Tip #589

Choose the maximum number of widget columns for your Dashboard.

The same way you can decide how many Speed Dial columns you have on the Start Page when the browser window is large enough to fit a lot of them (see Tip #89), you can choose how many columns of widgets you have on the Dashboard.

To update the limit:

Option 1

  1. Click on “Show Start Page Settings” in the top right corner of the Start Page.
  2. In the Dashboard section, choose a number between 1-4 for “Maximum Columns”.

Option 2

  1. Go to Settings > Start Page > Dashboard.
  2. Choose a number between 1-4 for “Maximum Columns”.
Bottom right corner of Vivaldi browser's window showing Start Page settings. Drop-down menu with numbers from 1 to 4 is open for Dashboard's maximum column's setting.

Tip #584

Fill your Dashboard with useful widgets.

Latest emails, tasks, newest feed articles, most visited sites, favorite bookmarks, and more can be pulled into the all-in-one control center – the Dashboard.

To add a new widget:

  1. Go to the Dashboard.
  2. Click on “+ Add a Widget” at the bottom of the window.
  3. Click on the widget you want to add.

Some widgets, like Date and Tip of the Day, can be added to the Dashboard once, but most can be added multiple times. This allows you to display different content in each widget, such as different email accounts, calendars, bookmark folders, etc.
