Hi, search for "compact" in the settings search field.Cheers, mib
Simply why was it changed at all? It was perfectly fine the way it was. Txt not too small or too large. Increase the text make it and the context menu box look out of place. Someone was not thinking.

I like the new menus very much and this was not a decision of the Vivaldi team, the menus are Chromium code.
This setting will not last, the Chromium developer will remove the old menu code at some point.
The Vivaldi team need to write the complete menu code from scratch to make it editable, for example.Cheers, mib

The new menu is a JOKE. The design maybe Chromiums but the decisions to have that setting unchecked and not inform the enduses were Vivaldi's.

Not to mention the rounded corners, gross.

@SkyBorg
This setting is only a workaround, the next Chromium update can remove the flag the setting use.
This should never be a default setting.
I stop posting here now, it will not change. -

Hi everyone,
My favorites menus just got bigger and wider all of a sudden. Is this something I can revert back to the old look?
Using 6.7.3329.17 here.
Thanks

@DoctorG
That did it. Thank you very much! -
I guess we will have to hope someone figures out how the HACK the font for the context menu. Bigger is not always better, and this is one of those cases that proves that.
-
@mib2berlin I'll look for such an extension. I want to run it on my bookmarks. Have you got a favorite?

The update to V6.7 brought other browsers touchscreen UI with it. There is a compact menu option I found but that doesn't fix other UI elements such as the close all windows dialog box.
Is there anyway to disable this UI garbage? Where is the proper place to give feedback to Vivaldi to not continue like this? I thought I finally found a browser that wasn't going to pull this garbage but here we are.

@BunxBun It has been forced on us by the underlying Chromium code changes. The compact layout setting is just a temporary quick fix.
Complain to Chrome; it is not Vivaldi who did this, though touchpad users may prefer the wider spacing.

What i'm getting from this whole thing is that the Vivaldi team has literally no control over their "own" browser, if you can call it that. It's been made perfectly clear that Google dictates how everything should look, work and feel. Such a shame.

@MineBill Vivaldi built its own UI over the Chromium code, precisely to allow more control and customisation. However, they still have little control over the underlying code.
It is hard to fix a change like this because the Chromium code needs to be fixed by Vivaldi and maintained with each update of the underlying code.

Hi,
You have very few information about how this works.Aside from Pesala's, learn about to understand it by reading the Blog and previous topics like

Are you talking about the new window menus in Vivaldi 6.7? I see a weird change in style and text in the menubar and also when I right click on my tabbar. I assumed it was some kind of bug?
-
Never mind, I've already found a fix:

Not even remotely accurate. Plenty of code from Chromium Vivaldi has not included to protect privacy alone. Then see @Pesala post right after yours.

That's not a good argument though, Vivaldi is here the end-product, so all complaints should and naturally go towards it, Vivaldi has the "obligation" to fix its problems if it wants to continue offering its distinct, defined concept and language. Otherwise the picture is not good as clearly shown in this thread and elsewhere.
