      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

        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.

                              Opera is the only browser that has this gigantic frame around the page content.
                              773a90fe-3ccf-41b3-ba4b-c7f0a80d6647-image.png
                              Here's how it looks in firefox: 92d9c985-5b2a-41ce-ae98-129a65694151-image.png
                              It's a tiny black line you can barely see it. Same with Chrome, Vivaldi, etc.

                                @max1c here the border is not so thick but still irritates a lot.
                                2024-10-28_161246.png

                                I have such thick border in Edge after turning the 'Try new look ...' toggle on in Settings.
                                2024-10-28_161209.png

                                *The content border after chromium's UI refresh is just a disaster.

                                  @andrew84: That's because you are in full screen. But even in full screen it's still larger than any other browser. It becomes huge when you have multiple windows opened on a single screen and Opera isn't expanded to full screen.

                                    @max1c: The border appearance changes depending on whether the window is minimized or maximized, reflecting the intended design. However, we truly appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

                                      @max1c said in Opera launches Opera One R2 – the best Opera Browser to date:

                                      because you are in full screen

                                      You're right. Didn't pay attention because I don't use Opera One versions daily.

                                      In Edge it's thick even in full screen but thankfully the border can be turned off (and thus I believe technically it's possible to remove the border in Opera as well)

                                      *So when not maximized the window have the bold white border + tiny black one + shadow. I can't call it as a good 'design'.
                                      2024-10-28_162516.png

                                      Edit:
                                      and in dark mode it looks uglier, especially when there are scrolling bars because in this case some corners look square and some are rounded.
                                      Also, in dark mode is noticeable that the space between scrollbar and the border is roughly pixelated in corners and thus there are 'holes'.

                                        @daria19: I understand that this is intended. But it breaks immersion when using the browser and even in full screen the border is larger than other browsers. It's also taking up a significant amount of space when you have multiple windows opened side by side. I believe this was introduced with Opera 100. Before 100 it was significantly smaller.
