Opera 10 Beta 2

, , , ...

Today we released Opera 10 Beta 2. This beta contains updates to the skin and icons by Jon Hicks and a new little secret you might be able to find if you are unable to find the page you are looking for :whistle:

This Beta does not contain Opera Unite as that was released as a Labs snapshot and not as a beta. If you take a look at the banner up top you can see that the labs build will merge with the current Beta to create the upcoming Opera 10! Opera Unite is still being worked on, so have no fear!

The desktop crew wants to thank all of you for submitting through the new Automated Crash Reporting tool. By helping us you are improving the stability of Opera so that Opera 10 can be the most stable browser ever!

Initially, a new skin wasn't planned for Opera 10. We were just going to do a 'clean-up' of some elements and focus on UI for new features. However, over time, the new UI elements started jarring with the 9.5 skin, and steadily everything started getting updated. In particular, there were a lot of icons that were just plain fuzzy - they weren't following pixel lines well and the anti-aliasing made them blurry. Almost all the icons have been replaced, and by the time the final release is out they'll all be revised. :sherlock:
