    Glad to see the menu button now can be changed to have no text.yes cheers

    It is a bit too small right now. I like the size it has in v11.11. Other than that keep up the good work.up

    Featherweight skin fixes cheers
  • Galileo24. June 2011, 17:37

    Using Opera next 1071, F4 and panel button creates a lot of cpu usage and freezes Opera for 2-3 seconds. Also i liked a darker tab bar but this one is too grey for me.

    Would love to see a list of featherweight skin fixes =)

    Sadly DSK-340177 still persist, and the issue also involves the "new tab" button.
  • nimu_channimuchan24. June 2011, 17:38

    Wowww....Very cool! Thank you! sing
  • blackcaeser24. June 2011, 17:38

    Thanks for fixing the menu button problem so quickly!
  • Daniel HendrycksDanielHendrycks24. June 2011, 17:39

    This fixed the small toolbar icon issue, thanks!
    Nice skin fixes!
    F4 causes 24% CPU usage, for a moment.
  • Jernej Simončičеnder24. June 2011, 17:40

    Menubar colour in Windows Native theme is now kinda broken - background is somewhere between grey and my actual menu background, and text is black. Also, text in addres bar and search field dropdowns is still black, and thus invisible on my black background.
  • Pim MoltzerPimz24. June 2011, 17:41

    Most of the skin issues on Mac are fixed. The new skin really is a giant leap forward on Mac. Love the 'tab fold'. One issue remains: the 'loading' animation in the tabs starts again every time you move your mouse over the tab. Not a release blocker though.
  • Leo Posasleoposas24. June 2011, 17:41

    what is the difference between Opera Next and the Swordfish version?

    Which i've to use? Thanks mates.!
  • sTeeVeboY24. June 2011, 17:41

    Massive CPU consuption with extension manager being open!

    This IS a release blocker!

    Laggy scrolling, response time when highlighting different buttons is very slow!

    If minimized, window resizing is stuttering like hell.
  • Muhammad-Ubaid razamubaidr24. June 2011, 17:41

    Hovering animation on extension page is still slow, which cause slow scroling if cursor is place in line(verticaly) with icons of extensions.
  • GREYGREYchan24. June 2011, 17:43

    1. Still I can't click O-menu in the upper-left corner.
    2. Address bar is to high and vertically asymmetric. http://img.nopaste.pl/upload/ugly_asymmetry_4e04cc809b996.png
  • r13raphweng24. June 2011, 17:43

    Speed Dial thumbnails still blurry after enabling and then disbaling the panel Win 7 64bit.
  • Obese MauriceObeseMaurice24. June 2011, 17:46

    O menu button is much more beautiful! But it should be a few pixels wider IMO (version without text).

    Works when you exit Opera and start it again
  • Paulproxxy24. June 2011, 17:50

    Cannot open new tab inside a tab-stack (in a page from tab-stack, middle click on a link, makes new tab outside stack).

    Opera Next button was prettier in previous release.
  • asfaltas24. June 2011, 17:50

    This feature is not implemented.rolleyes
  • unodgs24. June 2011, 17:53

    Can someone tell me what was the point of making OperaNext if almost every time I have to manually download the next build? Even if I chose Help->Check for updates nothing is found. Maybe this is not directly related to this snapshot but this is really annoying.
  • Sam Van den VonderHuRRaCaNe24. June 2011, 17:55

    Translation error



    Should be "Door te klikken op" instead of "Door de klikken op"
    (Language is "Nederlands" (dutch))
  • Refreshrefresz24. June 2011, 17:56

    regarding UI I'd like to have:
    1. statusbar with aero glass (like in 11.50 previous to featherweight)
    2. more narrow main bar (the one with address bar, prev/fw buttons etc)
    3. shorter tabs (the space above them is way too big)
  • RoadHazard24. June 2011, 17:58

    Menu button and tab cycler fixed, thanks!

    In Opera 11.11 it works.
  • RicardoRicardoB24. June 2011, 17:59

    • It would be nice to have an arrow to open the drop-down list of Address Bar!
    • Is the only difference between Next and Std packages that Next contains "Opera Product=1" in operaprefs_default.ini ?
    • What is the difference between "Opera Product=1" and "Opera Next=1"?
    • If all files are the same, why two packages are needed? Why not simply use a single package and the differences being controlled by the above setting?
    • Panel Toggle at left is not using Theme Color; and buttons at the left space are using 2px more than they should at bottom:

    on the bookmarks favicons quality is very very bad.Please look at this picture and Opera,warezbb,zamunda,live mail image quality.And sometimes these icons disappear.looking blank.Especialy facebook,tumblr icons.
    Please fix.
  • Angel ChaconNintendofanatic24. June 2011, 18:09

    When I apply my own theme (which has a value for Color under [Browser Window Skin]), the color of the tab bar background doesn't change. This didn't happen in the previous build.

    Can any one else confirm? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04.
  • r2x0t24. June 2011, 18:11

    More bugs:
    DSK-340321 [Impossible to reorder tabs due to stacking]
    1. Have 3 open tabs
    2. Drag tab #3 and try to put it between tab #1 and #2

    What should happen:
    * Tabs will be re-ordered as #1, #3, #2.
    * No stacks will be created.

    What happens:
    * Tab is stacked with tab #3.
    * This should happen ONLY when tab is dropped over tab and not between tabs.
    * Opera needs to apply different action according to where tab is dropped - be it over the tab (stack) or at space between tabs (insert tab here)

    **EDIT**: Works in clean install, but not when updating current main 11.0 opera installation.


    ... and also in RC3, menu have gray background that looks weird when using "Opera Standard" skin: http://puu.sh/2OY3
  • IQ10Unknown-opera24. June 2011, 18:12

    The gray button menu seems weird ... I don't really like it.

    That is a fix not a bug. We don't have auto-stacking implemented.

    Try setting the Chrome drag area to zero. No problem here.

    Confirmed here.
    But strangely, it does not happen when Opera is maximized.
  • andol24. June 2011, 18:16

    This build introduces new issue: if you place the Panels toolbar on top, and if you have 2 rows of icons - the second row will be overlapped by the first one.

    You're right. It's too small and doesn't look good, but, if you're using normal Opera, not Opera Next, leave it as is "image with text on right". It's just perfect and normally small, cute.

    If you're using Opera Next, yes, with text is too big. So, the balance is on default Opera's one.

    Zoom slider inactive in chat-window. Missing window-border in standard and native skin, costum-icons not loaded.

    I think that's the best word in dutch for 'Installer'. I can't actually think of any other word that would be more suitable. So I'm fine with that.
  • Satan D. Lucifersupertrol24. June 2011, 18:19

    The transparent "O" menu is better in windows 7 than the gray "O" menu in this build

    as i like the default interface of opera standard..i dont want to change a skin just for that

    revert it back atleast but with the changelog in this build

    "O" menu transparent is better
  • vilpapa24. June 2011, 18:19

    Fixes UI freezes related to panels and certain skins


    When moving the buttons on other toolbars or remove buttons from the panel, crash on exit.
  • Denis Wongrm2001024. June 2011, 18:20

    Before releasing the final product, please consider padding the left and right edges of the chrome on Windows Vista/7. The appearance is quite jarring if you have a light background.

    Also, not sure if it also happens on this build, but in the RC sometimes when I launch the browser, hit CTRL+SHIFT+N to open a private window, close the first window, then type an address and hit Enter, sometimes the URL breaks out of a private tab and opens in a normal tab.
