The removal of the old UI option sucks. The new UI looks worse and disrupts the flow of my searching, now that everything looks different, and it should be added back. There is no good reason not to have the ability to just chose which you want

@KhronosPy Might help to mention in the readme that you might have to adjust the path to opera.exe in OperaGX_WithOldTheme.ps1. By default, the Opera GX installer puts opera.exe at
"${env:localappdata}\Programs\Opera GX\opera.exe"and only uses"${env:programfiles}\Opera GX\opera.exe"when you click "options" in the installer and switch to an all-user install.The user can find the install folder path by going to the URL
opera://about. -

@burnout426 Yes I just noted too, I added two possible paths now, and i would add that on the readme!. Thanks!

@KhronosPy I played with making a browser launcher a long time ago here (for a different purpose). What I ended up doing is requiring the launcher to be next to the browser's executable and having the launcher always figure out its own path (to use for the base path to the browser's executable). More complicated though, but...

@burnout426 I thought about that too, but for accesibility i just make it as it is now, But i have plans to make a search for the path by it self later, I just made the repo today soon as i found out about the update.

Undo new UI and return to old one as an option
Read above, I don't like how the new UI looks, we have had the option to go back to the old Opera GX for the past few years, why did you suddenly remove it and why did you suddenly force it upon us if we don't want it, Was there seriously a problem with just adding the button to go back and leave things how they were, sometimes it's better to just not touch things.

leeonline last edited byNope, absolutely hate it! I'm changing browsers. We have been complaining about this for so long just for y'all to just make it worse every single time. I can't even hardly see the icons on the sidebar anymore.

I could forgive alt opening up the menu even though I use alt a lot. I could forgive merging windows being a bit janky, I could forgive not being able to translate entire pages or not being able to reverse image search. But in this new update, everything is terrible. When you drag a new window it doesn't become transparent or smaller so you can't merge 2 windows on the same monitor. When you try to merge, you have to hold the window on top of the other windows for a solid second. When you try to move a window to the other monitor, 2/3 times it just goes on the same monitor and it goes full screen but not maximized, so even with the setting, when you click on the black bar above the window, it doesn't register.
I'm going back to chrome after years of faithful suffering. It's not worth it.

@KhronosPy i already using it, but made some changes in OperaGX_WithOldTheme.ps1 in order opera:flags settings to work + added few more flags:
Path to Local State file, don't change it
$localStatePath = "$env:APPDATA\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\Local State"
Read the file content
$content = Get-Content $localStatePath -RawReplace the gxx_flags to false
$content = $content -replace '"gxx_flags":{.*?}', '"gxx_flags":{"enabled":false,"migrated":true}'
Save the new content
Set-Content -Path $localStatePath -Value $content -Encoding UTF8Path to Opera GX executable (change it if u needed)
$localAppPath = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\Opera GX\opera.exe" #change the opera path here. Cambia la ruta a opera aquí.
$programFilesPath = "C:\Program Files\Opera GX\opera.exe"if (Test-Path $localAppPath) {
$operaPath = $localAppPath
} elseif (Test-Path $programFilesPath) {
$operaPath = $programFilesPath
} else {
Write-Error "Opera GX executable not found in expected locations. Change the default path in the script"
exit 1
}Start Opera GX
Start-Process $operaPath --try-supported-channel-layouts, --enable-features=MediaFoundationClearPlayback
i put this in original operagx shortcut and it is working fine, now everything works as i needed, no more slowdowns and bugs that i had with local state readme mode + i have original shortcut, but target now is OperaGX_WithOldTheme.ps1 file, opening very fast, no bugs

@george2014 What icons? I still see all icons i use, but the only problem i have is that the weather widget doesn't work with the old ui.
