@burnout426 Are you saying to enable being able to put tabs on it, they had to not set up a normal title bar, then had to simulate all the title bar functions? It certainly behaves as one in every other way, like double clicking it to maximise.
Opera isn't the only one, there are a few other programs which don't use the global colours, it's very annoying. In the good old days, the window in focus was say blue, and the ones not in focus were say grey. This means you could instantly tell which app will respond to keyboard input. It's even more likely you get the wrong one if you scroll a window in one app, then assume it's in focus, but it isn't. You can use the mouse wheel leaving it in the background.

@hucker Right, but the title bar color wouldn't make any difference with the app maximized.
Being maximised doesn't change what the title bar colour does.

@hucker Opera Mail is from more than a decade ago, things were different back on that time.
Yes, different as in they worked. Everything gets less sensible as time goes on. The number of things they've removed in Windows 11 since Windows 7 is absurd. The start menu is completely unusable, you have to install 3rd party software to make it work again. Modern apps are so vague, you just have to hope they're going to do what you say. There's no standard for changing settings - some things require an ok/apply button, some change instantly. Will it stay the way I put it or should I look for an ok button?

I still use it, it's a brilliant program and they should never have abandoned it. I use it for email and newgroups and it's got a brilliant filtering/sorting system. Only drawback is the index gets very clogged up and I have to do regular tidying up.

@hucker Hmm, it seems that someone has some difficulties in adapting to changes. Or it would be that someone needs to get some attention and start complaining about things that have been there for a long time?
Which change are you saying is for the better? I've seen no improvements anywhere, just less personalisation and less consistency.

@hucker I was an Opera Mail user when it was part of Opera Presto. When it becomes a standalone app, I just realized that I didn't need an email client.
How can you not use email? Email is needed for everything nowadays. Please don't tell me you prefer webmail. That's a cobbled together workaround for accessing email when you're on holiday.

@hucker That would be the exception.
Even if you have one monitor (which means you don't take your computer seriously), why change the colour just because it's maximised? There needs to be two colours for when they're not maximised. Why have a third colour?

@hucker I didn't say anything about it being good or bad, I was talking about adaption to changes.
That's my point, it's not changes, it's removal of things. Where is most recently used in the start menu? I start every single program using that. I had to install 3rd party software. Why remove it?
