🚀 Quick Start

CSS Mods (Optional)

1. Go to vivaldi://experiments and enable Allow CSS modification flag
2. Put all the CSS files you want to apply in the applied-css-mods folder (only improved-extensions-dropdown-menu.css is included by default in this repo)
3. In Vivaldi settings search for Custom UI Modifications, and select the folder called applied-css-mods
4. Restart the browser

JavaScript Mods

1. If installing on windows then edit the script for your OS:

   • window_apply_mods.bat

2. Run the appropriate script for your OS:

   macOS

       sudo ./mac_apply_mods.sh
   

   Linux

   sudo ./linux_apply_mods.sh

   Windows

   ./window_apply_mods.bat

⚠️ Important: files cannot have spaces in filenames.

🔄 Auto-Apply Mods (Survives Updates)

Windows

Follow this AutoHotkey v2 guide to automatically apply mods when Vivaldi updates.

macOS

I'm using BetterTouchTool to monitor the following folders and run the mac_install_mods.sh script when changes are detected, but I'm sure there are other ways:

• The applied-js-mods/ folder
• Vivaldi installation paths:

  /Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/Frameworks/Vivaldi Framework.framework/Versions/Current/Vivaldi Framework
  /Applications/Vivaldi Snapshot.app/Contents/Frameworks/Vivaldi Framework.framework/Versions/Current/Vivaldi Framework
  

Linux

Hope someone can contribute a tested linux_auto_apply_instructions.md file.
