Vivaldi Themes update

pafflick

Our Vivaldi Themes gallery just got a little makeover. With over 3000 themes (and counting), we've made finding your new favourite theme easier with the revamped filtering.

Now you can combine different filters and sorting options. Want to check out the latest Nature themes with green accents? There you go! Most popular featured Space themes? We've got you covered! Seeking the best purple theme? You'll find it here.

Refresh your browsing experience and try something new from our constantly growing gallery. What theme are you using right now? Is it something from the gallery, your creation or just one of the defaults?

@pafflick Sounds good. However, the filter would need to be improved.
I just tried filtering a theme with blue color.
As a result, also a red theme appears:

@Dancer18 These colours are defined by theme authors. If you believe a certain theme doesn't use the specified colour, please report it so that it can be reviewed and adjusted (if needed). Please also keep in mind that a theme might use multiple colours, and no rule says that a blue theme cannot have red accents. 🙂

Thanks for the revamp.

Personally, I change all themes that I install to not use overly rounded corners or adapt to page backgrounds, since I just don't like those options - but that's easy to achieve and I think it's correct not to put so much emphasis on this as additional criteria for searching. Maybe it would rather be an idea to fix these settings at one point and override any theme-specific settings.

What I would, however, believe would probably be helpful:

an extra filter for custom buttons - I don't think that there are many themes yet that use those, but I would totally like to see different suggestions here
having dark as an extra toggle. In my opinion, it does not really fit the rest of the categories (vivaldi official themes do not, either, but dark themes is something people will typically search for).

There are none, as the feature has not been officially released yet. All in due time. Have patience.

This was of course planned from the start of this redesign, in fact it was a major part of the reason why we wanted to redesign it in the first place

Feature is now enabled. See: https://themes.vivaldi.net/browse?icons=1

@thomasp I love how you listed the buttons there, makes it easy for others to pick and choose icons they like without necessarily downloading and exporting the theme - good thinking!
