What's so hard about that? Go to Settings, click on Advanced > Browser, scroll down to Downloads and click the Change button.

Yes, the guide is out of date and is referring to the old, Presto-based Opera Suite that was abandoned at version 12.18 years ago. Current Opera is based on Chromium and everything is different. It's a whole new browser compared to the old one. opera.com has both https://www.opera.com/help and https://help.opera.com/ for help documents. The latter though might contain old documents if you come from Google search results. But, if you goto https://help.opera.com/ or https://help.opera.com/en/latest/, you should get help documents for current Opera. As for Themes, Opera currently doesn't support Themes except for two that are included in Opera (Light (default) and Dark). It just has support for Wallpapers. You can adjust them by clicking the Easy-Setup button at the top-right of the start page (opera://startpage is the URL). Or, you can click the Menu button at the top-left of Opera, goto Settings and look under the "Wallpapers" section. You can get to it directly by going to the URL opera://settings/wallpapers. There's also a "Dark Theme" option under the "Appearance" section in settings. Off means it uses the light theme. You can get to it directly via the URL opera://settings/appearance. You can also toggle between the Light and Dark Theme via the Easy Setup button on the start page. In the settings for Wallpapers, you'll see that you can add your own from a local file or goto https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/?order=recommended to get extra ones made by Opera and ones made by others.

Sadly, you can't do it without an extension. I hope we get a update soon to make custom search engine by default. First install: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/install-chrome-extensions After, install this addon: (From the Chrome Webstore) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nocountryredirect-ncr/ciboebddidackjicoeoiigdnbmchkdll?hl=en

@webdbase Thanks so much, this worked! Of course it's just a quick temp fix but I'd still like to see Opera address this issue. Thanks again.

@dennism said in Opera VPN not working in UAE: For the last 4 days the VPN service is not working, I just get an 'orange' VPN and it just says 'connecting' - but it never does? I have cleared the cache, checked my virus software, cleared that as well amd done a re-install of opera - still no VPN? What is wrong? ... I suggest directing your attention to an earlier post regarding VPN problems that I made in the https://forums.opera.com/topic/30470/vpn-not-working thread, copied below: Opera currently operates its own VPN servers; it used to use SurfEasy's when the VPN capability was first included in the browser. That change resulted in Opera offering only regional connections instead of country connections. In using a VPN, multiple steps (and factors) are involved. When you employ Opera's VPN option, the browser obtains proper credentials and talks to the IP of a specified Opera proxy server, using an https connection (which inherently includes https encryption). When a user makes connection to a website URL, Opera's browser VPN mode sends packets to the IP of the VPN server using proxy-authorization request headers over the https connection. The VPN server performs a DNS lookup of the URL to obtain the website's IP and contacts that site. Site data is received by the VPN server, encrypted by https, and sent to the user, who then views the site as if he were able to visit it directly. Things that might block the VPN from functioning would include: Defective/corrupted https certificates for the VPN server as accessed by the browser, or unavailability on the user's system of the necessary encryption protocols specified by the cert and/or VPN server. Blockage by the ISP or regional Internet backbone of the IP of Opera's VPN server. Interference by the ISP or regional Internet backbone with proxy-authorization request headers in general. Problems with the VPN server's DNS lookup of the user-sought URL. VPN server problems in general. Problems with a website responding to a particular VPN's IP (either intentional or accidental). For regional VPN problems, special attention should be paid to items 2 and 3. Problems from those two causes are outside of Opera's ability to unilaterally remedy, and can only be resolved by the user directly consulting his ISP and/or regional Internet authorities (if that is deemed to be personally safe in that locale). An alternative might be to try to get through using another VPN service - not all of them may be blocked at any given time.
