You’ll mainly see the background image on your Start Page, but by tweaking some settings you can make it visible on the Tab Bar and behind Panels as well.
Adjust the Panel transparency level, and toggle on Tab Bar and background tab transparency as you wish. In addition, you can apply a blur effect to the background image.

Customize Vivaldi Social’s user interface to your liking with a new theme.
At Vivaldi, we provide you with plenty of options to customize your environment according to your preferences. Both in the browser and on our web services. On Vivaldi Social, we offer you 10 different theme variations to choose from.
Create a schedule to change Themes automatically throughout the day.
Whether just for some variety or to give subtle hints about the time to yourself, you can make your Vivaldi browser on desktop switch the themes automatically according to your set schedule.
Create a copy of a theme and edit that, instead of changing the original.
Themes in the Vivaldi Browser allow you to make the browser more personal. Though there are many default themes to choose from and a huge selection on themes.vivaldi.net, the one you like might be missing that final touch that makes it perfect for you. But instead of updating the original theme, create a copy of it and update the copy. That way you can go back to the original theme or use it again to create another theme.
Download Custom Icons for your browser from Vivaldi Themes.
Using Custom Icons with your browser theme, allows you to take the uniqueness of your Vivaldi to yet another level.

Switch Workspaces with one click with the aid of Command Chains, Toolbar Editor and Custom Icons.
There are some unique ways you can use different Vivaldi features together to make the browser behave the way you want it. For example, with the help of Command Chains, Toolbar Editor and Custom Icons you can take Workspaces to the next level. Here’s how:
Step 1 – Create Command Chains for switching Workspaces.
Replace the placeholder command with “Switch to Workspace #”. The number corresponds to the order in which you created your Workspaces.
Create a chain for every workspace. In each chain, you can also add other commands that will be executed at the same time. For example, add the command “Switch to theme” to make workspaces visually more different.
Light up your surroundings in Vivaldi Theme colors with Philips Hue.
Do you use Philips Hue lights at home? Did you know that you can connect them to Vivaldi and have the lights change colors together with Vivaldi Themes?
To connect Philips Hue with Vivaldi:
First, make sure your Hue lights are connected to the same network as the browser.
Then, go to Settings > Themes > Philips Hue Theme Integration and tick the box for Enable Hue.
Once enabled, click on Find bridge and click the button on your Bridge to confirm the connection.
The lights will be in the theme’s accent color. The color show will be more noticeable, if you have Accent Color from Active Page or Theme Scheduling with frequent switches enabled.
Don’t have Philips Hue lights, but do use Razer Chroma devices? Check Tip #183, to see how to link Razer Chroma and Vivaldi.

Decrease Accent Color Saturation in Theme settings for a more pastel look on the browser interface.
Vivaldi Theme settings allow you to display your chosen color or a color of the active page on the Tab Bar or Navigation Bar (depends on your Color Overrides settings). While your chosen color is most likely perfect, colors from active pages can sometimes be too bright. If the vivid colors become too distracting, you can fix that in Theme settings.
Share your custom browser theme with the community on themes.vivaldi.net.
Creativity has no limits and with the Themes editor in Vivaldi, you can let it run wild. Change the colors, add a custom background, tweak the settings and you have yourself a custom theme.

Themes.vivaldi.net is the place where Vivaldi users can share their creations with the community and already over 3000 themes have been published on the website.
Here’s how you can share your theme:
Go to Settings > Themes > Library and select the theme you want to share.

When you’re ready, click Create theme.
Vivaldi Team will review your theme and publish it. You’ll be notified once the theme has been published (also, when for some reason, the theme was rejected).
