Promo image for Vivaldi VH release v1.4.0

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.

v1.4.0 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.

Version: 1.4.0
Target Vivaldi Browser versions: 6.5

Changes:

  • The presence of the tab bar is no longer mandatory to activate Vivaldi VH if the panel is present. When the tab bar is missing, the panel will take its place inside the Pillar.
  • The presence of the address bar is no longer mandatory to activate Vivaldi VH.
  • The Command Chain Flag vvh-enable-titlebar-full-width is now available, which grows the title bar to take up the entire width of the browser window.
  • The Command Chain Utilities vvh-toggle-on and vvh-toggle-off are now available, which receive a special icon and hide themselves depending on the current activation state of Vivaldi VH.
  • At the top of the vivaldi-vh.css file, custom CSS properties are now exposed for the following settings:
    • minimum width of the Pillar
    • width of toolbar components that extend on focus (e.g. the address field)
  • The VivalArc Edition of Vivaldi VH is now available. This is an alternative distribution of Vivaldi VH designed to be compatible with the VivalArc CSS modification.

Fixes:

  • When page tiling is enabled, webpages will no longer have excessive padding.
  • Fixed the layout of the extensions toolbar component inside the panel.
