Stuff for Vivaldi Browser, Bringing together various gists into a repo

Vivaldi now has built-in support for CSS mods, so you can install them more easily.

1. Turn on the option at vivaldi://experiments
2. Select a folder in Settings > Appearance
3. Drop all your css mods into that folder

1. Find the file called config.json, with the following inside it:

{
    "application_path": "C:\\Program Files\\Vivaldi\\Application",
    "mods": [
        "betterNotes.css",
        "betterNotes.js",
        "always_small_tab_audio.css",
        "autoSaveSessions.js",
        "bluescreen.css"
    ],
    "mod_dependencies": [
        "betterNotesEditor.css",
        "betterNotesEditor.html",
        "betterNotesEditor.js",
        "betterNotesEditor.png"
    ],
    "page_actions": [
        "Image_Chequerboard.css"
    ],
    "splash_fg": "#ee77d9",
    "splash_bg": "#444"
}

2. Make sure to set the values as you require them:

   • application_path should point to where your vivaldi is installed.
     • Windows Users Point to the folder with all the versions in it, start with drive label and use back slashes: X:\\Path\\To\\Vivaldi. the modder script will auto-detect the numbered folder so you don't need to type it out
     • Linux Users Point to the folder where vivaldi is installed, start with root dir and use forward slashes: /path/to/vivaldi
     • MacOS Users Point to the Vivaldi framework directory: /Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/Frameworks/Vivaldi Framework.framework/ (the path must be surrounded by quotation marks or the space escaped).
   • mods is a list of css or js files that need to be added to browser.html. These will be added in the order that you specify, which is important for CSS mods that have cascading rules
   • mod_dependencies is a list of any additional files you need to add in order to use your mods, but that you don't want to add to the actual browser. You won't need these except for very complex mods
   • page_actions is a list of page actions you want to add
   • splash_fg is a hex colour value for the splash screen's icon
   • splash_bg is a hex colour value for the splash screen's background

3. Run the command python3 custom.py -i config.json - Note that if you need admin permission to write to the Vivaldi directory, this script also requires it

4. Restart vivaldi if it was open

By default, the mod will combine all css files into a single stylesheet. If you would prefer not to do this, use the additional -c argument when running the script.

• Run the command python3 custom.py -u config.json - this will remove all mods and page actions
• Alternatively, you can keep multiple json files, and when you install a different one, it will remove any changes and only keep the ones you specify

There are some speed dial thumbnails in the thumbs folder.

This can be used to run different copies of Vivaldi simultaneously by using different user data directories. Regular profiles as set within Vivaldi can't be run concurrently, but user data dirs can.

1. Run the vivaldiprof.cmd script
2. Enter the name of a profile to use
3. Press enter
