Solved V 6.7 | Context Menu | Rollback Font / Size
-
@WontonWang There are several threads on this tooic already, but to save you searching ...
Settings > Appearance, in the menu section enable Compact layout
Be aware, this was a change made in Chromium to have more touch-friendly menus and as such the Compact layout option may disappear in the future.

Sorry, I missed the other threads. Thanks for your help!!!

@HealingCross67 Or maybe they are using the flag to disable the new UI by default.

@Hadden89 Because Opera is still on Chromium 123 that's why

@HealingCross67 Yes, you're right - the damned thing updated while I was checking the version and now it's on Chromium 124.0.6367.62 ...
No idea then, I guess they did something like Vivaldi has with the "Compact Menus" setting.
-
I was wondering is there somewhere where complaints about this change are collected, you know kinda like a petition to revert this change?
-
It's about time you used more Shortcuts, Mouse Gestures or Command Chains, instead of complaining about something that the Vivaldi Team is not to blame.
-
I really really don't like how the new menu looks (the flat-earth UXers strike again) and I hope the Vivaldi devs can find a way to revert to something resembling the previous look.
Anyway, I have checked Compact Layout and restarted the browser, and the menus still look the same. Anything else I can try?
6.7.3329.31 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) on Linux

Works fine here however, the menus are back to "normal", especially without the pointless fading animation. I have exactly the same version ATM:

I understand this big context menu is for touchscreen devices, like tablets, but the need to scroll through a context menu is rather a minor annoyance. I'd rather have cascade menus, or the context menu in multiple columns layout? A pop-up menu size itself shouldn't be an issue, because when it is shown, a user usually doesn't care what's behind it. The context menu could be as big as the entire screen, and it wouldn't be as issue as the need to scroll through a small menu, with only a handful of entries shown at once.
Thanks for the "compact layout" option, it really helps. -
Yeah, the compact setting no longer works apparently.
Using Nobara linux (Fedora), with the Flatpak version 6.7.3329.39 of Vivaldi, and compact appears to do nothing now
This is very irritating, and is the primary reason I originally eschewed Firefox a few years back and landed on Vivaldi.

@Sareth
Hi, it's still working for me, Vivaldi 6.7.3329.39 RPM package on Opensuse.
Did you restart Vivaldi?Cheers, mib
-
@mib2berlin I did, yep. Several times unfortunately to no avail.
Just rebooted into Win11 Pro and it's working fine still here, so it may be related to the linux build, or the flatpak version specifically. I'll have to do a bit more testing.

I hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come. I switched to Vivaldi to get AWAY from Google's bone-headed design decisions in Chrome after a few of them upset me too many times. Now they're coming for Vivaldi. Between this and the YouTube adblock issue, it seems like my reasons for choosing Vivaldi are vanishing. Unfortunately, Firefox seems to be no more suitable for me than it was when I first switched to Vivaldi in the first place (the use of Pocket in place of a reading list is the big complaint, but the way bookmarks opened with a middle click would open a new tab in the foreground instead of the background was also a deal-breaker).
I have to admit, I was very surprised to find out that Vivaldi did not fork Chromium, but now that I know, it does explain a few things. Features like tab groups and split tabs, which seemed like they would be very useful to me at first glance, instead ended up being things I never use because they feel very much grafted on to Chrome's tab functionality, and it painfully shows in the limitations of those features that made them impractical for me to use (split tabs only works on a set number, so it's only useful between two and only two tabs (fortunately, picture in picture covers for what I needed this for, at least a lot of the time; it doesn't work on as many sites as Firefox's); tab groups are an interface convenience that essentially change no functionality, so work best if the tabs in the group are relatively constant, and break down if you're frequently opening/closing them, so I can't use it for things like browsing forums or Reddit).

@mib2berlin thank you for helping people fight against evil

Menu spacing is huge on new update.
Settings and turn on that check box.
Here is the fix:
-
Looks like these round buttons back and there is no Customize Chrome Side Panel section in chrome options any longer
