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
@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.
@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.
I'd like to have the ability(button/toogle) on the vpn popup itself to add/exclude sites.
"Turn off/on for this site" for example, Like it works for privacy protection popup.
@andrew84 Something like this (maybe wider) popup and all would be happy, but they trying to invent a wheel instead.
'Move to trash' doesn't work for tiles on start page.
Also, tile's menu suggests to open the tile in workspaces even if the workspaces feature is off.
*Make the flag #start-page-redesign visible to disable the redesign until it will be fixed.
@weilan Totally agree.
Regarding the purple accents, I'd say that the old blue one looks a way better. The purple menu's and dropdown's selected items both in light and dark theme looks just ugly.
Btw, there are separate topics already almost for each described issues.

@himmelssheriff said in Opera introduces Lucid Mode to improve video quality:
The new feature isn't quite ready in a way
So it would be logical first implement it in Developer version, hear the feedback and then add in Stable, like it usually happens with other new features.
@himmelsheriff said in General Opera One Appearance Feedback Topic:
In contrast to Edge everything's feels at the right place. No clutter
According to feedback on this forum there is significant negative regarding the new design.
And for me the 'One' version now looks cluttered to me comparing to other browsers.
When I look at these 3 levels of 'bubbles' (tab strip + address bar + bookmarks bar) in light theme I can't simply understand why it should look like more modern design. What advantages I get from these separate bordered modules? And the content border below just knocks me out.
Another one irritating factor for me is the purple highlighting items in menu. I mostly use the light theme. Previously the 'stroboscopic' effect was only in dark theme with the bright white items, now the bright purple is in both light and dark theme. You really think the most of the companies are just retarded, use light gray accents instead of the bright ones and Opera did revolution in design? The bright one is looking good for gaming interface, but browser is not an gaming interface. And additionally there's GX version with such interface.
Integrate the Extensions island into the toolbar and place the EasySetup menu button on its usual place.
