You have plans to improve how the modules visually are separated, especially web page content?
The border around web page content bothers me. I'd prefer no bold black (white in light theme) borders between web page and display's edges (including bottom). And no border between edge of the screen and sidebar or scrollbar.
As a workaround disable these 2 flags and the old popup will be back.
Remove the same purple selection for menus and dropdowns for both dark and light themes. Make it look normal and pleasant to eyes like in other browsers or software. It means different gray accents for dark and light themes instead of the bright purple.
Instead of simply improving/restyling the existing TabMenu and adding a search field there they replaced it with a part taken from the removed 'InstantSearch' feature (InstantSearch had the 'search for tabs' feature, by the way, but it was said that the InstantSearch was unpopular feature that's why it was removed. So it's worth asking why we have a part from unpopular feature in the top right corner now).
Now they are trying to recreate the already existing and well working tabs management popup (I mean Tab Menu), but it seems that the final result (regarding the functionality) will be worse anyway than the existing one. That what I can call as 'wasted developers resources'.
@leocg Look what I've found https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2017/08/exportable-bookmarks-smoother-videos-design-improvements-opera-47/
Yes, I agree with Opera, this a handy shortcut to my history log.
@mcedro said in [Duplicated]Non-clickable gap above tabs:
I thought it was a nice refresh of the interface, so now I'm skeptical about it.
I was skeptical already when I first launched the 'One' version. The refreshed interface looks cool only on their promotional videos and screenshots, but the user experience suffered a lot actually.
@leocg said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:
try improving tabs management
Obvious conclusion.
And not just a try, it really improved the tabs management, and 'Search in tabs' worsened it.
Maybe there should be a slider to adjust the level of sharpness.
On the other hand, why only sharpness?
There are also saturation, brightness, contrast adjustments I used to see in built-in options in players on web pages.
Сontroversial feature.
I just don't stop to wonder to all these unnecessary border jumble.
For example when the sidebar is in auto mode.
Sidebar's top/bottom parts look egg shaped, one border looks over another because of the bad shadowing, some curve and 'dirty' rounded corner, still holes when the sidebar panel is opened.
Who designed this, why and what for it was designed in this way??
Noticed the new 'skip' floating button for videos.
Fortunately, the button is optional in Settings.
Also, I noticed the #video-picture-in-picture-controls-update-2024 flag. I don't know if it's an old flag from 2024 or some new one.
I hoped that the flag means restoring old controls for the new redesigned PiP, but enabling the flag changes nothing.
@leocg here it's enabled by default and my screenshot shows that.
@HannesKannEsTV try temporary solution found on reddit,
renaming 'opera.exe'

@Kiryu-3 I don't have the issue here on Win 10x64 in Opera Stable (Portable).
But there's an assumption on forum (from reddit where's a whole bunch of comments for the same issue) that this relates to the 'MS Family Safety' affected MS account.

keeping the redesigned (why???) History page open
you mean the flag '#history-redesign' ?
Here it doesn't matter if the flag is disabled or not, crashes anyway.
But the flag state is glitchy as it seems.
By default it shows 'enabled'
After I select disabled
After relaunching it shows that the default state is disabled
@mochouchu It depends what background you select. Wallpapers should have black text (for example Lowglow) for speed dial tiles then it works.
@junkers It's a bug. As a workaround (temporary) you can select wallpapers which have black speed dial tiles text.
@andrew84 Using OMenu or shortcut gives the same result.
Edit: In general, other toolbar/address bar icons clicking after the saerch tabs was clicked also produce crashes.
