The idea of new themes is amazing! It's actually a huge wallpaper which covers your entire browser window!

This is sweet!

I've been using it for the past few hours. The browser is very smooth and fast! I think it will be my new "alternate browser". Good bye Firefox.

This is nice. I'm going to install and use Opera again.

[Chrominator]

Opera is definitely better than Firefox now!

I used to like Opera. It was crazily light and swift but ....

Hmmm, anyway, I'm supposed to try it.

It looks that beautiful.

Scrolling actually IS improved.

What's wrong with scrolling?

What's wrong with scrolling?

If you got sites with big flash adds mouse wheel scrolling will become very laggy.

maybe you just have a cheap computer.

I got a E6600, 4GB and a AMD 6870. Not the latest, but fast enough (I think).
11.64 did not have this problem, use the scrollbar is ok, but using the scrollwheel is laggy...

i sense that using a separate process for using plugins for a browser doesnt work perfectly as flash has begun to stop working unsuspectedly some times now since Opera began using a separate plugin process. Same result for Chrome.
