[Compilation]Discussions on the new Opera GX UI/Layout

The new opera gx layout is a bit annoying to get used to especially how everything is smaller. yes that does give more space for the main window but I would prefer it if you could either choose or customize it more. while having this new layout like this is indeed more sorted based on category but I would still like to have the option to have the tools as they were and larger.

a positive change about the new layout is this setting bar. it's much more intuitive than the old way too navigate the main settings and such

I personally don't enjoy the lack of smooth clean surfaces like in the current version, even though I prefer the sidebar.

Everyone is different, so I really hope we get the ability to choose between the current or new look, or have better customization control in the settings/themes.

Either way I'm grateful for the Early Bird feature and this browser in general!

Something to add to this is that this outline grabs a bit too much attention in my opinion and negatively affects my experience using opera gx
It's kind of hard to see the outline in this image but if you click the images you should be able to see it.
And I know this problem can be reduced by having a less obstructive theme but what if you want to or even need to use higher contrast themes to be able to see what the icons and stuff are?

@daneilek For now you can disable Early Bird, but soon the change will be permanent.

I don't want this new UI to be used... I have alot of tabs and the smaller tabs make it look so much worse, when I open a new tab it just becomes black and I want it to stay as the old version... Please make an option to revert back to the old UI if you make this change permanent...

Please don't make this change permanent... I use alot of tabs and the smaller tabs make the UI look so much worse... It also switches to black whenever I open up a new tab that also looks bad... Please make an option to switch back to the old UI if you do make it permanent... It is also too laggy for me...

@OBCVanzyYT It seems to be following your theme color

@leocg I think they're talking about the extrusion on the selected tab that imo is a little aggressive
