Still don't get the idea of how the modules are visually presented..
Why do I need these bold borders and spaces around and between elements?
The current representation could be as an option in the form of theme or like interface tuning similar to Vivaldi's 'corner rounding' themes editing option. But not forced as the main design.

Where did the item Increase the size of tiles on the Speed Dial disappear?

@tastodd It was removed in the previous build.

@leocg It seems they don't learn from their mistakes. The option was implemented after multiple complaints after reborn3 release where the SD tiles size was decreased.
Unless they are planning smth. valuable regarding the start page customization, there will be a bunch of complaints again.

@ocirnes I can confirm the bug. I tried new Opera on Win 10 PC.

During the short time I checked Opera One on borrowed Win 10 PC I understood that the new 'reborned' version is not for me at all.

Without taking into account multiple visual bugs and caught crash during this short period, the interface is totally spoiled after it was more or less fine (excepting menus) and tuned after corrections in 'Reborn3'.

The continuous borders around modules, especially when sidebar and bookmarks bar are enabled, look just ugly to me. Along with the border around opened web page (I'm not a sailor or aircraft pilot to like the 'porthole' windows). So maybe most of users will like the 'bubble' design, but I won't.

Did they mention anything about the ability to name tab islands?

@nashuim If and when they add that feature, it certainly will be mentioned in the release post.

Will this new browser, when it enters a stable phase, replace the existing browser? or will it be something else, on the side?

@adam1709 It's not a new browser, it's regular Opera.

@leocg So new look/logo? or not

@adam1709 that got me as well. It's a rebranding of sorts. It's the same browser with a new name. It's kinda weird because even the bigger, fundamental change from Presto engine to Chromium back in Opera 12 or 13 didn't grant a rebranding like this...

Still, I think this time, if modularity for them means the same as it means for me, this change will actually open the opportunity for more features to come instead of less features like what happened back then.

To be honest though, Opera back then was like a bazooka for killing ants for most people... The possibility of stripping it of features and letting people install extensions made for other browsers was indeed a good idea, looking back to it...

@adam1709 new look, yes. Logo, I didn't pay much attention, but I think not. I hope not. Or if yes, just a little bit... I like Opera's logo

Anyway, here is a screenshot from their page:

@andrew84 I agree. There should be a Compact checkbox in the theming choice menu:

• Off
  • Basically current Opera One UI
  • Default option
• On
  • Less wasted space
  • No rounded borders (like just a pixel or two wide line, sort of what it's in the current stable channel Opera)
  • Thinner tab bar
  • Thinner sidebar
  • Etc.

@adam1709 I mean that it's not a separate browser like Opera GX or Opera Crypto. It's regular Opera with a new UI, new features. etc.

The context menu in the address bar of the browser is overlaid with tooltips.
The mouse cursor disappears in the browser if you switch between multiple windows (at least, when Opera is running Youtube)
