[Duplicated]Dark Mode

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:

Install Tampermonkey
Go to: Tampermonkey for Opera
Click Add to Opera
Create a New Script
Click the Tampermonkey icon in your toolbar
Choose Create a new script...
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);
})();

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:

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.

@Mlipka the complaint is that Bright is too bright and it stresses us out. If Opera is dead set against dark mode can I get a soft medium mode so that my retinas don't get burned out. I'll be blind by the time Opera fixes this. I'm on my third pair of sunglasses. This is like lasix surgery here.

Hey @MomoTrader809

Imagine a world in which you can have a lasix surgery just looking at the screen!

But, jokes aside, we're working on improvements in this area. They should be available in near future.

In the meantime, can you let us know, if you're using an OLED monitor? Do you experience such brightness with any wallpaper or some specific? Any details are highly appreciated.

@Mlipka just a regular cheap Lenovo monitor. Its fine during the day, but at night its just too bright, it resets my sleep patterns! I've gone back to regular Opera so it's fine. Dark mode rules! lol
