  It's great!!! you've fixed downloads! thank you

• pseudo555Wednesday, August 3, 2011 4:45:58 PM

  Nice one, but please, revert the pinned image you use.

• Danieledarklink88Wednesday, August 3, 2011 4:53:08 PM

  great work with Lion! opera feels very fast and the Ui seems to be very reactive too!
  Question: are you going to fully support the new scrollbars behavior in Lion?

• ep01Wednesday, August 3, 2011 4:53:25 PM

  nice snapshot !

  DSK-338873 (No visual transition between Speed Dial item's normal and hover states)

  
  This hover effect often remains visible under WinXP SP3.
  To reproduce, move the mouse in circles over speed dials.

  Thank you!! I'll try it.!!

  Any chance the Details button/dialogue for Opera as default browser settings will be working again in the near future?

  Found a small bug: If you click on the arrow next the the zoom bar and then scroll over 100% the selection shifts down. (in Win Vista)

  Was about to post this. Just move the mouse very fast to reproduce. Win7 64x.
  
  Also there's still the regession compared to pre-Featherweight that the Menu on the top left only opens when I release the mouse-button and and not when I hold it and pull the cursor down.

• minhoWednesday, August 3, 2011 5:17:43 PM

  Thanks!
  Testing!

• GrasliWednesday, August 3, 2011 5:19:58 PM

  Space between normal tabs is fine, but why did you reduce the space AFTER a tab-stack (and ABOVE to the stack-line)? WHY? Now that is LESS than between normal tabs, looks ugly. REVERT THAT CHANGE!
  
  And why did you make tabs bigger? Got used to the smaller one's now, they work better and take up less space..
  
  And the lower "line" of the address-bar needs to be 1pix bigger, as its currently smaller than the upper line. Should be 1px bigger, thus also the same as the Panel-bar like it should be!
  
  BUG;
  New-tab button jumps "up" when the last tab is a STACKED tab. What I mean is, its at a higher height when the last tab is a STACK than when its a normal tab..

  Nope, just XHTML served as text/html, thus non-closed in terms of HTML rules “<span class="odfLiEnd"/>” with line-height:0 brokes page. Probably HTML5 parser will fix that. Page is broken in IE too, but line-height just doesn't take an effect.

  DSK-340589 (Panel has Mac-backwards windows icon)

  
  
  
  More Mac pixel-perfection please

• Denis Wongrm20010Wednesday, August 3, 2011 5:42:12 PM

  Please consider adding back in the window borders for Windows Vista/7. A borderless design works in OS X and some *nix skins, which have a 1 pixel border, but it's ugly on Aero where the border is usually not opaque.

• Z1-AV69Wednesday, August 3, 2011 5:53:32 PM

  I just realized Opera is now using small icons in menus. Awesome! Thanks for fixing my skins.

• DustinKhadgarWednesday, August 3, 2011 6:00:59 PM

  Nice stuff. It'd be great to have the fullscreen icon in the top right of the window like all apps that support this feature do. This new Lion fullscreen integration is quite good. Cheers. Like Daniele my question is:
  
  What are the plans for supporting system wide scrollbar preferences?
  
  I'm not talking about just the new fangled automatic hiding stuff but old preferences that never were supported like clicking-on-the-scrollbar behavior. Opera only supports the "jump to the next page" preference and not the "jump to the spot that's clicked" one. I don't seem to remember whether smooth scrolling ever worked or not, but it doesn't at the present anyway.

• minhoWednesday, August 3, 2011 6:01:37 PM

  Scrolling is still very slow here.

  Some text on dark skins is now unreadable:

• earth01Wednesday, August 3, 2011 6:09:30 PM

  1) Freeze after deleting private data for the second time.
  EDIT : It's due to the "Delete plugin data" part.
  2) Crash after changing language for the second time.
  
  Thanks for the higher tabs (but there could - should ? - be less space between them and the top of the screen).
  The menu bar appearance can still be improved too.
  
  That's all folks !

• r13raphwengWednesday, August 3, 2011 6:10:22 PM

  If you go over the Speed Dial entries quickly and drag your mouse to the edge of the display, several Speed Dials will have and maintain the "hover" state (blue border-box).

• ricksperWednesday, August 3, 2011 6:14:59 PM

  Confirm crash when saving Windows intall file to download folder.

  When connecting to a remote debugger from a widget there appears a star icon instead of a spinner

• Dany74PLdany74Wednesday, August 3, 2011 6:16:43 PM

  It did not even start. Tries to load Speed dial icons and one of my speed dial links kills it instantly on startup I suspect
  
  Win7x64
  

• PengePenge4Wednesday, August 3, 2011 6:19:12 PM

  1. Right click on the Pagebar -> Tab Bar Placement -> Right/Left
  2. Enable Visual Tabs
  3. Open at least 10-12 tabs.
  4. The bottommost tab's title will slide below the status bar.
  
  ps: If the new tab button not been removed the new tab button will slide below statusbar.
  
  How to fix:
  
  [Pagebar Thumbnail Button Skin.right]
Clone = Pagebar Thumbnail Button Skin.left
Margin Left = 6
Margin Right = 2
Margin Top = 1
Margin Bottom = 0
  
  Bonus wish: Please make the Speed Dial more space-efficient. Like in these skins: Omelion, us.Opera.Fugue

  Agreed.. It's my feeling that the new red favicon is not in line with the new gray-ish theme of featherlight (personal opinion)

• Jernej SimončičеnderWednesday, August 3, 2011 6:51:01 PM

  Regarding skin: menubar background is now fine with Windows classic skin, but the text seems thinner than all other text. Also, there's no hilight on hover.
  
  However, the text in address bar and search drop-downs is still black, and thus invisible in my colour scheme.
  
  (and I agree that the red favicon looks out of place)

• Jeroen RooversyourruinreverseWednesday, August 3, 2011 6:51:32 PM

  Using two adjacent windows, pointing at a tab in the inactive window shows the tab preview on the tab bar of the active window.

  DSK-342558 (Crash on closing of download dialog)
  
  very very very good! nice work!

• John A. Bilicki IIIjabcreationsWednesday, August 3, 2011 6:54:16 PM

  YES! Thanks for fixing the normal file menu.
  
  Are you folks going to let us drag the icons from the sidebar to the main toolbar? That's the biggest GUI issue, pressing F4 all the time is an unnecessary step, I don't have to do that in Firefox.
  
  Everything is a single-click step away for me with the GUI set this way...
  http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5509/firefox5gui.gif
  
  Also there is some invisible small box that takes up space and can't be removed all the way to the left on the tabs toolbar, could you folks please get rid of it please? It's been there forever.
  
  Keep up the good work, it's appreciated.

• KaffeeseglerWednesday, August 3, 2011 6:56:41 PM

  Bravo! But scrolling (Lion) on pages like this is still much less smooth compared to Safari or Chrome: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3194235?start=135&tstart=0

  I like the bigger one, it's easier to click. What Opera Dev should do is remove the margin at the top of the tab IMHO. 100% Agree

  That's the problem with these types of things. Not everyone can be happy with everything.
  
  I agree that it doesn't fit the new monochrome theme, but I actually prefer the new red icon.
  
  
  Also, I noticed a minor bug that's been around for the last little bit. I described it here.

  That CAN'T be done because of tab STACKS, doh... tab stacks have a TOP GLASS LINE above the tabs if you didn't know, and those need the current space up there above the tabs to be shown.. See?
  
  Anyway, as I said earlier; why the reduction of space AFTER a stacked tab? It isn't uniform with the space after/between normal tabs anymore now then, looks bad! Same WITHIN the stacked tabs, space on top..
