Just started using Opera GX and I love the video pop out features but really wish there was an option to adjust opacity level for the transparency feature because sometimes its a bit too transparent personally. That said it is nice to be able to see behind it. Other than that I really wish there was a pin feature to lock the pop out window in place preventing accidentally dragging it and alllowing the user to click through the window to the software beneath it(maybe wwith a lock icon toggle button to indicate both control buttons (i.e. video sound, time seek scrool bar, back to tab, etc.) and the pop up window movement being locked. Alternatively it could show small text indicating a key command to unlock it. This functionality would make it fantastic for following along with video tutorials when using/learning software especially if someone only has a single device. Which also would be very useful for anyone taking online university courses or just wanting to see their video conferencing call over their software without it getting in the way. In general while it is a small inconveniece to click and drag the window out of the way to click something beneath it, over time it adds up so I think many would find this feature very useful. Honestly these suggestions seemed so obvious to me I wouldn't be surprised if they were implemented already and I just didn't know about it but everything I found relating to it online seems to imply this is not the case and I couldn't find anything relating to it in the settings so just thought I would post a feature request here. While I'm at it, I wish Opera GX had split screen and tab islands like opera one has and I know workspaces sort of serve the functinon that tab islands do but opera one has both which I found convenient so I don't really understand why gx didn't get either of these features implemented.
