Bookmark, settings, etc. now at the bottom of sidebar !

So, in the latest update (v100.0) some 'genius' at the Opera dev team decided that moving the sidebar bookmarks, history, and settings to the bottom of the sidebar was a 'good' idea. The mouse pointer spends the vast majority of its time in the upper half of the screen, so putting the bookmarks and history in the lower left corner means that mouse travel is going to be exponentially increased to use those functions.
Does anybody know of a way, other than downgrading, to fix this 'feature' and get the Bookmarks and History button back to the top ?

@cmspencer Yeah, I 100% agree, this change is unbelievably stupid. Who in their right mind would ever come up with this!?

Opera devs, hello, we aren't on mobile phones, we don't need to have stuff at the bottom of the screen when all of our tab interactions are happening upstairs, duh. The person who decided to move the sidebar icons down and not give AN option to switch back needs to get their head bonked real hard. Hopefully, this is a bug, because I still have hope that some devs at Opera have figments of sense left inside.

And yeah, btw, the new design of v.100 sucks a lot: too vibrant, tacky and absolutely disgusting - the rounded outlines on search panel, bookmarks panel and extension panels make it all feel so unnecessary clustered. I don't want the excessive GX's style thrown into a cosy pristine browser that Opera pre-100 was.

Is there a way to change the sidebar to the right side on the screen? or should I change to "V" Browser?
