September 30, 2010 · by Aleksander Aas

Developers rejoice! The next generation of Opera Dragonfly is out in an experimental release through Opera Labs. This experimental version is a work in progress version, but if you want to give it a spin it's easy.

Don't worry, you can always click Default to restore the original Dragonfly path.

Enter opera:config#DeveloperTools|DeveloperToolsURL in the address field.
Change the path to https://dragonfly.opera.com/app/stp-1/experimental/
Click Save. No restart required!

In the labs article they also released a design preview featuring cool new graphics and wireframes. If you are a developer or just use Dragonfly to help style your blog, be sure to check out this next evolution!

If I may suggest something a very useful enhancement for JavaScript command line would be some code assist.

looks great, but icons on the top are a bit to high > 128px is overkill, ~64 would do too, and it would probably save a bit of space to move "heritage" of selected element to the top, beside of the "settings buttons"?

yes, it was more easy before, an option for switch between the two modes would be a good idea - at least ,that the copy paste works

Brr, GUI looks like an ugly mix of Mac OS and Gnome ...

Still a great and awesome tool tough (but now also in ugly version) !

There are many things a user can do to get the functionality they want like that, but it still should be included.
