@Freetoplay951 Huh? Mods are a feature of GX, not regular Opera. Is this post about GX or about Opera One?

Opera GX 114.0.5282.218 has the New Look that was in Early Bird on by default and no way to turn it off now.

I hate the new look!
I want my old tabs back, not a dent from the edge of the screen down above the activated tab. Round colored app icons in the sidebar. In general, not everything is so forced to be angular!
Overall, this is an absolutely disgusting betrayal of the GX philosophy and a slap in the face the users and fans of Opera GX because of its customizability to their own taste!
It was adjusted somewhat, absolutely not to my liking, without my consent, or at least the possibility of adjusting it back to my liking.

Try the following ->

Via Settings, Enable Widgets (opera://settings/widgets_settings)
Open the speed dial
Open the widgets menu on the speed dial (its at the top right)
There should be a bar on the top asking feedback about the new UI
Next it it, click on the back button
There will a prompt, optionally give feedback
Click on revert and restart
Let the browser restart with the old UI

Don't know for how long that option will be available

OMG, yeah - that worked - thanks !!!
I have my complete desktop, Opera, Favicons, Windows App Icon, Start menu, Taskbar Buttons, and a lot more customized.

But an Opera GX update later, and the entire aesthetic achieved through long work is ruined.
Well, thank you very much too!
Opera wanted to feel like MS, or what?
But which genius thought, that the only way to have the chance to get back to the old design language, is hidden in the tiny corner of a hidden feedback to that not optional new design language? And should furthermore be placed, in the corner of a feature, which is optional, on a page, which is optional ?!! That's remarkably dumb, really the last of 2 brain cells.
After the restart, the “What's new?” page with a tile that informs you about the new design language - if you click on show more, you will be taken to the color selection for the new design and only for the new - that is intentional trolling!
If you click on download more above the color configuration, you are dragged to the mod section.
Where you can download and modify anything, including a lot of unnecessary BS, except something to modify the Design language, or a design language!! There's no doubt - insanity shaders can't be disabled.
I have completely deactivated the speed dial, the weather widget is the only activated.
So I was already looking for current versions of Iron and cyberfox and came across dozens of variants of chrome and firefox, and even more based on their chromium and gecko rendering engines, which made me even more frustrated.

So thanks again!!!

@leocg Unfortunately, it doesn't work on a new fresh installation.

@Freetoplay951 The speed dial is the view when you open a new tab that doesn't have any website.

New fresh tab = Speed Dial

@Freetoplay951and you must have widgets enabled and show a new look there!
Previously I couldn't find anything to provide feedback and then have the option to switch back to the old design language, after the restart it appears directly in this design language, but the other options are activated, or
disabled like before (I won't enable it after having the choice...)
