@daria19 another one bug is that after switching wallpapers the theme's tile doesn't reflect that wallpaper. Only after switching dark/light mode it'll be displayed correctly.

@daria19

1. For example. When using the desert (Dry Desolation) wallpaper tiles were dark semitransparent, now they're white. So even the + button barely visible.

Even in the dark theme Aurora the tiles stay white for some reason.

2. Another one example.
   I'm on the classic theme using the 'Dry Desolation' wallpapers and tiles are white. I'm switching to 'Aurora' theme, tiles are white. I'm switching to the Interstellar theme, tiles are transparent. I'm switching back to Aurora and the tiles are transparent now.
   

*Most probably there are more examples but I have no wish to test it because I believe that the 'adaptation' didn't work, doesn't work and won't work correctly.

fix for Speed Dial background color issues

For me it works worse than before the 'fix' and speed dial tile's background still can look different (after switching themes) using the same theme/wallpaper

Reminded Opera Neon concept browser.

But at first sight looks a way better than Opera One, more elegant and smoother (visually).
But on the other hand, it's sad that the 'copy - paste' browsers conveyor is still in work and distracts developers attention from the main desktop browser which still needs a lot of work to become as smooth as pre One version at least. There's a chance that the Air browser will suffer the fate of the Crypto browser.

*Btw, when trying to watch youtube videos it's freezing a lot (HW accel. is on).

Why .5428 build is skipped in the changelog and in the blog?

Why no changelog for the .5428 version?

@Insaan You have 87 version? After updating to 87 version Opera also crashed few times. I don't know what the reason was and I simply installed 86 version without without going into details.

@bbildman I reported the same some time ago.
Some glitchy design where the background adapts to currently active wallpaper.

*So as a workaround you can play by selecting some wallpapers and then selecting back again your wished wallpaper.

DNA-120725 Parent menu’s item is invisible when expanded

Almost ok. But still parent menus still have the barely visible highlighting box. Sometimes (if there are more than two menu levels opened) 1st level's menu has the highlighting box but the 2nd one does not and the last one menu has it again.

*Also, the arrow itself > (along with folder icon and internal pages icons) is not white but some grey and toolbar's popups still have the barely visible dark text issue .

@andrew84 In Stable it looks more uglier because the shadow effect is also missed and additionally the address field stays white but the opened dropdown's background is changing after editing the theme.

In Edge also looks correctly.

@daria19 said in Opera 118.0.5419.0 developer update:

The current UI applies a shadow effect to the page overlay when the suggestions dropdown is opened

Sorry, I didn't get it.
Compare the normal effect (in pre One version) vs not normal where the suggestions dropdown merges (visually) with the toolbar and bookmarks bar.

I also encountered the issue with tab snoozing today despite of the feature being off.
Happened just after launching the browser and opening Settings page.

@kml82 you can only try using the old one pop-out

@cookie-drummer you mean that the suggestions dropdown's background color is not white but has some color accent depending on theme?

In developer it's white but in both Stable and Dev there's no shadow effect for the expanded dropdown.

@daria19 I also wanted to mention the links in dark mode but there's post already regarding this on forum.

*The particular issue is not a big problem for me personally because I edited theme to get the bright blue color (like in pre One version). But in this case contrast on the tabstrip (active tabs vs tabstrip background) is poor. Still think that in the classic theme the tabs background shouldn't be affected by themes color and should stay simply white in light mode (equal to the toolbar/bookmarks bar background)

@daria19 Was able to reproduce also on Win 10 22H2

*Btw, the feature itself is handy but the realization is still 'raw'.

@tastodd In my opinion it would be better using the same color for the both menus like previously, before the 'two leveled' color scheme implementation. Now It seems when they fix one, they break another and viсe versa

Menu items look ok in light mode but now the old issue is back again and parent menu's item is invisible (suggestion here is to remove the two level menu items highlighting).
In dark mode the issue still persists in SearchTabs dialog.

Edit:

Also in light mode the issue is still there for the toolbar popups (sites settings/extensions)

Regarding the 'The Music Player reaches the browser’s toolbar'
https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2025/01/opera-developer-bluesky-slack-discord/

1. I wonder that it still can't be simply dragged and dropped onto the toolbar and doesn't have a volume adjustments like was shown on demo (https://forums.opera.com/post/354720).
   And also can't moved and its position is fixed inside the toolbar.

2. After the mini player was moved there's no more possibility to 'pin' it using the mini player itself (instead of the three dots menu there's 'x' button).

3. Obviously, there's no need to show the control buttons all the time, and it'd be more helpful to show artist and song name (as running text) when cursor doesn't hover the player. Also, control buttons have no hover effect.
