@daria19 Extended Stable is now at Chromium 130.0.6723.70, why can't Opera be as up to date as possible? https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2024/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_22.html

@iosaddict-0: Thanks for your feedback! Opera is currently using Chromium version 128.0.6613.186 on the stable channel. We understand that Chromium 130.0.6723.70 has been released, but integrating a new Chromium version into Opera takes time. Our team has to thoroughly integrate the new Chromium code, test it for stability, and ensure compatibility with all the custom features Opera provides. This process ensures that when we release a new version, it maintains the high standards our users expect. We aim to keep things as up-to-date as possible while also prioritizing a stable experience.

Why did they make the address bar so dark? It used to be a nice and comfortable light gray color.

@tastodd I don't like it being that dark either.

@daria19 Added https://github.com/flathub/com.opera.Opera/issues/140 for Flatpak so the maintainer knows about this release for sure.

@burnout426 I edited theme and after selecting the cold blue (similar to the one used previously in preOne versions) it looks nice.

but the tabstrip's color (and tabs contrast) is not the best in this case (but acceptable).

Opera team, but still, if you decide to make a classic theme, then it would be right to leave the entire color scheme as it was in previous versions. And if someone wants to change the colors for themselves, then they themselves manually build the color scheme that they like

@tastodd: Thank you all for your feedback! The color scheme in the Classic Theme is designed to align with the overall updated look and feel of the browser. However, we truly appreciate your insight and encourage you to explore the available customization options to find the color scheme that suits you best.

'Classic' theme sounds more like the theme used earlier (and I really like that theme, excepting the bright white hovered items in dark mode) before the 'One' version.
So I'd suggest renaming the current 'Classic theme' into 'Opera One' and offer another one predefined theme which will be really 'Classic' (or 'Opera legacy' or smth similar)

Why was the Mini Player broken? It has become small, I can't see where the number is right now. I can't pull it up to the right side as shown in the video. Why did the choice become more complicated? Dark and light theme?

@daria19 The only problem I have with the mini player is that it's small and I can't see how many minutes the song is playing at the moment. Old design was good.

I'm confused by this release. It seems to suggest that dynamic themes are now available. However, after updating I can only select Classic themes and have Coming Soon for the rest.
