        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.

          Nope, 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 -Raw

                  Replace 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 UTF8

                  Path 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.
