Title / tabs bar colour
-
hucker last edited by leocgI don't know what you call it now tabs have actually invaded the title bar (!) But I want Opera to follow the simple instruction from Windows, to have a blue title bar. I can't see where the title bar is! I use dark mode on OS and Opera, and it's black. It blends in with stuff and when I have windows open all over the place it's hard to find. And how am I supposed to know which app is in focus?!!
When I look up how to do it, I find umpteen different ways, clearly showing you regularly reorganise the settings. No wonder there are so many questions in here on how to do basic things.
P.S. how do I underline things in here? There's only bold and italic, and why I press CTRL-U (an OS Standard for underline), I get page source?!?

@hucker Title bar? Opera doesn't have one since at least 12 years. Browsers, in general, don't have one.
The bar at the top obviously, which now contains tabs aswell. The thing with minimize, maximise, close. You can name it anything you like, but it's still a title bar. Just because Opera have decided to take the word Opera out of it to confuse users, it's still a title bar, allbeit a messed up one which doesn't even follow the colours I asked for in windows settings. Hint: the title bar is commonly used for the user to know which window is in focus! How do I know where my typing will go when it doesn't change colour?

@hucker Opera One, Opera GX or Opera Air?
None of the above, just Opera. You go to a search engine, you type "download Opera", and you get this page: https://www.opera.com/download - notice how there is no mention of your versions? It just says in huge letters "Download Opera".

@leocg This is as bad as models and sub models and versions of cars. No, you need the part for the earlier version of the larger version with the medium sized engine made before 2011, but after 2009, except those made in the north of England where they changed on a different year.

@hucker Windows 10/11? Those are recent versions of those apps?
- And irrelevant. 2/3rds of up to date apps still use the coloured title bar. In fact Windows lets you choose a colour! So MS accept it's used. If it isn't used by an app, it's the removal of a very useful feature. Why on earth wouldn't you want to know which app is in focus? I start typing and it could go anywhere!

@hucker Usually the one on the front.
So you have to work it out by studying the whole screen like it's some kind of puzzle game, wonderful. Reminds me of this:
And if they're side by side?

Chromium-based Opera has never really changed the color/brightness of the background of the tab bar depending on whether the window is focused or not. Chrome and Thunderbird do for example though.
I think it'd be nice if Opera did it too. I'm not hopeful Opera will do it though.

@burnout426 It should be true for all apps. I'd say only 2/3rds of apps do it. It's an extremely useful function windows has had from the very beginning and is simply yet another thing they take away from us in the name of form over function. We're getting like Apple.....
