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'.
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.
@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.
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??
@sektorl try disabling the #scrollable-tab-strip flag and check.
Despite of being enabled by default, the scrollable tab strip flag causes both visual and usage issues(even if the toggle in Settings is disabled).
@orewayaya I don't use GX but in stock Opera version the feature is already implemented but still hidden in flags. I believe it's more than a year already since the flag first appeared and it's still disabled for some reason(under development).
Regarding the second suggestion there was multiple reports already. Other browsers (Edge, Chrome ) allow to select and move multiple tabs. Looks like this an default Chromium's behavior, not clear why Opera can't
@andrew84 All the themes should be visible only in Theme Gallery popup. That's why the button is called 'see all themes'. EasySetup should only contain themes selected by user.
Currently theme gallery dialog = themes carousel in EasySetup/Settings. So what's the point in the theme gallery popup? Looks like an obvious design flaw.
@tspringer 100%.
It's better to keep the feature off to not to accidentally click a tab and then scrolling to seek the desired position manually again.
*Maybe it was the point of the change. Feature is off so no complaints that the feature has bugs.
@Opera-QA-Team said in Opera 133.0.5931.0 developer update:
Supporting different configurations of the same theme was removed
I can't understand why but ok.
But I meant not the same themes but all themes. In case if user doesn't need the whole themes set in EasySetup menu.
Like it works in case of wallpapers.
*your recent decisions regarding the design and features functionality don't cease surprising.
@rick2 So this is an intended change > https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2026/06/opera-133-0-5931-0-developer-update/#comment-404519
Looks like a mockery.
@Opera-QA-Team said in Opera 133.0.5931.0 developer update:
Not returning back to the previous position on 2nd click was dropped within task RNA-3332, which was introduced few versions ago, so it is intended change.
Are you serious?
This is the feature's absolute degradation.
The feature is losing its point in this case.
*There's no direct mentioning about 2nd click in the RNA
RNA-3332 Clean up “scroll to top of active tab” and make it work on more sites
Fix the 'scroll to top' feature finally!
Now it not only scrolls to top while moving tabs.
Now it doesn't return back to scrolled position after clicking on tab again (doesn't matter if moving tabs or not).
*They bug persists almost ~3 years and now become even worse.
@Opera-QA-Team Clear. But for Classic theme there's still some pinkish fullcsreen flash on startup
*The both EasySetup and sidebar setup panel still don't reset scrolling position on open.
*Easysetup still closing after trying to grab the scroll bar while cursor is on the 1px content border.
*The wallpaper carousel still doesn't work quite correctly. After selecting wallpaper it's resetting each time and shows the active wallpaper as first tile.
The carousel should remember its cycled position with selected wallpaper instead. Like it worked in preOne version.
Additional suggestion here could be that wallpaper/themes tiles carousel can be rotated not only by using the right-left arrow buttons but also by moving mouse while pressing and holding mouse's left button.
*Despite of being reported, the themes editing shows different dialogs (old vs new) depending on it was opened in EasySeup or using right click while on start page.
