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
@Sopronman said in Opera 132 Stable:
On the left side is a 5-6 cm wide empty column
just turn of the vertical tabs option, it's buggy.
Despite of reports, the extensions pin indicators still look bad and not so informative(too small) vs the old ones. Also, the both pinned and unpinned look bad on hover (barely visible on the blue background)
It's still will be better to put the 'new tab' in island button on the pill's menu on hover (currently available in the pill's right click context menu).
Currently there are three little buttons in row can appear on hover and need to be again very precise to not to click the wrong button.
*And still the 'ungroup island' option is not implemented.
Still tabs managment issue described here https://forums.opera.com/post/401736
reuploaded the animation regarding the new tab creation in wrong place.
@whisperer It's not necessary to move to the top, the bug also occurs when moving items up/down. The positions of the moved items will be random (after reopening the folder the position will be correct). Also in Developer.
For a exmaple I'm moving 'yt nature' item and place it after the 'Opera desktop ..' item but it placed as the last one item, after reopening the folder the position is correct.
Also, the scrolling doesn't work if the cursor is on the left 1px content border (for example reddit web site).
*The are other numerous bugs which stay unfixed for months or years, I just highlighted the ones related to scrolling.
his update fixes a crash that could occur when clicking the extension bar handle:
Why the crash in split screen is still not fixed.
Split screen: Fixed crash on double-clicking the address bar
I thought it fixes the crash when clicking tabs in the address bar (because I saw the same rna in Developer's changelog ) but here in Stable it still crashing the browser.
Also, still crashing when using the tabs cycler (Ctrl+tab) while playing YT video.
the search popup (redesigned) is still bad:
it's appearing collapsed (none of the buttons is preselected) but after hovering icon transforms to button immediately and such behavior looks choppy. Such design suits for the vertical menu like in Edge, not for the horizontal one.
while text is selected but after scrolling the search popup doesn't disappear and stay floating.
quite easily the cursor can be placed between the icons (because of the big padding) and is need to move cursor more to trigger the menu.
if redesigning like this, then the search popup should have light and dark mode (like in Edge).
the search/copy and converter separate bubbles + the bold dot at the bottom don't't look great imho.
*btw, if the upper bubble is not expanded, then there's a space between the two bubbles. But after expanding the space disappears.
Also, the round corners as not as good decorated as in the old popup. There's too simple pixelated corners
