It’s been a long time since we have seen any significant changes made to Opera browsers design. But now the Opera Desktop Team has posted an updated version of Opera 9.5 beta which features a shiny new black theme.
So what’s new in this theme?
You’ll find an all new black toolbar with a glossy look. A new set of icons have been added. There’s an animated stop/refresh button that turns red when a page is loading, and green when it’s finished. There’s an all new sidebar which allows you to launch widgets, view bookmarks, etc. It can be customized according to your needs.
The most eye candy and the best change that I found is the Tab button. The Tab button has a “+” button on its right side which allows you to open a new tab instantly. There’s also a red “x” button on the top corner of every tab which allows you to close the tab.
Overall I feel it’s a good move by Opera to change the look. Now, it looks like there’s some good competition in terms of look with Firefox. There’s still a lot of work to be done to get a great theme though.
