Do you prefer to give the buttons on the toolbars plenty of breathing room, or do you want them packed together nice and snug next to each other? As with most things in Vivaldi, you’re in control and can decide what works best for you.
To change the UI density:
When you’re viewing multiple browser or app windows side by side, it can be difficult to see, which one you’ve focused on. Fading Vivaldi window’s colors when it’s not in focus helps to make it more obvious.
To enable background window color fading:
Is your quick reply email getting longer than expected or do you temporarily want to hide it altogether?
To resize the Quick Reply field:
In addition to individual Speed Dial bookmarks, you can add thumbnails to Speed Dial folders (see Tip #69).
To add a custom thumbnail image to a bookmark folder:
Option 1
Option 2
“Select Custom Thumbnail”.The recommended image size is 440×360px and most image formats, including animated GIFs, are supported.
Reverse image search is a great way to find similar images to the one you’re currently viewing. Just right-click on the picture and select “Search for image” (sometimes the option can be in the “Image” subfolder).
The results will be provided by your default image search engine, so pick the one you want to see results from.
To review your settings:
Bookmarks, Tabs, Passwords, Notes, History, etc. – you can easily access all of it and more in Vivaldi on all your devices when you use the Sync feature. But, whether you sync all data or just some of it, is up to you.
To sync selected data:
Do you often show things on the web to someone sitting next to you and discover yourself thinking that you’d prefer if they couldn’t see your previous searches, history, and more? A great solution for that is to disable the Address Field Drop-Down menu. That way, matching suggestions won’t be displayed as you type a search term or a link in the Address Field.
To disable the Address Field Drop-Down Menu:
You can set a time for the event by typing or using the date and time picker in the event editor. But a much cooler option is to click and drag to fill the timeslot in the calendar that the event is going to take up. When you release the mouse button, the event editor will open, allowing you to fill out the rest of the event’s details.
Give it a go!

When you’re writing a reply email, do you sometimes reassess and decide that instead of replying to just the sender you should send the email to all recipients or vice versa? Luckily, in Vivaldi Mail, you don’t need to discard the draft and start again.
To switch between Reply and Reply All:

To move the active tab:
Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + Page ↑.Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + Page ↓.You can also type “Move Active Tab Backward/Forward” in Quick Commands.
Through Settings > Appearance > Website Appearance, you can choose to display all websites in dark mode all the time. Even if a website hasn’t provided a dark option for their website, you can have Vivaldi create it for them by forcing dark mode to be used. But occasionally even dark mode lovers need to turn on the lights temporarily. That’s where shortcuts come in handy.
To toggle dark mode on and off with shortcuts:
For the following you first need to create the shortcut.
Use the newly created shortcuts whenever you want to switch between light and dark mode.
Web Panels show you the mobile view of a web page. Some websites show pages on mobile much differently than on desktop or don’t even let you use some of the site’s functionality. Don’t let this stop you! Simply click on the “Switch to Desktop/Mobile View” button at the top of the panel and get to the content you’re after.
