I don't understand what this is. what is a workspace? what does this phrase mean, " fine tab counting functionality to Opera GX"? what is a "fine tab"? what does "counting functionality" mean?
what does this phrase mean, " adding the current workspace's tab count to the badge"? what is "the badge"?as a matter of fact, every time I have checked to see what various add-ons are, I cannot understand the explanations at all.

Workspaces are a feature of opera gx (and other opera browsers) essential for tab organization.
Fine tab counting functionality means counting the number of tabs at a fine-grained level, i.e. per workspace.what does this phrase mean, " adding the current workspace's tab count to the badge"? what is "the badge"?
a badge for an extension is the little number/text displayed next to it's icon in the extensions display right of the address bar.
as a matter of fact, every time I have checked to see what various add-ons are, I cannot understand the explanations at all.
You should get accustomed with the features before looking at extensions. Go to opera's home page and click on features to get started (https://www.opera.com/features).

thelittlebrowserthatcould last edited byMany thanks, using on Opera One. The only problem seems to be if it's pinned to the taskbar, which stops the hide/reveal of pinned extensions functioning. But, as I have many pinned extensions already, having it on the sidebar is fine.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould I've noticed a problem that originated with the new UI, and not just with this extension, with almost all extensions, the click on an extension's icon on the URL bar either doesn't register or blocks for ~5seconds, it is in a state where the activated icon effect is on but the popup doesn't show.
I've tested if there is anything blocking in the extension but did not find anything. I attribute it to the new UI changes, will get in touch with Opera's team.
Btw, on opera one, how is the coloring? I noticed it looked off on a default install, will add some tweaks. (this is purely because I made this extension first for GX which does not get this issue because of a higher color contrast in the defaults)

@pu239 I'm not seeing a lag when clicking on extensions. There was with the enhanced address bar feature, recently, but it's back to normal for me.
I use the dark theme and the display is fine (white text, black background) with my choice of "Force dark mode on pages" from the Easy setup link in the address bar. If dark mode is not forced, then your extension's display of the workspaces and tab counts will be invisible, unless moused over to select.
With the light theme, the text is black over a light grey background.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould well the lag has been quite inconsistent for me, happens 50% of the time, with almost all pinned extensions
One way to not have it lag is open it in the sidebar once (and then subsequent clicks on the popup won't lag), this is definitely something weird with either just my browser or with opera itself.Update: I checked with downloading a fresh Opera One browser, and it opens instantly in that. Definitely something bad with my gx install 🥲
:')Also I've made a lot of tweaks especially for styling with opera one and air, should match your chosen accent colour now!
The update should be on the addons store soon!

@pu239: Hi, the colours for the v1.2 (via Github) don't work too well for dark theme without forced dark pages. Generally, I would prefer grey text, to match the sidebar icons, but it's not an extension that needs to be used frequently, I guess, so that's a minor issue. Thanks again.

I've tried to limit the lightness of the background to increase color contrast in most situations. If this still does not fix it for you, I might add a config option.
