Hmm I can't/don't see any animations when switching workspaces, other than the workspace icon changing which, having just checked on older version, is the same as before.

I'm not overly sold on the new look, because I like the plainness of the older version, but I've been trying out the developer version before this so I knew it was coming. On the other hand it's not so radically different and the things I don't particularly like (some of the wallpapers) I can ignore: changing icons on the speeddial doesn't seem to work.

On my Opera Account page when I select view synchronized data, I was expecting to see an account page with all all the items that are in sync (categorized). Instead this now takes me back to sync settings, which are then reset to "do not sync data", and I Have to start the sync process again. This is in addition to the connecting flow between devices problem which it seems several people are having trouble with. For me part problem is that it logs me out and so I keep having to log in again.

@topmar Pleasure.
Woo! I actually answered a questioned rather than just ask ones that have been asked before.

I was playing with the settings of opera, changing the language to something other than English, as I'm learning another language. On the Mac this doesn't change the menu items because that's done on system settings which is a step too far for me on immersive language experience; but the search engine is now in the new language. How does the search engine pick up the browser setting for language?

@rob-b So I get the animation on Mac and my Windows Laptop, but on my desktop machine at work the worspaces just switch as they used to with no animation.

@rob-b I would also add that youtube and facebook also come up in the language I chose (not so keen on that)

@yoavash There is a thread elsewhere about flow not working properly.

I am definitely seeing the same problem as you on both Mac and Windows when I had no problems connecting before with the older version of Opera.

@leocg I have a similar Problem. I've had no problem connecting before. My phone reads the QR code, I then have to log in to my account, the usual code check does not appear on my Windows*, I can then add a page from my Windows machine, My android acknowledges the shared page, but then there are no connections on my Windows machine, amd I have to start the process again.

• It's been a while since I had to reconnect devices so if I remember right, a code appears on both devices to check the connection.

Has the feature of the floating pallet been disabled from the sidebar? Also although I can connect to Spotify, but it doesn't work in the sidebar. Opening it opens a new tab for logging in, but doesn't allow me to play from the side bar. Other sites Deezer/Soundcloud do connect in sidebar but there is no longer the floating pallet.

@SergioRoda I had to install .NET v.8.0.16 from Microsoft on my Windows 10 laptop, which seems to have sorted it, I think. I only tried it quickly after installation.

Though not for this thread I've had problems with MacOs since the VPN Pro upgrade on 1st July.

Not working since upgrade.
MacOS Big Sur asks for Mac password with message: needs to finish installation. Noting happens uninstalled vpn pro app and opera and then reinstalled, nothng.

Macos Monterey: in Network settings doesn't show connection, tries and fails but if I connect from App, nothing is shown on menu bar i.e. time connected, no connection shown in Network Settings but if I check ip address it seems I am connected

Windows 10 no connection: windows error message

Dont know who'll read this as we're replying to @Opera Comments Bot

Do not use. Yes it blocks adults sites but if you click its ""save settings" button it takes you to insecure websites (including pornhub) and other sites which are not secure. Adware, steer clear of this.

@bostro-x Is this happening after you try to sync Flow via the side bar?

I've ben having problems like this, and found (so far, but haven't really put it to the test) that things seems to be better if I sync everything using opera.com/connect

@sttst No there isn't. The only sync mechanism is to use Flow, which has limited use and a lot of people, but not everyone seem to be having trouble getting this to connect properly in Opera One (me included).

The other way, possibly, is to look at sync.opera.com while logged into your account which shows you your book marks etc. There you might get access. I cant display this page on my device which may be because I don't have an up to date iOs; so this may or may not be a work around.

The bottom line is that flow is the only syncing option. I think there are plenty of threads which show frustration with this.

@yoavash There is a thread elsewhere about flow not working properly.

I am definitely seeing the same problem as you on both Mac and Windows when I had no problems connecting before with the older version of Opera.

@pzygmanski I just tried with another installation I have with the language set to Norwegian and Aria translates to Norwegian, I also changed the main language to French and translation was in French. So if your main language you use the browser in is English then you will have to use another translator like Google/Bing (I use an extension ae which is fairly useful)

@dusty-bin-0 Ok my misunderstanding.
I was trying to find something that was consistent; with app open and sitting on dock. However, when I opened up my computer one app opened a window anyway ( and a couple of other) and opera didn't. It seems a bit random to me.

On my machine, if I minimise Opera it seems to stay minimised when I switch on but does a strange little maximise minimise maximise dance when I select it. I've tended to ignore the irritation of an open window because I seem to have a problem with vpnpro if I don't, and as ninety per cent of the time I'm just using Opera I put with.

My Mac doesn't support Ventura, so I'm only as far as Monterey, which I don't really like for some reason.

Sorry I can't be much more help than that.

@dusty-bin-0 A bit more playing and I've got something consistent.
"Open windows on restart "selected when you shut down,
Close window but don't quit programs when you shut down.

That seems to work
