Hey fellas, how about fixing the dark speed dial pages some control over the rest of the colors, ect. Because it certainly is suckin' now.
Every time I see something like this I think of the old "If it's not broken don't fix it" saying. -

Hi, me again. Well I've been bumping around the interwebs and found this "https://dev.opera.com/articles/working-with-theme-overlay/" guess the dark overlay isn't a bug but a feature that we all needed but didn't know it. So now if you had a nice cheery theme you liked, those days are through as this is now on by default. I guess the world needs more gloom. sigh
I have to wonder what's going to be "fixed" next. -

I read that article. It says, as a theme designer, you have two choices.
How about giving the damn user the same option?
Sometimes it's the stupid, insignificant little things that breaks the camels back.
Are you listening opera?

What has changed is that the title used to appear in black letters in a little white box on the tile itself. They've moved the title to below the tile, and used plain white text which doesn't show up on light backgrounds. Good solutions would have been to leave things as they were, or, if they had to move the title, they could have used white letters with black borders, which would show up on any background. Instead they went with the ghastly solution of graying the background, which makes the background ugly and depressing while leaving the titles hard to read.

I like it. It makes the dials look better. For me the dials are the point so I rate the new look a plus.

I found a solution:
"chrome://flags/#no-theme-overlay" = enabled
Now put "use overlay = false" under [Start Page] in your persona.ini.
Tell me, if it works.

As mentioned in https://dev.opera.com/articles/working-with-theme-overlay/ , certain themes with light backgrounds were not readable with the new speed dial text so a light grey background was introduced to make sure the text is legible.
We wanted to have the theme maker have control on whether they want their theme to be available with or without the overlay, which is why we introduced the 'user overlay = true | false' setting in the Persona.ini file which they could use to specify that.
Advanced users can also goto chrome://flags/#no-theme-overlay as mentioned above and disable it themselves. Having it as a more accessible option so that its available from a more obvious place is good feedback and we'll discuss this internally. Thanks!

Thanks for the "chrome://flags/#no-theme-overlay" suggestion. Unfortunately it didn't work for me.I tried every combination and no joy. I'm running 64-bit Linux, is there anything thing else I could try? I know just enough to be dangerous so I'm willing to fiddle with things.
I prefer bright backgrounds (old eyes) and the gray overlay kinda kills that whole thing.

You might try asking on the Linux forum. This is the Windows forum. It might be that the Linux build has something specific to it that we don't cover here.

In my opinion the flag "chrome://flags/#no-theme-overlay" should disable overlaying unconditionally. With or without “Use Overlay=false”.
There are thousands available themes. Most themes don't have “Use Overlay=false” entry in persona.ini. files.
They should look like their authors wanted, by default. Not darker.
