        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...):
          alt text

          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:
          927ad1bc-064a-4f09-988e-b855e761e4cb-image.png
          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:
          c1ed1e0b-5097-4650-8184-95664e3d810c-image.png

          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:

              @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?

                            @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.

                                @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.

                                    @andrew84 Tabs shouldn't float, they should be attached. Go back to Opera 99 style. Get rid of the new age crap.

                                      @hucker don't actually do that though. It's preferable you switch to another browser instead

                                        Problems with window size and website scrolling. The developers did not make the Opera window full screen and now we have that the page scroll column (1 pic)on the side has a couple of pixels. Therefore, now, when we try to quickly move the mouse cursor to the side and drag the slider down, we pull the Opera window itself and drag it across the entire desktop. Bravo.
                                        And the second rounding of the page working area, are you serious(2 pic)? On some sites this garbage is killing books/numbers. I wonder if the development department that sits there is managed by a VERY effective manager?

                                          @darthgtb Why? I like Opera the way it was. The illegal MS style forced updates have been thwarted.

                                            I have been forced to update to the new Opera, and the new interface is unbearable, a lot of wasted space, on my small laptop it is unbearably uncomfortable, poorly implemented styles in some menus, and a long etcetera. Quick Access... For God's sake! What a fright...
                                            Much to my regret, I have my world set up in Opera, but if they don't fix this visual disaster, I will necessarily have to migrate to another browser. It will be painful, but more painful is having to endure this disastrous design.
                                            Question: Was it developed by interns?
