Controversial posts made by hucker

@andrew84 something like this could work for tab islands (top is when you have your cursor on the address bar and bottom not)

I still don't like that the active tab is too dim, but with this visual connection, it would make it easier to spot

This connection would also fix the weird under glow on selected non-islanded tabs

What on earth is that? You've got the word speed dial in a kaleidoscope. Why would I want one thing repeated 8 times?

@donq said in Opera slow to load:

Extensions sometimes update themselves.

Everyone is having the same problem at the same time, it's Opera. Opera is broken. Again. Just as well it isn't paid for software. I guess that's why they use cheap programmers that can't get a real job.

Why does the "This site can’t be reached" error page suggest I should fix something? This page is most often displayed because the remote server is down. Please don't make people mess around with things and break them. The first thing on that page should be "check if other sites work ok".

@hucker I've read through this thread and I feel compelled to add that it is "you" who might not understand the term "obnoxious." Why so animated? Chill out a bit. It's a browser, after all, not a life-altering issue. Relax.

Why do you confuse disagreement with anger? All I've done is disagree. I've not called anyone any names. Why exaggerate? Stating I think someone is wrong is not obnoxious.

Now if I was to call you a pathetic softy Canadian, that would be obnoxious.

@leocg said in Where is "file, open" in Opera?:

@anawilliam There is no File.

And why not? The most important menu in any program.

@leocg The problem is most likely not local, so it's a stupid assumption to make. Before jumping to conclusions, perhaps Opera should test some random connections?

@hucker ah yes, true. I forgot you decided to stick to v99. That explains the confusion. There are no vertical lines here. These divisions is what they call "tab islands"

They are vertical lines, I see vertical bars of colour. Those cannot look differrnt on your end, it's a picture attachment, we both see the same.

You see, since version 100, now it's possible to group tabs.

Why on earth would you want to do that? Extra complications.

What @andrew84 and I were discussing is the fact that on current version, their choice for pseudo-modularization forced them to make the interface have floating buttons instead of actual tabs like the ones you showed in your picture.

And what I see on your example has faded out text, why?

This is what the tab grouping looks like right now on version 104:

Here are 3 groups, two of them with 2 tabs and one with three. There is also another tab that is alone, without a group. The center one in the group with 3 tabs is the selected tab.

It just looks like a vague mess. One tab is wider for no reason, the lettering fades out, and I can't see any divider between each one.

The discussion was about making the connection of the selected tab to the tab's content more visible even if inside a group, so my proposal for fixing that, would be to connect the group with rounded outwards corners and the selected tab, which coincidentally has the same colour as the address bar, then connect to the address bar. This would make it much more visual than what we have now and still maintain the grouping functionality available. Groups that are not selected can stay floating

Nothing should float, that's a silly gimmick.

@leocg said in General Opera Feedback Topic:

Just remembering that this topic is for (general) feedback on Opera, eventual issues should be discussed in their own topics.

We're giving feedback on the mess caused by version 100 and why it should be withdrawn immediately. Version 100 causes issues, those are part of the feedback and are appropriate in here.

I can't interpret what you thought you meant by your post.

@gnezmo It's the same with all programs nowadays, add more features, then fix stuff later, the user is the tester. And nevermind how slow it runs, everyone has supercomputers. Just blame them for having a machine over a year old!

@darthgtb What? I'm just trying to understand what I'm looking at. All the tabs are fading underneath each other, it looks like what you'd see when drunk. And what are the coloured vertical lines? Now Opera 99 had proper tabs, see how I can read them properly?
