@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

Sorry, I gave it a fair shot, had Opera Air installed for about 2 months. I hated every second of using it without the dark mode. Please tag me if or when OA gets a dark mode. Until then, uninstalled and back to Chrome.
Edit: honestly I'm baffled at the absolute lack of understanding that some people prefer dark mode. The absolute disconnect and "we know better" attitude will not win you users loyalty.

I absolutely love this new browser! I've been using Opera for a while and since I knew about Opera Air I moved to this one.
But here's the thing, I work mostly at night and having this bright white screen hurts my eyes, and even more having sensory issues making this bright screen even more uncomfortable. I'm thinking about moving back to Opera GX only because of the Dark Mode, but it would be a pity.
I'd love to have the dark mode here and it would be the best browser for me. -

@Mlipka its your company do what you want. We are all Opera fans so that we take the time to come on here and give our suggestions. Everyone knows that there is no one size fits all browser (that's why there are options to personalize). It's ok. AIR is meant for a specific group of people. For those of us on the spectrum who can't be over stimulated we will have to use other options and do mediation, bell sounds, and soothing on our own, LOL. It's cool really, don't put yourself out. Also I'm on the waiting list for Perplexity's Comet browser so this maybe a non issue soon. Peace.

Need Dark mode, my eyeballs are burning out of their sockets, light mode doesn't make me feel more "mindful" at all!

I think this would be enough for most of us regarding the entire browser and would fit perfectly with the Air.

@Mlipka okay you’re making it sound like it takes months to implement dark mode. As a UI designer, it’s literally just setting a couple of elements that are currently set to a RGBA values like FF00000, and making them black. It can literally be done in 10 minutes tops with a couple of lines.
Then you place a button in the settings menu that switches the values, a light appearance button, and a dark button appearance button. Which switches the RBGA values on the fly to whatever button you press.
I’m telling you how it’s done, because you’re making it sound like it’s some grandiose high budget feature. It’s just ten damn lines of code and a simple update. But yeah, this browser is literally unusable without it. So maybe fix it??? It would attract a lot more users. Look at any screenshot of an OS in 2025, twitter, Reddit etc No One Uses Light mode anymore!!!

@tadeonkipp23 Nope, that's not correct. What have been said is that Opera Air was designed to have light mode only (the same was Opera GX was designed to have dark mode only) and that changing it requires rethinking all the project and can't be done in a couple of days.
Opera GX got a light mode after some years, maybe Opera Air got a dark mode in the future.

I find it deeply disappointing that after almost a year that Opera Air was released, there still is not a proper Dark theme for both the interface and the menus. I mean... it's not like they don't know how to do it? Is this just another browser to experiment with? For goodness sake, I love the interface and its workings... but get a dark mode already. I can now understand what Vivaldi was born from your stubbornness to keep the user in mind.

This thread is the best! My fellow dark moders Unite!!! I'm just using regular Opera. It's coo, although I have recently started using MS Edge and I got to tell you, they are getting it pretty good as far as browsers go.
