@eugene-b but that green text 'Opera Software....' still looks too thin/big to me. Also that green text is not centered with vpn, badge icons and address bar text.

Move the vpn icon (or other if vpn is disabled) closer to the left address bar's border, make the same space like between the heart icon and the right border

For me that green "Opera Software AS ..." is too wide, big and showy. And the other font? I don't see any difference. But it is not so important for me.

@ralf-brinkmann: probably you don't see any difference because you have 'reborn3' dropdown disabled in flags. Now with the enabled flag it looks in the same way as with disabled (but that green text is still not great).

"DNA-80584 Closing active tab – the last active tab should be shown" still does not work if the active tab was opened by clicking a link in an external program (e-mail client, usenet client, external pdf-reader ...). Instead the focus goes to the last tab on the far right.

suggestion: add search engines choice on new r3 dropdown at the bottom like in old dropdown (here it could be round icons), don't cut its functionality.

Oh, you are right. It is disabled.

Reborn disabled:

Reborn enabled:

I miss the lower line under the url when enabled. The font is nearly the same.

@ralf-brinkmann I can see the difference on your pictures, but here (Win8x64) that underline is visible in both cases.

And I don't like this darkening when I type a new url or search term into the address bar.

Did you know, that you can use Chromium's opera:flags#enable-force-dark flag (several options) in Opera Dev/beta, and it will work also on internal pages (including this SD page - you can see it, when you disable wallpapers) ;-)

@l33t4opera: yes, but how to expand it to Opera UI? I mean toolbar, menus , popups.

@andrew84 When you enable the Opera's dark mode you will have a full dark mode browser (also for websites, without any extension), though it will look different then, for the UI and internal pages of course ;-)

@l33t4opera: sorry, I misread it that the flag is for Web Content. I remember there was an similar option to 'force' the dark theme (for the UI) but that was a switch for the shortcut (it worked for Chrome, but didn't work in Opera)

By the way, that 'forced' dark theme looks better than in Opera (in Edge it's even more better). Items have light gray selection instead of white, borders are shadowed and also not so noticeable when in gray color (in Opera borders are strange blue) and it looks better (almost all companies understand this, not only browsers: YouTube in dark mode, Adobe, graphic editors and many others use the light gray selection instead of that 'stroboscopic' white)

And if understand it right, it's default chromium's dark mode.

Hi @andrew84, yes the flag you mentioned is not working from the command line.

'forced' dark theme looks better than in Opera

Yes, that's why I wrote, it will be different, when you enable both - the flag and the dark mode in the Opera. Also, without telling what is better or worse, because both implementation seems to be still work in progress.

@l33t4opera I'm using it. One of the best recent features in my opinion, although it has space for improvement.
