Opera dark theme

Good afternoon.
For easier work on the computer, I turned on dark mode in the browser of the opera, dark modes of sites (via extension), a dark theme of Windows.
However, in the Opera browser in a few cases, the dark mode does not work.
Example 1. The moment of opening of any site. The background is white.
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HQGf/VFcfPqzGZExample 2. The site does not function.

I ask the developers to correct these examples. I ask you to change the background to dark in these examples.

You think you know, but you have no idea.

Example 3. Browser settings.
Put this in the address bar and hit enter:
opera://flags/#new-md-settingsEnable that setting. When you are using Dark Theme, the settings are dark. When you are using Light Theme, the settings are light.

@acidinmyfridge This expansion is already worth it
@smsmith Did. Now the settings have become black, but before that, a white background opens for half a second. Also the left menu has disappeared.
@leocg You are not quite right. Before opening any page (Express panel, site) for half a second appears the white background of the browser itself. While on the Express panel I have a default dark background.

Yeah, that's how the Material Design settings will work, no menu, you'll just scroll down through the settings. It's a tradeoff.
The white flash is always going to happen, since the white background is the blank window before loading a page. Opera would need to change that for the dark theme. I understand your frustrations though. If you're going for all dark and then suddenly have a blinding flash of white, even for as short as it is, it can be pretty jarring. In the meantime, maybe just close your eyes when you click to open the settings page?

I am also having this issue, and it is incrediblyu painful as I am sensitive to bright white light.
I really hope developers actually read this forum. The solution is pretty simple from a devs point of view: https://github.com/hbtlabs/chromium-white-flash-fix/commit/b1c4d8efd43fa46c61b9dc695f387f41a16947fb
They need to set that if the theme is dark.

I just upgraded from Opera 49 to 56, using dark mode in Windows 7 and the #reborn-win7-aero-skin flag set to Disabled.
It seems that this flag has been removed in O56. As the result, the background of the title bar is not black as before (O49), but transparent, like the default setting in Win7. It is very ugly to have black tabs in the left and transparent the rest of the title bar.
Any ideas to bring the black background back? -

White flashes disappeared when the browser was updated to the latest versions.
Unfortunately, the settings were not updated (the Advanced menu did not appear in the settings), and I had to completely reinstall the browser.
After reinstalling the browser, it turned out that Install Chrome Extensions is not working
https://github.com/operasoftware/chrome-webstore-extension/issues/24
and Dark Reader cannot be installed.
