Thanks, I tested but to no avail.

Since #force-color-profile is back in latest Chrome, I expect it to return in Opera soon.

@l33t4opera said:

you can try to run the Opera with "--force-color-profile" switch, for example --force-color-profile=srgb.

Am I doing correct by editing the shortcut?

C:\Users\vegel\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe --force-color-profile=srgb

Opera.exe does not have a target field to change:

C:\Users\vegel\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\70.0.3728.71\opera.exe

@vegelund Are you per chance launching Opera by clicking the automatically created shortcut on the desktop or pinned to taskbar? That shortcut generally points to the specific Opera ver 70.0.3728.71 etc, instead of to the launcher.

Try creating a shortcut to the launcher itself, on your desktop or taskbar, and launch Opera using that. In that case the argument appended to the launcher shortcut should apply.

@odinprokhozhiy Perhaps it wasn't clear enough. In point 3 I meant the "2.15x" folder, which you need to copy outside the "Extensions" directory, and rename it to something else. It should work, it's working here. Anyway, since you are reverted to Opera 69 and you are fine with it, it's ok. However, please keep in mind, that it's not recommended to use older main version mainly for the security reasons.

@vegelund It looks correct. It could be wrong, if the path to the launcher.exe includes some spaces. In that case, you should put it within "...".

Anyway, have you tried already to enable another flag the "opera:flags#forced-colors" ? Some people say, that it helped them in such of cases.

@l33t4opera Thanks.

Opera\launcher.exe --force-color-profile=srgb has a space between .exe and --force

No space or ... is not accepted. #forced-colors does nothing on my system.

@vegelund The space beetwen the path and switch is mandatory - necessary to make is work. If there's no spaces in the path, the quotation marks should not be needed.
The flag seems to be working here with or without quotes, also with different values e.g. "color-spin-gamma24".
Maybe you can check if it works, when you put "srgb" in quotation marks.
Anyway, AFAIK "srgb" may not work for every graphics card.

No worries, I’ll just wait for #force-color-profile to return.

sRGB has always worked before under normal settings, HWA on.

Chrome 84.0.4147.105 has it.

@vegelund I have read your previous comments now, so it's working for you when the HWA is disabled?
Yes, the flag is present in the latest Chrome stable and beta (85.0.4183.48), but not in Opera stable/beta. Perhaps it's disabled for some reasons in the Opera, or it's just a matter of different versions of Chromium.
Nevertheless, there should not be a difference if you enable the feature thought the flag or using the switch, if it works it should work in both cases.

With HWA on, switch is not working. Flag worked as intended before removed.

@vegelund Can you leave the HWA enabled, and launch the Opera with "--disable-gpu-compositing" switch, and then with "--disable-dwm-composition" (one at the time). Does any of that help? I mean if you run it together with "--force-color-profile" switch. Don't forget to add a space between the switches too.

Edit: They say here the issue is fixed on Chrome .105 for all platforms, so it looks like it should work also in the Opera, when it will be updated to that Chromium version. Of course if it's the same issue as in your case.

@leocg Allowing users to search in their open tabs shouldn't require the replacement of an efficiently designed core feature with a version that's slower, more difficult to use, and less efficient.
