To many colors, too intense, too frivolous, to crowded, busy etc. Like happened earlier, the tab icons are muddy, crammed; you can't find your tabs anymore. A browser is not a Christmas tree.

RE: speed dial thumbnails are smaller?Opera for Windows
@darkskys There is some reset, but on my screen they are (overwhelmingly) larger than before. But maybe I changed my settings after the initial shrinkage and mutilation.
Edit: yes, I did, there's an option 'larger tiles'. Unchecked it, and it's back to ' normal'.

RE: General Opera One Appearance Feedback TopicAppearance
I keep using the old version because of this, the result immediately after update:
"like a water color in the rain"
This happened in the past, and it was repaired. Or can anybody tell me whether this is a setting?
And please taske away this welcoming logo, the internet is not a zoo where we come to admire new animals. Most people use their browser as a tool, not as a piece of art.

[Suggestion]Rigorous updates should have choice menu as well as roll-back optionGeneral
I think in (certainly rigorous) updates the policy should be inverted: let user choose what they consider useful and what they consider rubbish before ruining the UI completely for those that use internet/Opera for work/useful things. Without asking you end up being disoriented with icons moved, tab icons blurred and muddy and other diverting and distracting silliness. And make a clear button to choose and have executed a complete roll-back after trying the new fads.

RE: web based media has no sound in OperaOpera for Windows
This is a very long thread and I'm not going to read it all, but I have a similar issue.
Most sites work fine in Opera, soundwise, like youtube.
However, GIFs are played without sound, for example. As do many others sound-items.
However, when Opera produces no sound, copying the link to Chrome or Firefox does play the sound. so there is nothing 'wrong' with my PC, my settings, my device, whatever. It is Opera. By now I automatically use another browser.
Most procedures mentioned above seems, no offense, pretty silly to me, when Firefox and Chrome just do the job. I shouldn't walk through dozens of settings to find the cause for one single website (like Soundcloud) or format (GIF). Our national public television's website works fine, except for the adds (blessing). Since there are multiple of those causing the issue it must be something more generic.

@joshkauff I think the tabs had margins before, now they don't have that anymore, which causes a blur when you have many tabs open. This was on my screen before and after:

RE: History Page is broken: Old history not displayedOpera for computers
Suddenly all my history has gone, and Opera only records history for one or two days. Until a few weeks ago it still worked. W7. Checked all my settings, nothing that could explain this.

Bookmark bar keeps popping up despite setting noneOpera for Windows
Every few minutes the bookmark bar pops up, although the setting is 'no bookmark bar'. When it switch it off, it pops up again within a short time. This occurs since a few days ago. I never used a bookmark bar.

RE: History Page is broken: Old history not displayedOpera for computers
@sgunhouse Mine used to keep it for far longer. I purged it regularly to remove 'useless' entries, like google searching, searching in webshops and google maps.

Update march 1 gives blurry tabsOpera for Windows
Apparently the resolution for the tabs has changed. Since I always have a lot of tabs open suddenly the top my Opera browser is a dirty mess.

[Duplicated]Today 'new' Opera: lost all my tabs, all my history, all my bookmarks.Opera for Windows
Today apparently some update, in my 99 version, and when I checked One looked completely different too (no purple anymore). But everything, really everything of the last years is gone, all my work. Tabs, history, bookmarks, extensions, settings, really everything I worked on etc.

[Duplicated]Annoying red square prompting me to update to new ugly operaOpera for Windows
An annoying red square (with cheap blingy make-up) keeps drawing my attention and prompts me to install a new safety update. However, when I want to do that, I will download the ugly, impractical and distracting new purple one. I still use the old one, and wait until Opera will come to its senses and offer settings options for more or less intrusive and distracting color schemes. Pleas remove that square.

RE: General Opera One Appearance Feedback TopicAppearance
@vegm What I did. 1) I downloaded the installer for the previous version, 2) I made a shortcut to it, 3) copied the shortcut to the taskbar. Everytime I start up my PC I start (old (work-)) Opera from that icon. NB: that wil put a second, regular icon on the taskbar. One should not use that at startup, for it wil autoload the new (distraction-/play-) version with intrusive noisy intro and candy store colors.

RE: Closed my main Opera window, forgot there was a smaller popup window still open. lost all tabs?Opera for Windows
@moods Tried it too and it works Though, I used the menu, and I guess you clicked the clock symbol? I get this:
@leocg Thanks a lot. Wish I had known this before. I hope there will be no next time I will be able to use it of course. I stick to my view it should be prevented, for I think people will only learn about this when it is too late.

RE: Closed my main Opera window, forgot there was a smaller popup window still open. lost all tabs?Opera for Windows
@zauberfritz Come to think of it; a reason for having so many tabs open is that you may have different fields of interest like statistics, music, healthcare/medical. For some of these topics weeks may go by with you not working on them. An elaborate function might be you can group open tabs thematically and open them when you want to work on that topic. Each theme with its own history. But I understand that's another level of functionality.

RE: Closed my main Opera window, forgot there was a smaller popup window still open. lost all tabs?Opera for Windows
@leocg @moods I can't check whether that would have worked, unfortunately. You do need to know (I only found out today) that that only shows a few tabs, but that you can/need to scroll to get more of them. I only find about ten now, but some days have past. But it's a solution to an issue that should not exist, at least not needs to exist. Hardly anyone would want to lose dozens of tabs opened in favor of a single windows that probably isn't even looked at, let alone typed or scrolled in. Opera here does the least logical, reasonable or obvious. A crude solution would be a restore option. People lose hours of work because of this, so prevention would be nice.
