@chillie17 Was it a live wallpaper from https://store.gx.me/mods/?tagAlias=live-wallpaper or a regular wallpaper from https://store.gx.me/mods/?tagAlias=wallpaper? If so, as said, those come from mods that override Opera's default wallpaper settings. To see installed mods and remove them, goto the URL opera://mods. There's also an icon in the sidebar to load that page.

Also note that if you just want regular wallpapers that are not from mods, you can get them at https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/?gx. Those ones can easily be uninstalled by click the X for them like normal wallpapers you add.

Do a test and see if it works with hardware accelerated turned off at the URL opera://settings/system (restart of Opera required).

@localmeatblob This works but just disable the wallpaper option, close Opera, and reopen, reenable the wallpaper option and you can select wallpapers now

I could use some help here. I've tried several of the suggested fixes for my issue, but mine seems to be different. I find that with my mods, Opera GX refuses to change to the modded wallpaper automatically. This is the case with only one mod active, and I have to manually change the wallpaper every time. Anyone got a fix?

@antoinequint9 I have the same problem, my wallpapers are activated, yet it just comes up with a normal search bar. Please fix this problem, moderators.

@itioseprimitiv Goto the URL opera://settings/opera-gx and keep clicking the wallpaper preview slider to the left till you get to the first one, which should be the mod's wallpaper. Then, click it to set it.

@leocg wallpaper mod isn't working only gives me the ones in settings. I have wallpapers enabled and I want the modded one (its made by opera) to turn on instead of the selected wavy ones. Any way to solve this?

I'm unable to find new wallpapers from the "get more wallpapers" section of opera. Every time I head there and go to the animated wallpapers section and try to go to the next page it redirects me to a page with the text "The page you're looking for could not be found". Any ideas as to what's going on with it?

@copeamine Next page works fine for animated wallpapers at https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/?tag=animated in Opera GX 106.0.4998.76 64- on Windows 11 23H2 no problem for me for what it's worth.
