      @visajack said in Dark theme in pages is forced even when not selected.:

      @leocg I can give another dozen (hundred) examples, if needed.
      https://www.webnode.com.ua
      https://tilda.cc
      https://novaposhta.ua
      https://pixabay.com - bottom
      https://polygons.pro/portfolio/design/zatyshnyy-dim-ta-idealna-kartynka-sobi-flat
      ...

      All of these examples are also dark for me. And unreadable texts. It is a bug in opera, or the last update of Windows 10. But all other browsers are normal.

      Opera works fine for me but Opera GX does not so not a win10 issue at all IMHO.

        Opera support told me on FB that they are already working on a solution to the problem.

          Once you copy opera_elf.dll from Opera GX into Opera folder, its considered to be Opera GX and will have this dark website problem.
          If this is all it takes, it can never be a setting problem but definitly is something the devs have to have a look at.

            Hey @visajack I don´t have the normal Opera installed here to test, that opera_elf.dll file that you said, is there a normal Opera version? If yes, if you copy it over the GX version does it solve the issue? Because people reported that the normal Opera is ok so I was wondering if it is something that was implemented here but not there yet

              @JFrigo If you copy opera_elf.dll from Opera to Opera GX, you turn GX into the normal version.
              So as far as the website is concerned, it will be light theme, but you dont use GX anymore, thats no solution.
              Besides that I would not recommend copying files without knowing exactly what they do - in my case I was just looking for the difference between both browsers and it turned out to be this specific file in this case. It could break a whole lot of functions doing this. So please dont do it.

                  @remfoxx This is not a solution. The problem is not solved.

                    If I was betting all my money, I put on Hardware GPU Acceleration (or Software CPU), because clearly is a error on page drawing.

                    But could be a bug on memory management too because when I see that error is when I stay with many tabs opened for a long time. But could be related to GPU acceleration too...

                    Anyway its a priority bug for Opera Team to fix, no doubt.

                      Sometimes, Opera GX just forces dark pages, even though I don't have the option for that enabled. Is this a bug with the new update? I've had this issue for like a week now.

                          So, basically my Opera got "dark mode"(not really dark mode, its a bug actually) on some random pages. I tried everything, even reintalling, nothing seems to work. Some ideas?

                              Does the issue persist if hardware acceleration is disabled? (You can disable it in advanced preferences > System section

                                    I randomly found out that if you open Inspect Element (Ctrl+Shift+C or Right Click -> Inspect Element) and close it right after it will fix the issue for quite some time.Works 100% of the time for me.Hope i helped

                                      In this thread, we wrote about this "solution" a week ago. Only this is not a solution. It's a crutch.
                                      We are still waiting for a patch from the developers.

                                        It is doing the same thing for me. Very annoying. Even after I uninstalled and reinstalled it it did not work. Maybe I should get the normal opera
