How do I get the old look back? Do I have to downgrade?

The animation when switching workspaces is indeed terrible. Also there's another thing that annoyed me: the scroll bar doesn't touch the side of the screen. So you can't access it just throwing the mouse all the way to the right.

@burnout426 The thing is, if you turn workspaces off and then back on, it remembers the workspaces and they just reappear, so why it shifts all the tabs is an odd behaviour, why not just remember the tabs in those workspaces? A single accidental click on the workspaces toggle makes a terrible mess when you have tabs totalling in the hundreds.

Yes, another issue with this stupid bubble look and the borders around everything. Too many phone-addicted kids on the programming team, maybe?

Same when throwing mouse all the way to left - you can't scroll page with mouse wheel then.
Then, if you have some site displayed in dark colors, then you see idiotic gray border around the O window. In earlier dev versions this border was even present in full-screen mode, fortunately this has corrected.
Also in earlier versions you could not switch tabs at the top border of screen, this also is corrected.This bubble look and and permanent gray borders is IMO one of worst usability downgrades in last years of Opera history. Seems that Opera devs do never use Opera in maximised mode on desktop.

I got one feature back which is hide the sidebar, so that's what I use when throwing the mouse all the way to the left. Was it the case that you could use the mouse wheel even with this feature active? That would be awesome, there's no reason to kill the mouse wheel on the borders.

@rob-b So I get the animation on Mac and my Windows Laptop, but on my desktop machine at work the worspaces just switch as they used to with no animation.
Interesting. Mine is a desktop. Win 10 (that might be relevant).
I wonder what's different?

@meeker-morgan I don't know, because the main version I use was just a standard upgrade. I thought maybe it was to do with using a standalone version (USB), but I checked and that's not the case. I've had several different installations on the one machine, and the USB one is not the one I use, and I've disabled the upgrade on that.
It may be because I've had different versions installed (because I fiddle), and that's causing some confusion. The only other thing I can think of is that because I don't have administrator rights on my work desktop the installation is only for current user, whereas my home computers I am the administrator; though I don't see why that should make a difference as all are just the result of the standard upgrading process.
As I don't use workspaces the animation doesn't really bother me other than I now know it's there. It is a quirky design and I can see why it would be annoying; I suppose it makes it clear you are jumping from one space to another.

The rounded corner stuff really looks aged but I can tolerate it, even the dark purple bg color ... looks horrible but ok ... I really like that the active tab is now much better visible.
But the animation ... holy !@#$, It made me so angry that I had to open an account here to add my rant. And I'm still angry every time I see it. I'm not sure how long my heart can take this before I stop using Opera, seriously.
Please awesome Opera developers make an option to disable all animations. Every time they come up I'm getting angry and losing my train of thought. On a remote desktop it is even worse, it looks like Opera has seizures. Not only the workplace switcher, also the rest of the animations, the tooltips for example.
