        @nnq2603 Why is something like this even need a post, it should be fixed before released. It's really look like this one sneak through the test phase and came to users.

        why is this even got approved in official UI

        If the address bar has the purple color, it'd somehow make more sense than a pure white color in darkmode. There's no justification for this design, isn't it? (Of course the most obvious choice of color is just dark gray like normal Opera. The white here make no sense at all)

              103.0.4928.26, white address bar in dark private mode, this problem is still going strong.

              And it's not the case in other Opera edition (like OperaCrypto/OperaGX... none of them has this choice of color). It's strange that Opera One become an exception amongst its own peers.

                Still not fixed in version 103.0.4928.34.

                BTW, when I right-click a bookmark on the bookmarks bar and choose Edit, I get an even worse result:

                As with the address bar, this has been the case for a long time.

                    Still not fixed in Opera One version: 104.0.4944.33

                    BTW, hovering over a tab that plays audio, shows "This tab is playing audio" in white text on whitish background.

                      Still not fixed. At this point I think Opera Devs just dont care or people in charge to report problems from this forums to the devs do a really poor job

                        @shagratt Maybe it's not considered an issue?

                          @leocg Maybe...but when your users think it should work diferently it needs to be considered as an option at least. And perhaps you can explain why is not an issue in the standard Opera but it was considered and changed in OperaGX. Are we talking of the same company devs?

                            @shagratt I was just raising a possibility. And for me the private window in GX is bugged because it doesn't allow you to easily say that you are in a private window.

                                  Still a white address bar in Opera One version 105.0.4970.13.

                                  Other theme issues are fixed, like the "This tab is playing audio" text, the world map of the VPN setting, editing bookmarks by right-clicking bookmarks in the bookmarks bar.

                                    @whisperer Apparently they purposely hang on to the white address bar in darkmode for some unknown reasons(?) Even the possibility Leocg mentioned above might be true, like, some of them really think the private mode should be visually standout compare to normal mode, and standout in white

                                    It's just super weird, because instead of providing a different dark color theme for private mode to make it distinguishable from normal mode, they decided to choose a white color for dark theme. It doesn't make any sense. If there're 2 separated color themes, one for light and one for dark according to windows theme, then white bar should only appear in light theme of opera, not dark one. There's zero sense to this color choice of pure white at all. It's all messed up.

                                    If they're too stuck up with the idea of private mode theme need to be distinguishable from normal mode theme, then do in the way Brave or Vivaldi did. They have private/incognito mode in distinguishable color theme, and still suitable for dark theme. Of course the color choice of Brave or Vivaldi (private mode) might not fit to everyone taste, but in general, it's still better than pure white. Opera One pick the worst choice of color, by far.

                                      @nnq2603 I agree. It doesn't make any sense to think that using a white color in dark mode is a good idea.

                                        Indeed, it now late 2024, and the white address bar in dark theme private mode persists.

                                        I do hope that this can be changed to black soon.

                                        Many thanks to all who have commented on this, and many thanks in advance (I hope!) to the developers who will hopefully fix this someday!
