Hi all, I added Vivaldi themes to the table!
Hi, nice job. But I am getting this error on the MacBook, Chrome Version 131.0.6778.265 (Official Build) (arm64)
Thank you for your feedback, I will have a look and get it fixed.
@ismailkayi I believe I found the issue. Could you please test these two and let me know if they work well for you ? Once you confirm, I can roll out the same change for other Oracular Oriole themes.
Thank you for confirming this!
Turns out, this issue does not come up when testing with the local packages, and google does not warn me at all while uploading, but there is a hard resolution cap at 2650x1440 on those NTP (Next Tab Picture).
I’ll change all the other Oracular Oriole themes accordingly.
Hey @ilvipero,
I saw my Warty Remastered wallpaper for Chrome and Vivaldi it’s actually really cool.
Did you know that wallpaper is in 8K resolution?
I am glad you liked the themes, those images are gorgeous, and deserve to be cross-platforms
I had to resize wallpapers to 2560x1440 due to limitations with both Chrome and Vivaldi extension stores. Used locally, those work at any resolution I want though. Oh well…
Hello @ilvipero,
Since Ubuntu has Mozilla Firefox included since 4.10 and 21.10 when it comes to a snap version (Replacing a DEB version), I just want to know if you’re willing to add those themes for Mozilla Firefox as an extension like on Google Chrome and Vivaldi.
If so, here’s how to do this for Firefox as an extension theme unless if you know how this works.
Unfortunately, customized background for a main page of Firefox cannot be uploaded, but it’s possible to make one manually and it’s customized top-bar background can still be uploaded at least.
I would like to submit themes for Firefox but since it does not support NTP (New Tab Picture) feature, it would be really missing the spirit of these themes, which is to bring Ubuntu wallpapers to the browser. This is especially nice for people that cannot use Ubuntu on their device.
If you are willing to open a feature request to Firefox to allow NTP on Firefox themes, I will be happy to +1. And if they include that feature, I can commit to making themes for Firefox as well.
I’ve seen somewhere that this possibility will arrive, but I’m not sure where or when. I saw some images and someone bragging about this feature.
@jofazepa may be on to something. There is a so-called NTP layout that has been progressively rolled out since 134.0.
There are two versions. You can control whether or not they are enabled with the following in about:config
:
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-a
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-b
but is that really what you’re looking for?
I know. I wasn’t clear. I meant to upload to the New Tab of firefox your own background image. Now you can only pick from the ones available. Thanks
