@andrew84 said in Opera 69.0.3686.21 beta update:

for me the dropdowns in Settings are ugly in light mode too (I'm on Windows).
compare not ugly (how it looks now in 68) vs ugly (with the bold black border for selected item)

This is a legacy from Chromium 83

@temkem: Bad. So no chances fixing it without Chromium's intervention ?
Edge for example has fully restyled dropdowns.

@andrew84 Not sure if it was said, but Chromium recently took in a bunch of form control styling fixes/improvements provided by Microsoft. to make them look better and function better. Things like the ugly drop-downs might be a result of that.

@burnout426 Thanks fot the info. Edge (latest on 85 Chromium) for example uses own style (I don't know if this is from Microsoft styles) for the dropdowns, but on the flags page dropdowns have the same same issue (black border + flicker while expanding).

*And they could fix the scrollable right click menus at least, before promoting 69 version to Stable.

I think that Opera GX workspaces icons aren't good. Maybe the contrast should be greater as in regular Opera. Maybe the background color should be brighter.

I'm tryng to access some services using my google account, but I can't. Same services I can access using facebook or twitter, but they don't work with google account. Using other browsers (vivaldi, chrome, yandex, edge) it's working. So I ask: is google blocking Opera's users to use google account to login in another services?

@kened Logging into Google works fine for me in this build. So does using Google to log into Duolingo and Stackoverflow.

@kened Are you using Opera Sync to sync things between all those Operas? Have you tried with a fresh profile without enabling sync in it?

@burnout426: Yes. All versions are synced. I gonna try without sync.

@burnout426: It seems that the article is what you're talking about.
https://blog.chromium.org/2020/03/updates-to-form-controls-and-focus.html
Looks like the ugly dropdowns this is indeed the result of 'improving' form controls because it's available in 83 Chromium by default (form-controls-refresh flag) .
I disabled the flag #form-controls-refresh and dropdowns look nice again (not flickering, no black border).
