[Closed] How to revert to previous design, to get rid of rounded elements?

Hi all,

any idea how I can get rid of these rounded elements? And you don't only come across those in the "Confirm exit" context.

Over the last few days I realized how much they actually annoy me, as they do not fit in with the Cinnamon desktop environment (leaving aside that they also remind me of some other spying OS).

(1) These buttons used to be way more rectangular, if not fully.
(2) There are still rounded corners?! What am I doing wrong in the Theme Editor settings? (see below)

Settings > Themes > Editor > Settings > "Corner Rounding" -> lowered amount, incl. to fully disabled, BUT that does not seem to affect those elements shown in the above image.

*###### They are back. 20. June 2024 #####

Unfortunatley, like a zombie, these round buttons are back again.

Setting:

chrome://flags/#customize-chrome-side-panel

to 'Disabled' does not appear to be an option any more.
Does anybody know which dance we need to perform this time to get rid of them?

Enter this URL in the address bar:

In the Customize Chrome sidebar section, switch the drop-down menu on the right-hand side to Disabled
Restart Vivaldi

@stardepp
Great! Thank you very much. That did indeed solve (1).

(2) is not that grave, but I'll try to find out whether something could be done about it as well.

Yes https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/761280

You are going to need it anyway since you happen to be a heavy uBO user as well, so start preparing.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. What I do not understand though, why would uBlock Origin and/or Alphabet's cr***y manifest v3 have anything to do with the shapes of 'buttons'?

Seems as if a switch to LibreWolf or some other non Chromium-based browser will become inevitable for me, should Alphabet's changes worsen Vivaldi's usability, and I'm not just talking about the shapes of buttons, in such a way where the Vivaldi team couldn't do anything about, unless investing lots of resources to rewrite and remove said Google c**p.

P. S.: I just gave that linked to thread a more thorough look and ugh I can't say that I like what I read there. It seems that the Vivaldi's team decision to build upon a Chromium base now really backfired and users who sort of remained 'loyal' after the original Opera died post v12.x, are only left with the option to say goodbye to it. I'll miss the good tab management and the native mouse gestures.

@RogerWilco Speak for yourself. It’s all overreaction. For the time being ublock will continue to work and button shapes are purely cosmetic, a non‐issue. Former Opera users, who value an internet suite will continue to use Vivaldi. Inbuilt mail, RSS, quick commands, command chains, mouse gestures are hard to beat. If you only care about a single extension and don’t find use for the myriad of advanced features Vivaldi provides, what were you doing here in the first place?

I did not start this thread to talk about Google's Manifest v3, or uBlock Origin in particular, but to address a GUI element.
As Nietzsche nicely remarked: "All seeing is perspective.", so yes, I AM speaking for myself.
"overreaction" - see "2)" - all seeing is perspective. And your interpretations are just that, your's.
Please provide a source for that positive claim as to what (all / the majority of) "former Opera" users are going to do. Some independent and representative study or poll. Otherwise it's just words.
What I care (talking) about (on this thread)? Please, take another look at the thread's topic again.
And regarding the tone of your last sentence, please calm your horses.

@RogerWilco I didn’t like your tone either. You specifically mentioned that all former and loyal Opera users have no option than to say “goodbye.” This is the kind of nonsense you are writing in your own topic. That it’s off‐topic is fact and you started it. The things you are accusing me of, well… I act as your mirror in this unfortunate play; and not by accident.

I.) OK, I'll skip over the fact, as it's simply too obvious, that the original post on this thread was made to address GUI elements and that another forum member introduced Google's Manifest v3 and uBlock Origin to it. That may have escaped you.

II.) I actually don't like addressing it, as it, again, has nothing to do with the original focus of this thread, said simple GUI elements. Ever considered that users may have different priorities? That some changes were/are acceptable, whereas others are not? Some may be willing to accept inconveniences to preserve something else, which they value higher.

III.) Anyway, with regard to the original post and its focus, you don't seem to have anything helpful to offer and this thread is getting derailed by it (further).
But should you indeed have something helpful to contribute, please do. I do not want to derail this thread any further.

Have a nice day.

@RogerWilco The menus you don’t like are Chromium menus. Vivaldi doesn’t alter the menu theme. You had a Chromium flag workaround, but these are known to disappear. I bet there’s already a feature request up somewhere that asks the team to theme the menus. Upvote that. There’s nothing more you can do. Vivaldi won’t simply square these Chromium buttons for you.

Indeed. An old one with over 100 votes, but it is clearly not happening for a while. Tagged as NICE TO HAVE

If this had been a poll, okay, but as it wasn't, how does that relate to the initial post/questions therein?
Anyway, it would seem that currently there's no ad hoc solution to it.
