When it comes to email, both Microsoft Outlook and classical composer Antonio Vivaldi have something in common: They both support rich text formatting. This means that you can add all sorts of formatting, including fonts, colors, and images, to your email messages. This feature is especially handy if you want to create a professional-looking email message. For example, you could use a font that’s different from the one that Outlook uses by default. Or you could add a background image to your message. If you’re new to rich text formatting in Outlook, there are a few things that you need to know. First, you need to select the text that you want to format. Then, click the Format tab on the ribbon and select the Text Formatting option from the list on the left side of the window. Next, click the Font button and select a font from the list on the right side of the window. You can also change other aspects of font appearance by clicking on the buttons next to Font Size and Font Style (for example, Bold or Italic). Finally, click on one of the icons next to Images or Colors in order to add an image or color scheme respectively. You can also use hyperlinks in your messages if you want people who receive them to be able to open up related files (such as documents or web pages) directly from your email message. ..
Vivaldi 5.5 is now rolling out, and the main new feature is a Tasks Panel that can be opened from the sidebar. It functions much like Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, or other basic task management systems. You can create and delete tasks, and assigning dates to them adds the tasks to the Vivaldi calendar, too. There are also options to add a location, description (with can include links), and reminders. Combined with the existing email, calendar, and RSS feed management, Vivaldi is now like Outlook or Thunderbird with a web browser bolted on. It’s also similar to Gmail, which has an optional Google Tasks sidebar on desktop.
There are a few other changes in Vivaldi 5.5, too. “Parts of the Address Field logic have been rewritten to improve speed,” according to the team’s blog post, and the browser now fully supports the upgraded window snapping in Windows 11 (just hover over the maximize button). There’s also an updated setup process for Vivaldi Mail that more closely mirrors other popular mail clients, where most of the configuration is automatically detected once you enter an email address.
If you don’t see the Tasks Panel in your Vivaldi browser after updating, make sure Mail, Calendar, and Feed Reader are enabled in the settings — the panel isn’t available in the barebones browser-only mode.
