        I don't quite understand this "brighter makes you happier" thing. I'm sure there's some background to it, but in IT, I don't think it has significance. We're already in twilight here, I just installed Opera Air for the first time and it almost burned out my brain 😃

        For me, a bright display is often more irritating, while a darker one is more relaxing. This is especially relevant if you're using a stronger monitor, although even if I turn down the brightness, I still have to squint at bright displays.

        I'm really looking forward to dark mode because it seems to be a good browser overall 🙂

          I had been using Opera GX, but design wasn't my type, so after updating windows decided to download Opera Air due to pretty interface, but there wasn't dark theme. I think that will be great to add theme selection in the future(

                If you are an Opera employer, note that some users just prefer dark mode to avoid excess light, specially the blue one. This is also related to healthy people! To keep these people here (we are a lot!), this is a crucial point. The mindfulness approach is amazing, but lets evolve with some inclusion? You are missing public in this case. Thank you!

                  I would love a dark mode, I've been using opera air and have been loving it so far but it's just sadly too bright...

                    I recently started using Opera Air and the biggest feature that bugs me from using this browser is that there is no dark mode option in the settings. I've used dark mode for so long that I can't stand looking at these white backgrounds, it hurts my eyes. Please add dark mode.

                        For a quick workaround you can use TamperMonkey to activate Dark Mode on websites by default:

                        1. Install Tampermonkey
                          Go to: Tampermonkey for Opera
                          Click Add to Opera

                        2. Create a New Script
                          Click the Tampermonkey icon in your toolbar
                          Choose Create a new script...

                        3. Paste the Script Below
                          Replace the default template with this code:

                        // ==UserScript==
                        // @name         Force prefers-color-scheme: dark
                        // @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
                        // @version      1.0
                        // @description  Forces websites to use dark mode by overriding prefers-color-scheme
                        // @author       YourName
                        // @match        *://*/*
                        // @grant        none
                        // @run-at       document-start
                        // ==/UserScript==
                        
                        (function() {
                            'use strict';
                        
                            // Override matchMedia to force dark mode
                            const originalMatchMedia = window.matchMedia;
                            window.matchMedia = function(query) {
                                if (query === '(prefers-color-scheme: dark)') {
                                    return {
                                        matches: true,
                                        media: query,
                                        onchange: null,
                                        addListener: function() {},
                                        removeListener: function() {},
                                        addEventListener: function() {},
                                        removeEventListener: function() {},
                                        dispatchEvent: function() { return false; }
                                    };
                                }
                                if (query === '(prefers-color-scheme: light)') {
                                    return {
                                        matches: false,
                                        media: query,
                                        onchange: null,
                                        addListener: function() {},
                                        removeListener: function() {},
                                        addEventListener: function() {},
                                        removeEventListener: function() {},
                                        dispatchEvent: function() { return false; }
                                    };
                                }
                                return originalMatchMedia(query);
                            };
                        
                            // Optional: Set color-scheme via CSS as well
                            const style = document.createElement('style');
                            style.innerHTML = `
                                html {
                                    color-scheme: dark !important;
                                }
                            `;
                            document.documentElement.appendChild(style);
                        })();
                        
                        1. Save the Script
                          Click File > Save or use Ctrl + S

                        Now all websites that support dark mode should be dark by default.

                          @mariusbolik Before installing complex script, we can suggest using this plugin for now:

                          https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/dark-mode-night-eye/alncdjedloppbablonallfbkeiknmkdi

                          We tested it ourselves and it works pretty well.

                            Just switched over from Opera GX and I absolutely love the relaxing feel of this browser so far. But nothing breaks that feeling faster than having a solid white web page burn my eyes. I've added the dark reader extension, used a custom dark background for the speed dial, and even forced the dark mode flag. This doesn't fix the solid white "easy setup" tab, "sidebar" tab, or the dedicated settings page. Additionally, this causes the screen to flash solid white for a whole second whenever a new webpage is loading, which is absolutely blinding. I want to like this browser so much, but this one feature makes or breaks it for me unfortunately.
