I revert it to the old one, but if they force to change it again i will just delete opera gx and use another browser

Just to add one more reason I hate the new UI is that under Themes, the option for colors is different, before we had to choose 4 colors, now its only 2, and they are not acting the same way.

Please tell Opera if you hate the new look and function as much as I do. I find it a huge step backwards. Hate it, Opera!!
Looks like from another thread there is no way back. Even if you put the old version back on, it updates when you restart... Sigh...

@likkm No way to roll back to the old UI now. You can click the Easy Setup button on the address bar and set the preset to "GX Classic" though. That will simulate some of the old UI.

And there is a question asking for users satisfication for the new hi
If you clicked no,they will revert back automatically

What on earth is this new UI

Now that there is no way to go back to the old layout i was wondering if there are any other browsers yall recommend.

So, should we all just install an older version of Opera and turn off updates?

Right click open with notepad > find gxx_flags
on bottom row it says true, change it to false and save the file, restart opera. boom old UI.

If you haven't fixed it already, go to C:\Users*username*\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable and edit the "Local State" file you can change this from true to false it should fix it, well it did for me

gxx_flags":{"enabled":false,

@likkm it seems now they have disabled this function and forcing users to use the new ones

[@VibrantSpectator said in [Compilation]Discussions on the new Opera GX UI/Layout:

The new opera gx layout is a bit annoying to get used to especially how everything is smaller. yes that does give more space for the main window but I would prefer it if you could either choose or customize it more. while having this new layout like this is indeed more sorted based on category but I would still like to have the option to have the tools as they were and larger.

a positive change about the new layout is this setting bar. it's much more intuitive than the old way too navigate the main settings and such
