demo-1

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

The biggest change in v1.3.0 is that the panel is no longer incorporated into the Pillar by default, in order to harmonize better with default settings on a new browser profile. Rest assured that this can be reverted using a newly added Command Chain Flag. More information on why this change was made can be found in the full changelog.

Version: 1.3.0
Target Vivaldi Browser versions: 6.2

Changes:

  • The panel is no longer incorporated into the Pillar by default.
  • The Command Chain Flag vvh-enable-panel-in-pillar is now available, which restores the previous panel behaviour.
  • The search field can now be resized, and will no longer extend on focus by default.
  • Borders have been added, some of which were erroneously missing, to distinguish different parts of the UI, such as the address bar and bookmarks bar.

Fixes:

  • Fixed the margins on the Mail Search toolbar component.
  • The selection indicator on the current tab is no longer invisible. Thanks ppgm for reporting this!
  • When the menu button is located in the address bar and the chosen Menu Icon Style is "Menu Icon", it will no longer take up more space than necessary.
  • Cleaned up margins of the menu button in the address bar.
  • Fixed cases of visual artifacts on a transparent tab bar.
  • Fixed a case where the panel wouldn't cover the address bar correctly.
  • Fixed cases where an address field or search field inside the panel would disappear if clicked on.

Known Issues:

  • When the panel does not touch the left or right window edge, panel resizing will behave weirdly, but still be fully functional.
  • When the panel does not touch the left or right window edge, the "Add Web Panel" popup will be slightly misplaced, but still fully functional.
