Snapshot 1.3.519.25 – Color picker for themes and more

Between summer games at our team outing in Magnolia we’ve been busy working on a new Snapshot build of Vivaldi. Read on to find out more!

With the whole team gathered in Magnolia for our “Summer Camp”, you might be thinking that it’s all fun and games. Actually, we’ve been quite busy preparing this latest snapshot. Among many fixes and improvements, we have three main features for you to enjoy: color picker for themes and new setting for tabs closing behaviour (and helpful animation to tab thumbnails too).

So before you run outside to enjoy the summer, please take a moment to download the snapshot and let us know what you think in the comments.

Color picker for themes

As a follow up to themes support, color picker was created to make it easier selecting your favorite colors.
