Transfer from GX to One

I really like the tab islands in Opera One and wish they were in GX but since they're not, I plan on using both GX and One for different things and I assumed that all my open tabs from GX as well as the hyperlinks on the home page, the wallpaper and the colour scheme but they weren't. I wish there was a quick way to transfer everything over at once since both are owned and made by the same company, I assume that would be possible.

This would make it easier for users to switch between either platform and make both more accessible to existing users.

@SuperFarter98 You can use Sync.

@leocg I did that. All of the things I listed in the suggestion were not brought over, only the bookmarks and workspaces.

@SuperFarter98 Not even inside GX and One themselves.

Opened tabs can be accessed by clicking on the tabs icon in sidebar or by going to opera://activity.

Speed Dials from other devices can be seen in Other Speed Dials.

Opera One only has dark and Light themes, it has no color scheme.

@leocg Thank you for the quick response and I have just copied all of my speed dials over.

However, my original suggestion was to sync everything at once to avoid this kind of confusion. The wallpaper did not transfer over and having to manually copy over all of my speed dials as well as individually copying all of my open tabs, which is an unfortunately high number of tabs into each workspace could just be avoided by including them in the sync.

@SuperFarter98 Wallpaper in GX and One have differences.

In "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software", you can:

• Delete the "Opera Stable" folder.

• Copy the "Opera GX Stable" folder, paste (which will paste it as "Opera GX Stable - Copy") and rename it to "Opera Stable".

• Fix the layout of the "Opera Stable" folder to be like this.

Then, when you start Opera One, it'll use everything from the copy of the Opera GX profile that it can.

Something you can play around with.
