Usually I protect Opera and point to its bright sides when somebody tries to insult my favorite browser, but with release of Opera 12 I can't help it but look at Opera from the other side.

CSS3 gradients behave very similar as background images. That means you can't use CSS3 Transitions directly to create some "gradient animation". However, you can use CSS3 gradients together with background-color property.

In latest snapshot of Opera (b2014) we can see that developers in Opera want to improve speed dial. Unfortunately, it seems that they started with improving something that everybody likes (ok, perhaps not everybody, but I think that most of us like more the old version of speed dial with fixed layout) and some things that should be improved are still same as before.
