Shine bright. Vivaldi 5.0 is here! Unapologetic about breaking conventions, we present the signature Vivaldi Themes in its new, powerful form. Now you can share Themes - a great way to unlock limitless possibilities for expressing yourself, every day.

Discover shareable Vivaldi Themes: a riot of colors and expression.

The browser's adaptive interface gives you flexibility from the ground up. And with customizable Themes, your browser's look can be uniquely yours. You can create Themes from scratch, tweak the defaults that come with Vivaldi, and even schedule them to change throughout the day.

But now there's more. Much more! Now you can share Themes. Color your online world with our new sharable Themes that let your creativity run wild.

We've worked extensively on Themes to make it more fresh, powerful, and dynamic:

Themes, including background image: You no longer have to edit your theme and background image separately. The updated Themes editor now includes the background image per theme.

Custom Themes, more upfront: ...
... To enable a Theme in your Settings, just click it to apply it to your browser instantly. Using the 'minus' button, you can delete Themes as you need. Just a note, you can only delete Themes that you've made or installed, not the ones that come with Vivaldi by default. Previews are also more accurate now, showing proper corner rounding and colors that match the theme to the hilt.

New Themes, easily discoverable: We have two new buttons at the bottom of the pre-installed list of Themes, with two intuitive actions. One is a shortcut to make your own new Theme, the second is the link to vivaldi.net, where you can download Themes created by other Vivaldi users.

Theme Editor, your new color playground: This is where you can let your imagination run wild. You can edit Colors, Settings and Background, helping you keep your browser looking fresh, just the way you like.

Settings and Themes - a perfect match: Now you have greater control over how you visualize and create your Themes. With multiple settings dedicated to every theme, it is possible to fine-tune adjustments on each one of them. We've also worked in rounded corners, tab bar transparency, and more.

Export, Import, Share and go "Wow!": Themes make it easy to bring out your personality, and colors are a great way to connect with people. That is why we now let you share Themes. You can import and export Themes from and to your friends and more, with the help of two new buttons - "Open theme" and "Export Theme" - at the bottom of the Theme Editor. Once happy with your Theme, simply click the Export button to generate a ZIP file. Share away!

Share, and even upload easily: The sky's the limit here. Of course, you can share themes directly with your friends, but you can also share them with an even wider world. Upload your themes to our brand-new Themes Gallery to share your creations!

Vivaldi Themes Gallery, a library of colors, thoughts, and creativity: On themes.vivaldi.net, you can browse a collection of themes made by Vivaldi and your fellow users. Install as many themes as you want just by clicking "Install theme" to add a theme to the library in your browser settings. Prefer not to install Themes from the web? A zip between friends works too. From Settings, the "Open Themes" button lets you open zipped themes from your local machine.

At Vivaldi, we like to go the extra mile. Check out all the new features at https://vivaldi.com/new/.

View downloads in a pop-out.

More options? Of course! We love them. By popular demand, we're adding another way to keep an eye on your downloads. While many users love working with panels (where Downloads have lived exclusively so far), we've had frequent requests to give an alternative way to present downloads. If that describes you, you're in luck. We now provide an option to see downloads in a pop-out. Better still, all the features you loved about viewing downloads in the panel are available in this new view.

The new Vivaldi 5.0 is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Get it now on desktop and notebooks.
