[Duplicated]Dark Mode

@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.

I just can't understand how it's possible to release a new browser without a dark mode. These days, all major browsers (Firefox, Edge, Brave, Safari, and Google Chrome) have it as a standard feature. I honestly don't get why this hasn't been implemented yet. If it doesn't arrive soon, I'll probably switch back to Edge.
Opera Air is a great browser with genuinely good features, but after a long day of work, my eyes hurt. I also don’t want to install some third-party extension that only half works.
This should be something your development team could add to the browser in a single sprint. -

@mohamedsalah I'm at peace at dark. I appreciate that you started with a light theme and the reasoning behind it. However, for many users, including myself, a dark mode is crucial for both comfort and productivity. The reduced blue light and the overall aesthetic of a dark mode can significantly improve the user experience.
Many users find dark mode less straining on the eyes, especially during extended use. It also tends to help with focus and reduce distractions. The implementation of a dark mode would greatly enhance the accessibility and appeal of the browser for a wider range of users. I hope you can make this the top priority. Thanks!

Hello fellow Dark Mode Champions!
Has you guys tried Comet? This thing is very good. You can use the Perplexity AI to control the browser, summarize emails, etc. Its very early stages, and not perfect, but very cool glimpse of the future and...it's got Dark Mode!!!! LOL.
I have to say Microsoft Edge is my daily driver, but I'm playing with Comet and it may replace it. I dropped Opera. It's ok, but it's just a browser. AIR is "never again" even if they fix dark mode, it's just the principle of the thing now.

@MomoTrader809 Dark Mode should be pretty basic option but for example I never use Opera (although I regularly try it out) because the sidebar is unusable for me. Vivaldi and Sidekick allowed custom URLs (even edge for some point), while Opera forces its own apps on me and you can’t even modify them. Productivity would lie precisely in me defining what I want to see in a sidebar, wouldn’t it?
I think Opera Air’s design is pretty cool, but the fact is that nowadays, with 500+ nit laptops and insanely bright monitors, the light theme isn’t viable.
