Opera did have the skin in the release candidate (only 2 days before launch):
[my.opera.com...]

And had the skin in the weekly builds:
[my.opera.com...]

I can see were they are going with the interface, the new skin looks a lot like there new version of Opera Mobile which is yet to be released, but some versions of it have been leaked on the net.

I personally like the new skin its actually the first time I haven't replaced the default skin.
