The removal of the old UI option sucks. The new UI looks worse and disrupts the flow of my searching, now that everything looks different, and it should be added back. There is no good reason not to have the ability to just chose which you want

@Caraway The old UI probably will/is being removed, as usually happens when there is a layout change in a software.

for those who don't wanna modify the file that krasen is talking about, i wrote a little launcher to make it for you, all the instructions are in the repo:

@KhronosPy Might help to mention in the readme that you might have to adjust the path to opera.exe in OperaGX_WithOldTheme.ps1. By default, the Opera GX installer puts opera.exe at "${env:localappdata}\Programs\Opera GX\opera.exe" and only uses "${env:programfiles}\Opera GX\opera.exe" when you click "options" in the installer and switch to an all-user install.

The user can find the install folder path by going to the URL opera://about.

@burnout426 Yes I just noted too, I added two possible paths now, and i would add that on the readme!. Thanks!

@KhronosPy I played with making a browser launcher a long time ago here (for a different purpose). What I ended up doing is requiring the launcher to be next to the browser's executable and having the launcher always figure out its own path (to use for the base path to the browser's executable). More complicated though, but...

@burnout426 I thought about that too, but for accesibility i just make it as it is now, But i have plans to make a search for the path by it self later, I just made the repo today soon as i found out about the update.

Undo new UI and return to old one as an option

Read above, I don't like how the new UI looks, we have had the option to go back to the old Opera GX for the past few years, why did you suddenly remove it and why did you suddenly force it upon us if we don't want it, Was there seriously a problem with just adding the button to go back and leave things how they were, sometimes it's better to just not touch things.
