Not new, but when starting Opera Air, I can see the background of things paint in steps. First, there's a flash of white and the stuff for light mode paints.

Probably depends on the hardware how much one can see it, but for dark mode, the initial white can be undesirable.

@burnout426 opera://settings, opera://flags,, opera://extensions and other Opera pages are not dark either.

Also not seeing the "Force dark pages" option anywhere for pages that don't have their own dark mode.

@burnout426 all they did was made one two elemets of ui dark and call it a day, there is no force dark mode, right click context menu is still in light mode, same goes to login menu , extension menu, opera menu and also all most of other parts, i was waiting for dark modes for months now and im extremely disappointed, they took so much time and release this half baked dark mode,

I really like this new dark mode! I think my request at this point would be to allow us to force dark mode on all webpages, but I understand if that's a lot to ask!

Hi Everyone,

We're glad you're playing with dark UI!

Currently, the nights are getting longer, so we wanted to share interface changes related to the most popular parts of the browser. However, more updates are coming and we'll gradually keep updating other areas.

Keep sending your feedback. Let us know what you like and what could be improved.
