Vivaldi VH - Full height for your webpages, now on version 1.4

HKayn

Version 1.1.0 is now available!

Changes:

The button that toggles hidden extensions is now always to the right of the extensions grid.
Command Chain Flags for inverting the position of the hidden extensions toggle are now available.
The logic that calculates the width of an extending input field has been improved to take additional browser settings into account.
The title bar height and address box row height have been changed to 25px and 34px respectively.

Fixes:

The height of title bar elements will no longer change in unintended ways when changing the user interface zoom setting.
The default browser notification will no longer disrupt the UI layout.
Fixed a case where the webpage would gain an unintended margin on specific browser settings.

@HKayn Is there any way to make this work with the Window panel instead of Tabs?

HKayn

@JoaoPauloS This is on the roadmap and will be properly supported in the future.

Until then, you can make it work by doing the following:

Make sure that your panels don't float and are on the same side as your tab bar.
Apply the following piece of additional CSS to Vivaldi:

#main > .inner > :has(#tabs-tabbar-container) {
    width: 0;
}

@HKayn I never used vivaldi before, downloaded it just to try out this mod, and it's exactly what I needed! Thank you!

HKayn

@BirkaVZ Glad to hear you enjoy it!

How did you find out about Vivaldi VH, if I may ask?

BirkaVZ

@HKayn I saw a video about the arc browser that has similar ui, but it's for mac only, so I started looking, checked out this forum and found this post.

It makes sense to me to move the whole ui to the side since almost all webpages are designed with legacy aspect ratios in mind, or scale to anything anyway.

Just in time for Vivaldi 6.0, version 1.2 of Vivaldi VH is now available!

With this version, the title bar is no longer required to activate the Pillar layout. Additionally, you can now use toolbar linebreaks for more control over how toolbar components spread across the address bar and status bar.

Thanks for this, I'm really liking the mod so far. I like to use a pretty narrow sidebar, and that makes the URL on the address bar pretty much useless. I wonder if the URL bar could take "multiple rows" and word wrap?

Hi! Thanks for the best mod!
I really like this!

I addressed the problem where certain colors indicating selection were not displayed when multiple tabs were chosen. This has been resolved as follows.

Before:

:root:has(#browser:is(.tabs-left, .tabs-right):is(.address-top, .address-bottom)) #browser #header,
:root:has(#browser:is(.tabs-left, .tabs-right):is(.address-top, .address-bottom)) #browser #main,
:root:has(#browser:is(.tabs-left, .tabs-right):is(.address-top, .address-bottom)) #browser #main .mainbar,
:root:has(#browser:is(.tabs-left, .tabs-right):is(.address-top, .address-bottom)) #browser #main .inner {
  display: contents;
}

After:

:root:has(#browser:is(.tabs-left, .tabs-right):is(.address-top, .address-bottom)) #browser #header,
:root:has(#browser:is(.tabs-left, .tabs-right):is(.address-top, .address-bottom)) #browser #main,
:root:has(#browser:is(.tabs-left, .tabs-right):is(.address-top, .address-bottom)) #browser #main .mainbar,
:root:has(#browser:is(.tabs-left, .tabs-right):is(.address-top, .address-bottom)) #browser #main .inner:not(rect) {  // Modified. Specify a non-rectangle to represent the selection.
  display: contents;
}

Apologies for forgetting to check in here!

Vivaldi VH is now on version 1.2.2, which fixes several small issues, most notably one where the Vivaldi button could appear misplaced after Vivaldi 6.2. Read more: https://github.com/HKayn/vivaldi-vh/releases/tag/v1.2.2

I'm currently working on version 1.3.0, which will include some larger changes. Development is public on the main branch of my GitHub repo, so anyone who can't wait may clone the repo and compile it themselves to test v1.3.0 early.

HKayn

@ppgm Thank you for the kind words!

And thanks for reporting this bug! A fix for this is already on my main branch on GitHub and will be released with version 1.3.0.

By the way, I've checked out your blog and your custom theme looks great!

HKayn

@ITN007 Word wrap inside the URL bar might work, but there would be many design aspects to consider.

Where do you place the buttons in the URL bar once the text starts wrapping? And are these placements feasible with a CSS-only mod?

I might take this on in the far future, but no promises.

Out of curiosity, how much did the extending URL bar help with viewing long URLs, if at all?

Version 1.3 of Vivaldi VH is now available!

This release changes some default behaviors of Vivaldi VH, enables resizing of the search field and fixes a lot of bugs.

Most importantly, the panel will no longer be inside the Pillar by default. More info on why this change was made can be found in the full changelog. Rest assured that you are able to revert this change.

Next up on the roadmap: The ability to replace the tab bar with the Window panel.

Version 1.4 of Vivaldi VH is now available!

This release introduces the heavily requested ability to forego the tab bar in favor of the Window panel. When you disable the tab bar, the panel will be automatically positioned in its place inside the Pillar.

v1.4 also introduces several other changes to make Vivaldi VH more flexible. Most notably, you can now set the title bar to span the entire window width, ensuring that the window buttons are always where you expect them to be.

This version also marks the first release of a second edition of Vivaldi VH: The VivalArc Edition! This is a slightly modified edition of Vivaldi VH that is designed to be used in combination with VivalArc, a CSS modification by tovi for Vivaldi Browser that aims to mimic the aesthetics of Arc Browser.

This is on the roadmap, but I can make no promises as to when this will be implemented!

Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I just started using Vivaldi and this has, by far, been the most useful mod; even more so with the address bar change you recently made. Thanks again!
