Thanks, although that doesn't work when it's started from a link in say an email program. I guess I can change it in Windows somewhere, but it's not as easy as it used to be where you could put the parameters on the end for file types. Now they've made it all childish and you just get applications in a list.

Opera used to be a tidy browser, more tidy than Edge/Chrome ... now, with new look, make the "performance" to look worse than Edge, the top zone (tabs + address bar) is thicker than Edge ....

You ruine Opera browser piece by piece !

The tabs should be connected to the page..not over a valley and thru the woods to get to the other tab.
It,s so messy when you are going from Tab to Tab that you have to look over 2 rows of buttons and bookmarks..to switch tabs. It's visually messy and slows the user down. What jerk programmer thinks that is efficient or looks good?

Please allow the user to design their toolbars. I dont know why all these browser would put the tabs at the top? The content of the tab should be connected to the pages...which is on the bottom part of the browser.

Also,, having your bookmarks (or the option to) wrap so that you have access to a second or third row.

This way I can see all my bookmarks on 3 rows.

There are just too many things that changed simultaneously. At least there should exist Opera One theme that looks exactly as the version of previous version.

I think the new modular design creates a lot of visual clutter and, for people who have a hard time focusing and being organized, it can really be an impediment.
I don't think the messenger apps need a square around them, nor do I think the search bar and the bookmarks bar need to be separate.
I think opera could benefit from a design similar to Sidekick. Opera has, definitely better features, but a simple design goes a long way.

Hello,

So it's been a couple weeks since Opera had a big UI update, and now there's a 4 pixel thick border around the content inside the window being extremely annoying. I'd like to know how to get rid of it and from what I've been finding online, it doesn't seem to be possible? It feels like the Opera team is trying to make their browser worse on purpose somehow? I don't get who in their right mind thought this would be a good idea. To clarify, this is what I'm talking about (it even hides part of the scrollbar, just why...):

Also, it's not possible to close the window anymore by dragging your mouse to the top right corner of your screen because there's another annoying extra border on top of the window for whatever reason:

That's practically a default design by Microsoft since they released their OS, and to suddenly change a behavior like that for a border is beyond me... There's a reason Microsoft designed windows that way: it's practical.

Similarly, you can no longer resize the windows from the top border:

That's yet again another Windows feature that's been removed because of this border. This whole new UI is absurd and really frustrating for a user like me. Please conform yourselves with the other Windows applications and stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

I could probably fix all those issues with a custom UI, but I'd rather complain here a bit in hopes you guys fix those problems and future users won't have to suffer or drop the browser entirely for something so silly.

Thank you and please have a nice day.

And in this "new" design, everything is crooked:

"Nice" huh ... chinese thing !!!

@flaviu2 sorry, what Chinese thing?

I legit don't know what you want to show in that screen shot. If it's the misplacement of the Opera menu header, you clearly have an update there. Maybe update the browser before reporting a bug. That one was also already fixed

Yes, you were right, I had an older version. The updated version is better, and, if they make it thinner the tabs+address bar area, this browser will not look bad. But I doubt they will listen to us.

I mean Chinese cheap bad thing. Look how Opera "One" has everything rounded ... its not tidy nor nice. Like a Chinese cheap not reliable thing.

@flaviu2 I see. You are referring to Opera as something that's low quality, like a Chinese knock off product.

It's not that bad, honestly. Their mistake was to do the rebranding on version 100. They wanted to have a nice round version number to make it memorable and that meant they were pressed by time, delivering a product that wasn't well tested yet.

Nobody remembers without checking out when was the change to using a fork from Chromium, if version 12, 13 or 14, but everyone will easily remember version 100 as when they rebranded the browser to Opera One, which is honestly irrelevant.

I for one don't mind the redesign. I noticed Edge and Chrome did the same with the rounded edges recently. During versions 101 and 102, I stopped using Opera due to the sheer amount of bugs, but 103 is bearable and I'm back using it.

The one redesign I don't like is Speed Dial. The tiles got smaller since v100 and since v103 the tiles bounce a couple times before actually triggering the click. Now, that is annoying.

I agree with few things you said. And another one: its confusing to have address bar splitted so much by tabs, I cannot associate the view with tab. But I don't think they will do something about it.

@flaviu2 what do you mean? Would you rather have one window for each page like it used to be in the 90's?

No, just to connect (visual) the active tab with address bar.
P.S. Was an irony?

[DarthGTB]

DarthGTB @flaviu2 last edited by

@flaviu2 it wasn't irony. I still don't understand what you mean. The selected tab is clearly the one showing the page up

Unless you are colour blind, which would explain you not seeing the highlight. Version 104 made the highlight too dim

@darthgtb maybe he means that tabs are like 'islands' or buttons now. Previously an active tab was like a part of the address bar.

*I'd also prefer the previous style

[DarthGTB]

DarthGTB @andrew84 last edited by DarthGTB

@andrew84 Ah, I see

Maybe it could be possible with the islands. Like, make the whole island also connect like that, but with a different colour and the selected tab with the same colour. If it's not the selected island, let the island look like they do now, floating

I agree, that could make it more visually pleasing.

@darthgtb I don't think that smth. will be changed regarding this style.

I don't understand why there should be so big gapes above and below the tabs. Tab's height should equal tab island's height. And inside tab island the tab can be slimmer. https://forums.opera.com/post/323532

I don't understand why I have to suffer even if I don't use tab islands at all.
