      @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".

            @hucker Then it's probably Opera One, which is the regular 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 This is how Opera One, Chrome and Windows Explorer looks in my desktop:

                  @leocg And which of those is in focus? It used to be the focussed window had a blue title bar, the rest were grey. I can't tell which one will be typed into on your screen. Let me show you the proper way:

                        1. 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!

                        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.....
