      @andrew84 Yes, I think so. I could change and edit themes with Vivaldi at least five years ago. Same goes with split screen, which in Vivaldi is not restricted to two sites. Although I have to admit the feature is better implemented in this new Opera version.
      I don't know if this all is some Gen Z marketing with all this hype. I mean, maybe I'm just too old for such stuff.
      I came back to Opera before Version 100 and I did like it how it was. I'm not sure what are the benefits of all these changes since then.
      I'm trying out Brave for now. Let's see where this leads me to. Thank you, Opera, for more than two years now. I hope, you'll stay relevant even without these gimmicks.

        @HealingCross316 thank you for your feedback, we're really appreciate it. In this release we focused more on visual and creative features but also added some functional features like Split Screen or Tab Traces.

        Regarding possibility to delete customized themes we're currently working on it and we will add this pretty soon. Sorry to hear that we didn't meet your expectations. Would you be so kind and share with us what exactly you expected from this update? This will help us to improve for feature updates.

          @andrew84 thank you for your feedback. Aurora and Midsommar comes with built-in wallpaper and that's why you cannot upload your own wallpaper. However, you have this possibility in Classic Theme and you can also adjust colors and browser mode.

          Regarding speed dials background - you're right, it should be semitransparent and this is a bug we're fixing as we speak, it should be done in several days. We really appreciate your feedback becasue it helps us improve our browser with every update.

              I understand this. It was just a notice regarding the design and why there's no possibility to upload own wallpaper and fit it to full screen under the UI modules

              @eharabien said in Opera launches Opera One R2 – the best Opera Browser to date:

              it should be semitransparent

              Tiles are semitransparent but it's dark. Maybe it should be semitransparent white in light mode and semitransparent dark in dark theme.

              Edit:

              I'd also suggest also using semitransparent tiles if thumbnail has a full area picture. The thumbnail can be solid when hovered by cursor.

                @eharabien You’re answer is appreciated as well. Maybe, I‘ll give the new Opera another week and see, if we‘re getting friends 😊
                But animated themes have not been on my wish list, actually. But maybe, I‘ll be convinced when there are more in the store. Otherwise to customize the classic one isn’t the worst option either. Maybe, it was almost my gallery flooded with themes, make me grumbling.

                    @andrew84 btw, tiles text is still barely visible when using some wallpaper.

                        I still find it disappointing that Opera doesn’t adapt to the GNOME theme. Or that there’s no option to set it. For example, I’d prefer the minimize, maximize, etc. buttons on the left instead of the right.

                          @eharabien And please make the classic theme the same as it was with all the previous shades and colors. It is clear that I can fine-tune it for myself in the future, but I would like the classic theme to be the classic one that we have become accustomed to since Opera 100

                          For example, the address bar in the classic theme used to be lighter and more harmonious

                          изображение_2024-10-25_194337303.png

                          In subsequent versions, for some reason, you significantly darkened the same address bar in this same classic theme. The same as with selecting folders on the tab bar

                            @mixchild It doesn't make sense for Opera to allow that.

                              @mixchild The problem is that those images may cause issues with reading the tabs content.

                                @max1c: Thank you for your report! It seems the issue you're experiencing could be related to a known problem, DNA-119145, where the Aurora and Midsommar dynamic themes aren't working correctly with OpenGL or D3D9. This might explain why you're only seeing Classic themes and "Coming Soon" for the rest after the update. We appreciate your patience while we work on resolving this.

                                  @keivms: Hello! As mentioned in the comment above, you can still set your desktop wallpaper as the background in Opera. Once you've selected the Classic Theme, you should see an option to pick your desktop wallpaper from a list of available wallpapers. Does that work for you or is the option missing entirely?

                                    @andres85961234: We're sad to hear that the Midsommar and Aurora Themes aren’t displaying animations or backgrounds properly for you. Are you sure that the option in the Theme editor to show animations is enabled? Additionally, could you provide more details about your device and its specifications? This information might help in troubleshooting the issue further.

                                          @daria19 I guess it's obvious that people would wish using the semitransparent UI with own wallpaper.
                                          So predefined transparent theme should have option to select wallpaper. Or the Classic theme should have option to make the UI semitransparent.

                                            @mixchild: Thank you for your questions! The removal of the timer from the PIP player was part of a design decision to streamline the interface, but we’re always open to feedback on usability. As for live themes, adding custom images with transparent backgrounds is not currently available, but it's an interesting idea. Regarding the red Opera "O" menu logo, it will remain red as it’s a core part of our branding.
