That is the worst theme update I ever saw, there is so much lost space on the "thick" borders, the they forced everything to be rounded which just take even more space. What a disaster. Best time to switch browsers

makoruu last edited byMy Opera updated today, and the shell and theme is completely different. Everything is round, and floating, and I very strongly dislike it.
I apologize to the developers, and the artists who made the new look. It looks very clean and modern, and I am confident they worked very hard, and they did a good job.
But I personally do not care for this new look. And I would like to know how to disable it, or go back to the old theme.
The new one has this weird white square around the boarders, it's extremely distracting, and I dislike the floating the tabs, and want to go back to the pinned rectangular ones.
I'm sorry for being so fussy. Thank you for your time.

Is there a method to go back to the old 99 UI?
I couldn't help but notice this comp thread is only my topic and no instructions.

This new theme is really absurd, There is too much space wasted in the bars, they are exaggeratedly large, the usable navigation space is so restricted that it stresses people out
As I see that they will not solve this, unfortunately I will go to another browser and delete my information from Opera. I've been with Opera for years,
and this is the end.
And so, many of us will leave. -

@aaronllerena I feel your pain. I am hoping that maybe they will listen and at least give those that want to return to the old look and feel the option to do so. Of course they would need to give their customers a portal to upload suggests like that.
It would be wonderful if some of these companies would implement changes their customers had suggested instead of tearing down the house and put up something that removes what made the existing product wonderful to begin with.
I have looked for a place to make suggestions on their site, but found none. The only option I see for this would be to submit this as bugs. I just hope someone in charge is listening to us in this blog. Until an option to return to the prior state I will no longer recommend Opera unfortunately.

I have a habit of putting my cursor to the side when scrolling through websites like Youtube and Facebook.
And now there's stupid god awful border around the entire page that is a complete and total dead zone. The scroll doesn't work if the mouse is touching it.
You can't retrain twenty five years of muscle memory to fix something like that. I've started using Chrome against my will, and I'll stay on Chrome until they change back the theme.
I've been a loyal Opera user for almost thirty years. This is horrible.

ghost-walrus last edited by@makoruu I believe you, but I can't recreate it. Where does the mouse have to be to be in a scroll-less zone?

@leocg Thank you very much. It took me a moment to get to the forums as your link contained the 'or' in it and it kept coming up as not found. Here is the link corrected...
