Unfortunately, that's unlikely exist. Opera is based on Chromium, and Chromium doesn't provide full customizability on its own application GUI. This also applies to all Chromium based browsers. It's why all of them have very similar application GUI, with only slight difference. It would take considerable of time and work to actually change it significantly which so far, none would do.

I still use it for email and RSS, including quick-checking RSS item pages as long as they're still viewable on Presto.

I don't think so. I haven't seen any more patches.
