      @himmelssheriff: It's also My first post but I've used Opera as my primary browser for years and I, like many others, am solely motivated by the fact that there's no way to disable this tool tip or popup or whatever it's called. It's visual clutter.

      (And as a filmmaker, if I wanted people to watch my films in a mode that would be better termed "lurid" I'd colour grade them like that... it's like Samsung turning every setting up to 11 on their TVs!)

        @himmelssheriff Same thing here. I've been using Opera as my primary browser for years. I've never commented here before and I wouldn't do it this time either, but I got an invitation so I decided to join the discussion and leave my observations. Obviously that is important to someone here, and it should be, considering that it's always good to have as much as possible direct feedbacks from users.

            @vladaart @adamsebire Thank you for your replies, so that I understand better. I'm also new to this forum, although I've known about Opera for quite a while.
            I was mystified from the diverse reactions in it. I've also been over there at Vivaldi's forum and it's quite different there. There is more of a lively discussion by users and volunteers with more experience.

            I get your point though. The new feature isn't quite ready in a way. But at the moment I appreciate it. Turning on and of for any video without hassle by showing up this new button seems handy for me, but need not evoke the same feelings with others.

            So cheers and have a nice day!

                @lehuspohus: this is happening for quit some time now. Instead of having as their first priority fixing older bugs and chromium vulnerabilities (without any delays), they just keep adding new "features", creating new bugs-problems and without (most of the times) disabling options. Just by reading comments, you can easily understand how sloppy they've become.
                They don't seem to realize that there's also a large number of users which have no need of such stuff and they just want a simple, light and (above all), "safe" browser to do their work.
                I keep wonder if they even read users posts anymore.
                So don't bother. It's a "take it or leave it" situation.

                    So it would be logical first implement it in Developer version, hear the feedback and then add in Stable, like it usually happens with other new features.

                        Maybe I'm missing smth. but it seems that Lucid mode doesn't work in video pop-ut window.

                            @stolis at least, someone respond me that the Opera team has already been notified about this:

                                @lehuspohus I still see it, even when disabled. It's transparent, which of course is better than being grey. But it pops up like the PiP button at the beginning of each video.

                                  @himmelssheriff Are you sure that you disable the new separate button's toggle in Settings, not the feature in EasySetup?

                                    A great christmas gift. Big thanks to Opera devs. This should've been an option from the start.

                                      @andrew84 Thank you, I only watched out for it in easy setup.
                                      Anyway, I keep it enabled for the moment.
                                      Happy Christmas, everyone.

                                          I wish there was a Sharpness slider as it the mode makes it way too sharp. 50% of current sharpness would be perfect for me.
