As a workaround disable these 2 flags and the old popup will be back.

@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.

@Dheinamar said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:

new location of the list in Menu->History

This is not a new location, 'recently closed' short list has always been there. When they recommend to use OMenu > History instead they are just trying to justify their weird decision regarding the removed TabMenu. OMenu is not the same as TabMenu, otherwise the TabMenu wouldn't have been necessary and implemented at all in the past.

I'm also on Win 8.1 and I have various results in different browsers (Chrome, FireFox, Vivaldi, Edge Canary on chromium).
With hardware acceleration ON it does work nowhere (small difference is in FireFox where the black screen is appearing when I click 'play' button, in other browsers no response)
With hardware acceleration OFF it plays correctly only in Chrome. It also plays in Edge, but with freezes (not smooth). In FireFox and Vivaldi is the same result as with acceleration off.

@treego you can disable #search-in-open-tabs flag to return the tab menu.

@rusmax73-10 I saw a workaround in Opera blog (http://disq.us/p/21vfkgf)
launch the Opera with the switch as follows:
\path\to\launcher.exe --save-page-as-mhtml

It works here on Win8x64

@leocg said in Opera 69.0.3638.0 developer update:

can't please everyone all the time.

It's more than possible in this particular case.
Just add switches on the new popup as I suggested above https://forums.opera.com/post/203796

Or restyle the TabMenu to look more modern but with the kept functionality and layout.
Both developers (because there will be another one new feature implemented that can be hyped) and users (because it will be the same feature, loved by most users, but even more improved) will be happy in this case. And the complaints will stop instantly.

@leocg Why there was no such question 5 or 10 years ago (when the feature was implemented)? I think people who created this feature should know the answer.
After being by one of the main distinctive features (comparing to other browsers) during these years , it's now 'logical' to ask 'why'... Because there were recently closed tabs 10 years ago and there are recently closed now.

@karen-arzumanyan: disable #search-in-open-tabs flag.

It seems that in latest Dev build the #enable-surfaces-for-videos flag was removed. So we need to hope that they will implement the controls on the new popup before the 68 version hits Stable channel.

Video pop-out still needs improvements. It's still has no video caption and the window's size and position are reset each time after tab closing .

Additionally to the focused closing cross after clicking 'cancel' on the multiple tabs closing warning dialog

something similar happens with 'Search in tabs' icon.
If some menu/context or dropdown stay opened while I'm opening 'Search in tabs popup', after closing the popup the icon will stay focused (until I move cursor and hover the icon again). On all channels.

@arianelu-0 said in Terrible UI design and animation since last year:

useless pop up

the popup is only in Beta and Dev and it can be disabled in Settings ('enhanced address bar' option) or by disabling the flag. In Stable it's disabled by default in flags.

Regarding the UI, I mostly agree. I can add here the different borders of Menus/Context menus/bookmarks bar dropdowns comparing to the toolbar popups. Popups have nice tiny shadowed borders in contrast to menus and dropdowns which have bold/blurry borders. Also, menus/dropdowns still have the old very light greeny-gray background, but popups and the toolbar have white background in light theme.

Also, there's a still the ugly contrasting white selected items in menus and dropdowns in dark mode.

In Opera GX vs Opera it can be adjusted. And looks a way better.

I report it regularly.

A for the ugly dropdowns in Settings,

this is a bug and I report it since the 68 Dev version. dropdowns also flicker in dark mode in Beta and in Dev.

3. The bug is confirmed by other users also on both Win7/10 (please, read @burnout426's and @johnd78's responses. @burnout426 discovered that the bug affect OMenu too)

4. I already made the record a week ago in Stable thread because it happens on all channels.

5. Yes , reproducible. And in Beta too.

6. It stays red until I move cursor over the bookmarks bar or the toolbar.

@olesiak Thanks. What about the other issues listed here (especially 1-3) ?https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2020/05/opera-70-0-3701-0-developer-update/#comment-212384

@johnd78: I don't know if it's possible, but if bookmark (or search result) opens in current
speed dial tab, then the start page's visual state should reset (when flag is enabled).

@andrew84 I guess the cookies popup shouldn't have the white scrollbar too

Scrollbar on 'Add languages' popup doesn't look great in dark mode. It seems that the magnifying glass icon is misplaced too (on all channels).

@andrew84 Also I'd prefer some semitransparent background (the same in both dark and light modes, similar to the '+ Add a site' tile) instead of solid white/black.

And more info can be shown, for example 'real feel', 'wind', 'uv-index'. The tile itself can be rectangular, not square (to fit more info).
