so whenever i use Opera now with the new UI update the tab I'm on is always highlighted and it's really Fing annoying can i disable it?
i reverted to the old UI months ago but now I'm forced to use the new one and i only reverted because of this issue.
can i turn this off in anyway?

@hainatador21 Your issue is kinda different, but the on;y way to resolve it is by using the new UI.

@hainatador21 this is a different from mine. what you are experiencing is a bug in the old UI Opera gx.
i was forced onto the new UI which i wouldn't mind if i didn't have a tab highlighted when i'm on the tab itself.

@hainatador21 Old UI will probably be removed.

@Urtrek There is a new highlight setting I just got it when opera updated. IDK what they did to the UI and browser overall but it looks terrible now. I turned off the setting and the whole browser just changed on me. I think it did an update, can I undo this update? I hate it.

As to turning off the highlighting, go to settings and search TAB, it should be down near the bottom. There is an option that says Show traces on most recently used tabs then you can choose how many. Just turn this crap off.

@Decoy7 oddly enough still doesn't work for me.
got the setting to show never but the tab i'm on is still highlighted. the only thing i can do is change my theme colour and tune down the lightness but that makes the side bar and everything dark too.

@iragnarok from what it seems like you won't have a choice. you will be forced to the new UI at some point with no way of returning.
if you don't like it you may want to start thinking about switching to firefox or something. i know i'm thinking about it.
