[Opera Desktop] - Panels

I miss so many things from the old Opera browser, but I guess my favorite features was panels (and the possibility to show your tab bar on the side of the screen...)

I have an 16x10 display and when I'm surfing the web at home, I'm usually just doing that. I don't have another window opened that I want to arrange side by side with Opera. (It's a different story when I'm at work, but I can't use Opera at work anyway)
Because a usual website only uses about 50% of my available screen space, I loved the Opera features that actually made perfect use of the additional screen space:
-Having panels as a side bar (especially for showing information about downloads)
-Show tabs on the side as thumbnails

This is nothing an extension could solve in a way Opera 12 did.
(Having panels back would even blend in great with the additional extension availability, if it would be possible to have a panel page for each extension...)
The thumbnails in the folders should show the first 4 pages.

Hello, first, your Speed Dial is awesome, I love it. But I see a design problem that I think it should be addressed. You see, the page thumbnails that are showed in the folders show the last 4 pages that are inside that folder.
I think that now only these thumbnails helps the user to identify the content of those folders, but also the way the are sorted help they to find and open the pages that they find more important. These folders should show the first 4 pages instead, because the user usually sorts the most important pages first, and therefore they represent the general content of that folder.
I hope you consider my suggestion; thank you.>

For me, it's not so much the thumbnail pictures in a folder that are critical to knowing what's in it, but the title/caption I give to the folder. And I suppose if for a particular folder, you want the right thumbnail to show, you could always delete a link/thumbnail and then put it in again. Then it will show up last.

Sorry for my poor English...
Yes i was speaking about subfolders
I am using the top bookmark but it is limited in quantity and useful for the most visited sites.
Therefore the main issue is to reintroduce also the side bar favorite- which give you a comprehensive look at all your folder very quickly
Also why isn't possible to introduce directly a new site in speed dial directly in the correct folder ?
1- I have to add a new site in the speed dial
2- once done to grab and drag it to the correct folder

Just go into the menu and adjust the zoom to something above 100% that you are comfortable with, for what ever size screen and distance you are viewing the pages on/from.
Don't you think the name "Next" is confusing?

It would be good, but only as as an option. Even if it is enabled by default.

"1" and "2" keys in the numeric keypad not working for switching tabs
Enable the advanced keyboard shortcuts in the settings.
Thanks, but I already have that enabled. The issue is in 21 that only works on the alphanumeric number keys above the qwerty keys, not the numeric keypad on the right. On 12.17 you can use either.
Have you filed a bug report?

No, as I didn't really consider it a "bug" as technically the key codes are different.

I really never used it. But i have nothing against it.
What about adding some convenient features for the users?

well thats why i want to have control i like any colour but white i dont like it. and you like white. if we would have full control over themes you could make it more white and i could make it red, blue, black or green and also i should have change color of text so if i choose black i can set text color to white like this.
no i am not really talking about toolbars i just want more control on theme so it could have much more personal interface. if i would want to make a red theme i cannot because half of the browser always white i dont like it.

Opera 14 never existed. 15 was the first Chromium (Blink) based version of Opera.

OCSP works until it is needed. See in https://www.imperialviolet.org/2012/02/05/crlsets.html the comparison to the seat-belt. A hacker which can do a MITM attack (the main reason to have certificates), can block access to the OCSP server in all important cases. Thus without a warning that the OCSP server isn't reachable, OCSP is completely useless because it fails exactly when it is needed (someone is attacking you).
