      1st minor update of v67 and the black rectangle is still there. It seems that the complaint of just one user is not enough to bother the devs.

        Hi @jimunderscorep, it's doubtful, I mean it seems rather to be not so easy to fix in a proper way so far, and that's all about it. Fingers crossed ;-)

          Not one user. I report bug (DNAWIZ-88990) and rewriting with screenshot. πŸ˜‰
          In Opera Presto era I waited a while for the bug to fixed.

                The black frame is so creepy, it always reminds me of an obituary in the newspaper πŸ˜•

                      My black rectangle is white on your setup? Lol!
                      I noticed that you are using the dark theme on opera, so I switched to it out of curiocity, but it still shows up as black!

                        Have now tested this, but problems with the compositor occurred, hence the question whether there is another possibility - with a tweak maybe - to switch off the black frame?
                        Thanks for the help, in advance.

                          I am not developer, only user…

                          Currently you must activate the composer if you do not want a rectangle, when the bug is fixed, you can disable it.

                            I know πŸ™‚ Thx for your reply, but the trouble with Composer is to much, so I have to wait ... I guess 😞

                              Opera 69 was release yesterday on the developer channel and the (white) rectangle is still there.
                              I am now certain that the devs really want that useless "feature" to stay and they will probably force it upon us like they did with that hardcoded white gtk theme and the w10-look csd, closing their eyes to the users' comments. Shame...

                                Same thing on opera v68 that reached the beta channel yesterday.
                                Not that I had any hopes for a change...

                                I will probably remove opera once 68 reaches stable, since the issue will remain unfixed as it seems.

                                    Why does everyone that leaves opera wants to go to vivaldi? There are other chromium based browsers that are superior to this electron-based junk.

                                      For example? For my part I'm gonna say that Vivaldi is a good and also a safe Browser; I do not use Chrome or Chromium, and I don't really need Firefox πŸ˜‰

                                        It is the first time I mention that "other chromium based browser" here on the forums. It's brave and I will probably move to it when this issue here becomes a "wontfix" (= a label that mozilla puts on firefox bugs, which classify as features for it).

                                        I have mentioned 4 of its advantages over opera here, and (complimenting myself) I have contributed just a little bit to its development through github
                                        https://forums.opera.com/post/177054

                                        As for the why I am against vivaldi.
                                        For starters, I am against every single electron app. If you are a web designer, stick to web design. Do not call yourself an app developer if you have made (or used an existing) web page and turned it into an app through electron! There are dozens of articles on why electron sucks, but only advanced users care to read them as it seems.
                                        And second, vivaldi has a pretty sneaky way of solving that libffmpeg issue. At launch, it downloads ubuntu's chromium ffmpeg codec package, extracts it and places it in its folder. Why would a sane user want a package built for a different distro, with different libs and compiler?

                                            So opera 68 reached stable today and that ugly black rectangle is still there. What is worse, these 2 options in opera://config were reset to their default values.

                                            opera://flags/#enhanced-address-bar
                                            opera://flags/#smooth-scrolling
                                            

                                            I noticed them when I clicked the address bar and it got that "reborn look" and when I first scrolled at a page. Plus the I definitely had one or two more changes in opera://flags that are now reverted to defaults and I can't find them. Nice way of respecting your user's preferences...
                                            And all I did prior to that was to test the new feautres that were presented in
                                            https://www.opera.com/client/upgraded

                                            I will complete my move to brave and delete my account here by the end of the week, so ask me anything you want by then.

                                            ---edit
                                            Despite setting enhanced address bar to false, the reborn address bar continues to appear. Oh well...
