What are you talking about, Opera does not even have real extensions. SuperC: “This “big new feature” ……. well Opera has had it for some time now.”

Yes, you still have the option to "use small icons" when customizing the toolbars which at this moment are still the old icons. I suspect these will be fully updated too by the time beta 3 is released. I must say it does not look as weird as I thought it would. My most needed extensions work with it too for the most part with a few quirks, but I am sure they will get better the closer we get to release. Hey xpgeek, I am using the latest nightly right now.

Looks great here on XP Royale. “I definitely don’t like how that theme looks on Vista, and I don’t think it would look all that much better on XP.
