Yea...I have the latest version of Opera, and it works fine for me.

Uch, I hate the 8 version (have it at work), the Xs are bad (as you see, I got alot of tabs open, its a big mess with it when I suddenly close a tab >,<) so I never bothered to upgrade opera on my home PC
You're using an older version of Opera just because you don't like the close tab X's? Wow. You don't even have to use the X's to close a tab, I just go down-right with the mouse (turn on the mouse gestures).
As for the layout...I have no comment except it has 2 things I hate - completely black fonts (at least use a dark gray...I hate black fonts. People think it goes well with everything...I think it's way too contrasting) and 2) bright blue links. And when they're combined, it really hurts my eyes
I don't like the low opacity background image either. Changing skins should mean changing the color of the layout...not switching out a 10 percent opacity image or something.
Sorry, but...I really don't like the new look. The content is still top quality though..I come here to read, not look anyways. Just keep up the news coverage
