      Transparent backgrounds are a bit misleading, but basically, it would be great if I could sync my Opera background with my computer's background (especially if you have a slideshow as a background).

      Alternatively, I could use my Opera wallpaper as my desktop wallpaper; either way works.

      The reason why this is important is that it increases the asthecitics by 1000% percent. Having the same backdrop makes your desktop more clean and increases your focus by slitly hiding the fact that you have a browser open, but keeps the efficiency of always having a browser open.

      The only difficulty could be that it would have to be different for each os. If anyone knows any 3rd party solutions that work on Linux please let me know.

      Thank you. 🙂

        On a side and an FYI:

        Just in case you didn't know, in settings, at the URL opera://settings/themes, you can set your Opera wallpaper to your desktop's wallpaper.

        Also, specfically in Opera GX, if you goto the URL opera://settings/early_bird, enable the Live Wallpaper Helper (just it if you don't want anything else there), restart Opera, goto the URL opera://settings/live_wallpapers and install the helper, you can set live wallpapers from https://store.gx.me/mods/?tagAlias=desktop%2Clive that you have installed in Opera as your desktop wallpaper.

          @burnout426 When you say "you can set your Opera wallpaper to your desktop's wallpaper," do you mean you can manually set it, or automatically. Cuz I know you can manually change it, but I am wondering if there is a way (or extension) to allow you to automatically change your wallpaper to your desktop's wallpaper. Also I am on linux so opera GX doesn't work. 😞

            @CodKid1710 When you start Opera, the current desktop wallpaper will be used.

                  @CodKid1710 You need to use a theme that allows you to choose the wallpaper and select the one of your desktop.
