Solved Completely remove extension button

sackboy97

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to completely hide an extension button (without removing the extension of course). By "completely" I mean that I would like to not have the icon appear even after clicking the "Toggle extensions" button.
In this way I could keep a certain number of extension icons permanently available, while still having a few other a click away in a non-cluttered manner.
Hope that was sufficiently clear; if there's no direct option to do this, a CSS solution would be just as good.

@sackboy97 Hello and Welcome to the Vivaldi Community

You can completely hide an extension icon with CSS:

/* Hide Extension buttons */
.button-toolbar.extensionId button[title="Spatial Navigation"] {display: none;}

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Attribute_selectors

while still having a few other a click away in a non-cluttered manner.

There is no way to do this, once hidden with CSS the only way to access its options/settings is to go to the Extensions manager. So this is best for extensions you will never have a need to change anything with.

@WildEnte

any idea how I can get my KeepassXC icon back?

You removed the Extensions toggle button
It can be added back in Customize Toolbar.

There is also a bug in Snapshot, fixed in Stable:
[Extensions][Toolbars] Icon shows when toggling disabled (VB-89602)
I.e. when all extensions are set to showing, the toggle button should not be shown at all.

Edit: Moving this to Modifications category.

@sackboy97 right click the button and choose "hide button"?

Note that I have now hidden my keepassxc extension button and don't find a way to make it show again without going over the puzzle icon extension button

That's not what I was asking for though.

Currently it looks like this; then when I click the arrow, I have a series of icons, from every extension I have installed.

What I would like is to only have certain icons appear when toggling, so that it can be better organised. I do want to keep the option to toggle, which is why hiding that button would not help.

WildEnte

Ah. So not only have I not helped you, but I have also broken my setup

sorry I don't know the answer.
@DoctorG I see that you have looked at my post - any idea how I can get my KeepassXC icon back? Or if it is not possible, is this worth a bug report?

No, sorry.

I have done that of course but I want the KeePassXC icon back and see no way to do that (other than uninstallong3and reinstalling the extension, which I haven't tried yet)

@WildEnte Once the toggle icon is back, the hidden extension will be shown when clicking the toggle.

If that doesn't work --- might be a bug...
