t hang out on the forum as you know and the according snapshot release topic has been closed. Feature request would be your only way or throwing a tantrum on twitter, I believe Vivaldi’s media team is a little more susceptible to that ^^

A Former User

@luetage hm, true. twitter is not an option, FRs take ages to get implemented, so… take the tsunami path and bug-report it all? [except that doesn’t work well either. let’s just stay with good ol’ mods or Let It Be.]

New version up. You can now expand theme overview to full width and shrink it again. This also has a default switch called expansion, which you can set to »1« to make this the default.

In absolutely no way do i wish to besmirch the wondrous work being done here, nor of the V Devs themselves, regarding Theming. All i'd like to ask though is this one simple, probably naive, question.

Do Vivaldifarians really truly actively frequently change their active theme?

In my case, in past days, i put a lot of effort into deriving a theme i liked. Once i had it, i stick with it, i don't change it. Hence, laudable as all this other work is, it really made me wonder... are most peeps truly cycling thru their themes frequently so as to need improved theme management?

luetage

@guigirl yes
True Vivians need it all.

@luetage

The toggles work fine but V5 toggles all the themes except the active theme. I have substituted emojis for the text in action choices. I have not been able to emojify Open & Export (triangles).

luetage

@pizzapops Yeah, they introduced an additional div around each theme, which messes with the mod. Check latest version in OP. It will toggle everything correctly. The only difference is the active system theme will stay visible when deselected until themes are toggled again. Lets just call it a feature.

stardepp

@luetage Is there still the possibility to export and import all themes you created yourself, like with your old mod "Import and Export Themes"?

luetage

@stardepp I’m afraid not. The inclusion of background pictures makes this impractical. Export your themes as zip for backup purposes.

@luetage I can't handle all these peeps rudely changing their avatars, just coz they write poetry these days!

luetage

@guigirl And I can’t handle all these peeps rudely changing their accounts, just coz they messed up the lyrics! Duel in the gray of dawn?

hlehyaric

@luetage You mean «in the purple of dawn», don't you?

luetage

@hlehyaric No, it’s a classic duel. I choose the color of the sky, guigirl has the choice of weapon.

I could be a squire if you can afford me

@stardust I certainly can’t afford the drinking habits of a squire, thankfully I’m only looking for a second ^^
