In settings (not the sidebar) go to Enable Wallpapers.

You will notice the one on the top left is not from Opera.
Click the button "Add your wallpaper" and upload an image. Then select it.

Some images work, but others don't (not all)

File types? The one in the example is .jpg

See if it that's the issue.

@wolfgangw Are you using Opera GX by chance? There seems to be an issue regrading wallpapers that is affecting some users.

@wolfgangw latest version is 99.0.4788.31/, check if the problem still happens in that version.

Yes!! I updated to the new version 99.0.4788.31. Nothing new (thumbnails are there but won't open as background)

Can't you solve my problem that some pictures (about 10%) are suitable as a background and others (about 90%!) not??
However, all downloaded images are available as thumbnails!!

Hello!!

4 days ago I asked you a question regarding my problem, why don't you answer?

@wolfgangw Because no one has a solution?

@wolfgangw Most logical guess would be to think of something related to format and size.

What a pity that you cannot help me!
It's very strange:
All images are formatted in JPEG, various sizes!
And yet some (about 10%) are accepted as background, others are not (although the same size)!!
Maybe it's OPERA?

@wolfgangw If you upload the problem images somewhere, we can test to see if we have the same issue in our Operas or not.

@wolfgangw Those all work for me, but it looks like the forum modifies them etc. Can you zip up the 3 pics, upload the zip file somewhere and link to it?

I tried but the zip file won't link.
the following message:
"ERROR: You do not have sufficient permission to perform this action!"
So far I thank you for your help and the associated time!

@wolfgangw You can't upload a Zip file here, you need to upload it some other place and post the link to it here, as said
