      When I just installed Opera 24 on my Linux machine the first thing I noticed was that the window borders were looking like on a typical Ubuntu installation. Since I use Arch Linux with E those look rather strange in my environment and I wish there was an option to change that in some way, maybe like Chromium which has an option to use native borders.

        How are you even managing to install Opera (Blink) 24 on Linux when there isn't even a native version for Linux ?. All versions of Opera Blink, from 15 up to 24 are only available for Windows and MacOS X, there are currently no Blink versions of Opera for Linux.

        Ok, I take that back, Opera has finally released a Dev stream version of Opera Blink 24 for Linux.

            Yeah, thanks rafaelluik, I realised that it had been announced further down the forum list, after posting, and came back here to correct my mistake.

            Anyway, Yay!!! for Linux, finally.

              Old Opera never did integrate with E, though it didn't remove the default window borders unless you tried. If it is any consolation, Opera for Windows doesn't use native window decorations either (most noticeable in XP).

                Of course the old Opera didn’t integrate perfectly with E since it didn’t use Elementary/EFL but at least it didn’t use some ugly Ubuntu-like window borders without letting me change this (and this is what I’m talking about). Regarding the custom window borders in XP I’ll have a look this afternoon to see whether it’s comparable to my issue.

                  Not badly so ... the worst part about the borders in XP is they are always blue - even when the window loses focus, and even though your default color scheme may be green (as in my case). Of course, they don't match the old classic theme if you choose that over Aero.

                    The two officially supported desktop environments are Unity and GNOME Desktop on Ubuntu 64-bit. A note on availability.

                      Congrats on getting out a Linux build! 🙂 Hopefully in few releases you can get QT support, but it's very understandable that ensuring stability is more important than blending in with every DE right now. Interestingly though, for me Opera manages to look better in KDE than Chromium (obviously that's subjective, though)

                        Enjoying the latest build of Opera on Ubuntu 14.04. I noticed the window icons are on the right while Unity uses the left. Will this be corrected?
