Vivaldi 8.0

More than thirteen years in, and I am still as excited about building this browser as I was on day one. Maybe more. That excitement comes from a genuine belief that the people who use Vivaldi deserve a browser that takes them seriously. We respect your time, your privacy, your preferences, your intelligence. Every release we ship is another expression of that belief. Vivaldi 8.0 is the biggest expression of that idea we have shipped in years. A new design direction that makes the browser feel more alive and more unified than any version before it. 十三年过去了，我对开发这款浏览器的热情依然如初，甚至更胜以往。这种热情源于一个真诚的信念：Vivaldi 的用户理应拥有一款真正尊重他们的浏览器。我们尊重您的时间、隐私、偏好和智慧。我们发布的每一个版本都是这一信念的体现。Vivaldi 8.0 是我们多年来对这一理念最宏大的表达。全新的设计方向让浏览器比以往任何版本都更具活力、更加统一。

In other words: there is more control, more capability, more choice. And a brand new look. 换句话说：它带来了更多的控制权、更强的功能和更多的选择，以及焕然一新的外观。

A new look for a new era

新时代，新外观

With 8.0, Vivaldi has a new look. We call it “Unified”. We have approached the Vivaldi interface less as a collection of components, and more as a layered system. Previously, those layers (tabs, toolbars, panels and content) have had subtle separations. This was useful, but also a bit fragmented. With Unified, those boundaries are removed. 随着 8.0 版本的发布，Vivaldi 拥有了全新的外观，我们称之为“统一（Unified）”。我们不再将 Vivaldi 的界面视为组件的集合，而是将其视为一个分层系统。此前，这些层（标签页、工具栏、面板和内容）之间存在细微的间隔。这虽然实用，但也显得有些零散。而在“统一”设计中，这些界限被消除了。

All toolbars now live on a single, continuous surface: a Unified frame that wraps the entire browser. Instead of stacked regions, everything is composed within the same visual plane. That shift makes the interface feel more cohesive and easier to read. Alignment becomes more precise, spacing more intentional, and interaction more direct, because elements no longer sit in isolated layers. 现在，所有工具栏都位于一个连续的平面上：一个包裹整个浏览器的统一框架。不再是堆叠的区域，一切都组合在同一个视觉平面内。这种转变使界面感觉更加连贯，更易于阅读。对齐变得更加精确，间距更加考究，交互也更加直接，因为元素不再处于孤立的层中。

When you pick a theme, it flows through everything. A dark theme is dark, all the way through. A warm theme carries that warmth into every corner. All elements of the browser belong together in a way that immediately feels… well … Unified. 当您选择一个主题时，它会贯穿所有元素。深色主题会从头到尾保持深色，暖色主题会将温暖感带到每一个角落。浏览器中的所有元素以一种自然的方式融合在一起，让人感觉……嗯……确实“统一”了。

It also changes how themes work. With a single surface, your theme can flow across the entire window. Backgrounds are no longer confined; they can extend from the tab bar through panels and edges without interruption. Wallpapers feel less like decoration and more like part of the environment, especially when combined with translucency and blur. 这也改变了主题的工作方式。在单一平面下，您的主题可以流转于整个窗口。背景不再受限；它们可以从标签栏延伸到面板和边缘，中间没有任何中断。壁纸不再仅仅是装饰，更像是环境的一部分，尤其是结合了半透明和模糊效果时。

From a system perspective, this reduces complexity. Fewer layers, fewer exceptions and a more consistent foundation to build on. This isn’t about making the browser look simpler. It’s about making the structure behind it more coherent. This makes everything you see feel like part of the same system. 从系统角度来看，这降低了复杂性。更少的层级、更少的例外，以及更一致的构建基础。这并不是为了让浏览器看起来更简单，而是为了让其背后的结构更加连贯。这让您所看到的一切都感觉像是同一个系统的一部分。

Start exactly where you need to be

从您需要的地方开始

One of the things that makes Vivaldi special is also one of the things that can feel like a lot on day one: the sheer range of settings you can configure. If you have been using Vivaldi for years, you have your setup exactly as you want it and you would not trade it for anything. If you are brand new, figuring out where to start can be a real question. Vivaldi 8.0 answers it with six preset layouts, available right from onboarding (and from Settings → Appearance → Layout whenever you feel like a change). Vivaldi 的独特之处在于它拥有极其丰富的设置选项，但对于初次使用的用户来说，这可能会让人感到不知所措。如果您已经使用 Vivaldi 多年，您一定已经将其配置成了您最理想的样子，且不愿做出任何改变。但如果您是新用户，从哪里开始确实是个问题。Vivaldi 8.0 通过六种预设布局解决了这个问题，您可以在首次启动时直接选择（或者随时通过“设置 → 外观 → 布局”进行更改）。

Each one is a thoughtfully curated starting point. 每一种布局都是精心策划的起点。

Simple: Gives you a clean, focused experience: tabs on top, nothing in the way, everything ready to go. 简洁（Simple）：为您提供干净、专注的体验：标签页在顶部，没有任何干扰，一切准备就绪。
Classic: The Vivaldi you know and love. Toolbar, panels, all the controls in their natural places, now wearing the new Unified look. 经典（Classic）：您熟悉且喜爱的 Vivaldi。工具栏、面板和所有控件都在它们应有的位置，现在换上了全新的“统一”外观。
Vertical Right: Similar to our classic look, but for people who prefer to have their tabs on the right. 垂直右侧（Vertical Right）：类似于经典外观，但适合喜欢将标签页放在右侧的用户。
Vertical Left: Puts your tabs and address bar on the left side of the screen. Once you try this on a wide monitor, it tends to become permanent. 垂直左侧（Vertical Left）：将标签页和地址栏放在屏幕左侧。一旦您在宽屏显示器上尝试过这种布局，通常就再也回不去了。
Auto Hide: Built for users who want the web to fill their entire screen. Your toolbar, tab bar, panel, and address bar step aside while you read, watch, or work. 自动隐藏（Auto Hide）：专为希望网页填满整个屏幕的用户设计。当您阅读、观看或工作时，工具栏、标签栏、面板和地址栏会自动隐藏。
Bottom: Moves your tab bar and address bar to the bottom of the screen. Your eye travels down naturally as you read, and your navigation is already there waiting. 底部（Bottom）：将标签栏和地址栏移至屏幕底部。阅读时视线自然下移，导航栏就在那里等候。

Each of these layouts is a launchpad, not a limit. With all the powerful features and tools in Vivaldi, you have everything you need to make the web work exactly the way you want it to. 这些布局每一个都是一个起点，而非限制。凭借 Vivaldi 所有强大的功能和工具，您拥有了让网络按照您想要的方式运行所需的一切。
