And extensions are great. Long live extensions

I agree but I'll give you the same selfish answer you gave me. If you don't like it, go and use extensions. Opera minimalist is the best thing ever (sarcasm).

Hi @pe73, yes you can do this as follows:

1. Go to the Settings (Alt+P), click on the free space on the page, somewhere outside the search field, enter the Konami code: up up down down left right left right b a,
2. After that, the warning window should appear (Power user settings), click on the "I understand, proceed" button, then scroll to the bottom of the page, and tick the checkbox on the left of the "Always show power user settings" option,
3. Scroll a bit up, to the "User interface" section, and you should see the "Delay of initial tab preview in milliseconds" options (as shown below), and change the default value (600), by clicking on the arrow symbols: up-arrow, down-arrow on the right of the value, or click on the value field, and type a custom value, eg. 200:

Whoa, this is what I'm looking for!
Some friends complained about delayed preview, indicating that the process is "heavy".

Thanks!

While I like the tab preview, it might be better if you could control the size of the preview . At least have some options -- small, medium, large.

I join your request. Really need old look of small preview. Please, add this to the settings.

Please let us customize Opera! Its not big deal. I had to disable Opera tab preview.

@pe73: For that purpose, you can try one of the extensions that allow you to automatically refresh web pages: the Page Reloader, the Auto Refresh Plus, or Easy Auto Refresh - to be able to install one of the last two, you need first install one of the following extensions, which allow you install extensions from the Chrome Web Store: the Extension source viewer, or the Download Chrome Extension.

Thanks! Will try.

Check opera:gpu, maybe it can give you some hint.

I got these results:

Graphics Feature Status

Canvas: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

Flash: Hardware accelerated

Flash Stage3D: Hardware accelerated

Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

Compositing: Hardware accelerated and threaded

Rasterization: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

Threaded Rasterization: Disabled

Video Decode: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

Video Encode: Hardware accelerated

WebGL: Hardware accelerated

--- I get the same results in Opera developer 25 (in which WebGL is supported).

Here html5test shows "Webgl 3D Graphics" as prefixed.

@leocg, It normally shows ''Prefixed'' for me too, but since the update to Opera 24, it's not working anymore... See the screenshot here.

I get that result if i disable hwa. Check opera:gpu, maybe it can give you some hint.

Thanks but the setting isn't refreshing a tab. This setting specifies how fast a tab preview should be displayed. I meant real refresh of site, i.e. having opened tab (for instance a forum) and hovering over a tab will refresh site.

Oh sorry, in that case, it seems that I not guessed well, what you meant

There is no setting for this. Maybe some extension can help.

OK thanks. It would be neat to have this option available.

I think, because when that happens, Speed Dial folder's Open/Close animations (and many others) are less smooth than normal.

I don't think that webgl support has any relation with it but i may be wrong.

Also, when I disable the ''use hardware acceleration when available'' option in Settings, the WebGL support (normally) disappears.

Makes sense, i guess, as it seems very dependable on hwa.

Now, I have that option checked, but Opera doesn't have the WebGL support.
