So the same question as before

How to quickly switch dark/light theme in EasySetup menu ?

There's no options anymore.

@andrew84: To change the mode for the Classic theme, you need to go to Easy Setup -> Choose Theme -> Classic Mode -> Switch Light/Dark/System. If you already have the Classic theme set, go to Easy Setup -> Hover over the Classic theme preview and click the Edit button when it appears. The Aurora theme is only available in dark mode, while Polar Wind is only available in light mode.

@Danio9900 thanks, but you're continuing making things more complicated. Instead of one click in EasySetup, now I have to make four clicks and open extra popups.

And please make it possible to choose a classic theme with the colors in the color scheme that is now in Opera by default. Otherwise, it is not always possible to manually select exactly the color that you have become accustomed to over many years.

@tastodd Isn't it possible already?

@leocg Here's how the top panels differ by default color
Top - Opera stable 112
Bottom - current Opera dev 114

Or maybe the developers should make an "eyedropper" tool for choosing the right color. Then everyone will be able to accurately select the necessary color

Everything looks great.All I miss is the ability to add my own wallpaper to fill the screen like in aurora mode.

I see the Edit theme page doesn't support scrolling. For example, if you shrink Opera's window and try to edit a theme, you get this:

@spootch: They were told about it a long time ago, but the developers don't care. The main thing for them is to screw on bells and whistles, and not to fix what interferes with the work.

@Danio9900 If possible, it would be best if the classic theme's default colors could match Opera Stable's colors exactly. In Opera Stable (light mode) the color is grayish. In developer with color themes, it's too pastel and light-purplish. The tooltips when hovering over buttons on the address bar and extension bar are purplish too.

Also in developer click in the address field doesn't darken the fields background like in stable.

@burnout426 Yes, I would like the color scheme in the classic theme to fully correspond to the one that is now the default. And those who want to change the colors to suit their preferences will already use the fine-tuning of colors

Is there a way to get rid of the border frame around the content? There is no practical use for this. It obstructs the content, looks ugly, and un immersive. In addition, it has an issue with multiple monitors where you can accidentally drag/resize the window on another monitor while interacting with the side bar or content on the page close to the edge of the browser.

@spootch: Thank you for your comment. It is known issue by Opera's team and we will take care of it soon enough, meaning there will be a setting in the Aria extension to turn off the icon showing up.

It would be great to introduce a "System" mode preset that switches to "Polar Wind" in system app light mode and "Aurora" in system app dark mode. Perhaps we could rearrange the order to have "Light/Dark/System" at the primary level, with Dynamic and Classic options underneath? And it appears that the dynamic theme isn’t animated in any tabs apart from "Speed Dial."
