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.

@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!

@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. Check it out here: https://arc.tovi.fun

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!

Thank you updated!!

I just downloaded Vivaldi to try this as I'm a huge fan of Arcs UI. I'm really enjoying the Vival setup! The only thing this needs is a tree style tab system. Being able to nest groups keeps tabs tidy and organized.

Other options I'd like for more of a cleaner, modern look:
Resize icons for the address bar, bigger like arc
More horizontal spacing from the Tab Titles and Tab Icons
Remove the buttons on the address field - Blocking shield, RSS, bookmarks, etc. Occupies too much space and blocks the address
Remove the accordion stacking counter. It's ugly and unnecessary

Someone made an Arc Browser style css for Firefox. Here's the link with the code. It features a very handy autohide for tab bar and address bar.

Version 1.4.2 of Vivaldi VH is now available!

This new release fixes many bugs, some of which first appeared with the newest Vivaldi browser version 6.9.

This is also the first release that includes a separate addon for Vivaldi VH with one of the most requested features, which I'm calling Zen Mode! When you install this addon and add the Command Chain Flag vvh-enable-zen-mode to your toolbar, the Pillar and the panel will be hidden until you hover near the side edges of the browser window.

Please be aware that this addon is experimental. There are many known issues, some of which may make Zen Mode very annoying to use. Since this functionality was greatly demanded but is not quite there yet in terms of stability, it won't be incorporated into the main mod for the time being, but is instead available as a separate download for anyone who still wishes to try it out. However it still depends on Vivaldi VH, so both need to be installed in order to use Zen Mode. The CSS file contains a list of known issues. If you find any that aren't in this list, please report them!
