Floating panels – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1226.3

A fantastic new feature for today’s snapshot is one of our more frequent requests. Floating panels have finally arrived. We also found the time to fix 11 regressions!

Floating panels

Are you a regular panel user but find they take up too much space? Well then… I reckon you are about to love them even more. We have now added two new options under “Tools → Settings → Panel → Panel Options”. The “Floating Panel” option allows the panels to overlay the open website, rather than causing a page resize as you open and close it. In addition, you can enable “Auto-close Floating panel”. With this switched on, the panel will close itself as you move your mouse away from the panel area.

We are sure that many of you will love this workflow but if you prefer to keep your panels open and ready at all times, don’t worry, we aren’t planning on removing that possiblity. We are more interested in adding more options, rather than taking any away. 😉
