@andrew84 Thank you! I apologize for the misunderstanding.

The more I have to look at the redesigned Start Page, the more I dislike it. It's just so pastel-ridden and so damn "girly-looking" in its fussiness. Things that looked and worked just fine have been screwed around with for no discernible reason other than that someone wanted to change the "decor." Opera is supposed to be a browser for grown-up computer users, not frustrated interior decorators.

I'm going back to Opera Beta until someone with good sense takes charge at headquarters. When that goes pastel, then it's back to Stable. Then goodbye.

@pclaudel1 But I don't see here any changes, excepting the semi-transparent background for add a site and edit tiles popups.
Issues described above are just bugs, which are result of poor testing.

@andrew84 Until a few weeks ago, the look in the attached image was nonexistent. Prior to then, what a tile represented was immediately obvious. Now, except for a single image in the second row, it looks like wallpaper for a teenage girl's room. Besides, as I wrote earlier, there are no longer any functioning context menus for editing tiles. This entire design is an insult to serious users.

@pclaudel1 you mean glow effect for the icon in the center and white tiles?
This is also a bug, I guess. From your example, i tried to add Imdb to my SD and the tile looks like previously.

I have the same issue with some my tiles, youtube for example. Looks normal in the heart menu popup, but looks broken on SD page.

*I think they broke the default solid tiles, which are shown by default. If I select other thumbnails in heart menu popup using arrows, then tiles looks different.
When I select the default tile in heart menu I can see some 'empty' or not found icon on SD page during seconds, then it shows the glowing icons in the center. I think that's the reason.

My guess is that it can't find the image and shows favicons instead

@pclaudel1 Just check (open) all your tiles-bookmarks. I'm pretty sure images on your tiles will be equal to favicons shown on tabs.

@leocg I thought to post here, since it concerns the specific page.
