Instead of having to download and install a theme like with other browsers, you can now easily personalize your browser right from the settings menu. Themes do more than just making your user interface more unique – they can increase your work productivity if you know which colors your brain responds to best. While some people work better with a lighter look, others respond better to darker tones.
We recently did a poll on Twitter to see what people are using and we’re happy to see the fantastic response.
Which theme are you using in Vivaldi with the new customization options?

Along with that, many of you have sent us screenshots of your current setups and themes. Thank you! We love seeing what you do with it.
Here’s a collection of some of the tweets that have been sent to us over the last week and we hope you can draw some inspiration from them.
I commissioned @derptyme to draw a custom mascot for the @vivaldibrowser that I could use.
100% satisfied! Thanks! pic.twitter.com/niW9yAJTvK— PlayerSlotAvailable (@PlayerDOTexe) August 10, 2016
One theme that definitely caught our attention was this one from @PlayerDOTexe. The color-combinations fit together well and the cherry on top of the cake is the background with the Vivaldi logo. The custom thumbnails is also a nice touch. If you’re technical and want to try this out, here’s a tutorial on how to do it.

X-Men fan? @imoioi made a theme using the classic Wolverine costume colors. Who knew superhero costumes would fit so well into the browser world?

Our very own community member from France embraces the darker side of things with this setup with a touch of orange.
