It's straightforward with Nemo; just go into the "View" menu and tick
the "Show hidden files" box. But what if there's no menu?
My pet hate with browsers is having the tabs above the address bar, and
no easy way to put them below it. With Firefox, it was fairly
straightforward with a userChrome.css file. However, with the increasing
tendency to write webpages specifically for Chrome, I have started using
Vivaldi as a backup browser. Although its GUI is very customisable, like
Fx there is no simple way of putting tabs below the address bar.
I recently found that it was possible to use a *.css file with Vivaldi
in the same way as with Fx to move the tab bar. The page
shows the script, and refers back to
for general
instructions on how to modify Vivaldi. This is the instruction list:
Adding Style (CSS)
- Open vivaldi://experiments
- Enable "Allow for using CSS modifications".
- Open Appearance section in settings.
- Under "Custom UI Modifications" choose the folder you want to use.
- Place your CSS files inside this folder.
- Restart Vivaldi to see them in effect.
The problem is with the "choose the folder you want to use". On clicking
the "Select folder" button, a partial Nemo-type GUI appears with a list
of all the folders in my Home folder. Well, not all - *none* of the
hidden folders appear, and Vivaldi is in the hidden .config folder! As
noted above, it would be easy to see the hidden files with Nemo, but the
GUI which Vivaldi opens has no menu items. So I took a chance and
checked with Nemo's "View" menu, and after ensuring the cursor was in
the Vivaldi GUI folder list, keyed Ctrl-H. I was relieved to see .config
folder appear, and it was then a simple matter to put the css file in
it. On starting Vivaldi, the tabs were below the address bar.
I hope that this is useful for anyone coming across a similar problem.
