Very nice and even more eye-calming than the blue-ish dark design before.
But I cannot change the background of the startpage anymore with one of these designs, correct ?

The Mirage theme is very beautiful. I was waiting for an all-black theme like this.

I don't get it. Since version 100 the UI of Opera has problems. You can't move the mouse cursor to the topmost edge of the screen and successfully focus on the Minimize, Maximize, Close or Opera Menu buttons. It only works on tabs. Opera 99 and the versions prior did not have this problem. When I posted about this on the forums, my post was deleted.
How can the developers of the browser keep adding new features and pretending something so important is not a problem? All other browsers - Chrome, Brave, Firefox and everything else has this properly and it's not a problem. This is a base requirement for any application - as soon as you have it maximized, all the buttons that are at the edge of the screen must be accessible when the mouse is dragged to the edge, which is why the Close button and the Menu button are on the two corners of the screen - for usability reasons so you can use them without spending extra energy and effort to look where you're positioning the mouse cursor. Microsoft Office does this too with their menu.
For me this is unacceptable. I want to use Opera, but this new UI since version 100 is making it impossible for me. I've tested this both on Linux and Windows and the behavior is exactly the same. Please, Opera, fix this problem before adding new features to the browser.

@weilan Things are slightly better in Opera GX. The search in tabs, minimize, maximize/restore and close buttons work as expected. The + button on the tab bar, the expand/collapse toggle for a tab group, the Opera menu, the right-most toggle on the address bar, the sidebar panel buttons, and the back button when the sidebar is hidden are all still an issue though.
So, it seems like it should be possible to fix some of the things in Opera One too.
Vivaldi's developers do tests on these things when there are interface changes. Sometimes they don't catch an issue at first, but they usually fix it when reported. I would like to see the same in Opera.
