Opera reveals R3 design changes in latest Opera Developer browser

[harlan4096]

Opera Software released a new version of the Opera Developer web browser that incorporates some of the upcoming Opera R3, or Reborn 3, changes.

The company put up a teaser on a webpage on the official Opera website recently that simply stated that a new standard would be coming soon to Opera.

The first two waves of Opera Reborn introduced interface changes and other changes to the browser.  Opera Reborn 3, R3, is no exception to the rule.

Opera Software incorporated design changes in the latest Opera Developer version that are part of R3; these design changes will come to Beta and Stable versions of the web browser eventually.

Opera calls the first stable version of R3 the first Web 3-ready desktop browser, whatever that means.

One of the major design changes that R3 offers is that Opera tried to put the focus on the web content by putting it "center stage". Opera R3 comes with a light and dark theme that are optimized for that; Opera engineers removed dividing lines and other distractions in the UI.

The design was inspired by "high-key and low-key lighting photography" -- two systems to maximize or minimize the light in photos -- according to Opera.
