<![CDATA[selected theme not sticking]]>I just switched to the Opera browser from Chrome and love it.

I pick a theme and set it as default, close the browser and come back in, my chosen theme is gone replaced by the same old pink and orange triangle one every time.

Why is my theme of choice not sticking as a default theme, the one that is stuck is garish behind my speed dial tiles, if I can't get it fixed, it's a deal breaker for me.

Any help would be appreciated, I am running the latest version of Opera which is 31.0.1889.161, I have gone into the folder where the profile files reside and tried deleting and/or renaming the preferences file but the problem still exists.

The issue was a corruption of my Opera user data (see previous post). Bookmarks were saved to a html file. Cheers!

To test further, I installed the Developer and Beta versions of Opera. The problem does not exist with these two. A reasonable assumption is something in my settings, or something from continuously installing over the top, with Opera stable has been corrupted.
However, I'll give stable(34) one more chance when available. If the problem does not clear I will start fresh with a complete and thorough uninstall. I'll post an update on the results.

LOL You're going to stop using Opera because the theme doesn't "stick", is that right? Seriously? I love Opera. I have no issues with themes on my Lenovo running Windows 10. Maybe it's time your checked your OS and installed programs before blaming Opera. Just sayin'.

If I close and re-open Opera, whatever theme I saved will go away and the default Raindrops theme will appear.
If I save one of 'My Themes', close Opera and shutdown the computer, the theme saved will return upon re-starting the computer and opening Opera. Of course, if I close Opera during the session and re-open...Raindrops again.

At least this time it's stuck with a better looking one. 😛

I uninstalled Opera, deleted the installation folder from my Program Files, and reinstalled. Opera recognized my account and synced all my extensions, bookmarks, and settings. Most important, the themes are finally sticking.

Victory!

It works fine on my Windows 10 machine, though.

That path takes you into Opera Stable, remove the words Opera Stable and try again.

Strangely enough, Opera on my laptop works just fine. The theme problem only occurs on my desktop.

It's hopefully something that could be fixed in an update. Until then, I'm searching through the installation files to find a solution.

Still looking for the answer.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

It's unbelievable that I am going to have to trash a perfectly good browser because themes won't stick.

Still looking for an answer.

Is anyone else having this problem with the lastest opera browser in windows 10 or is it just me?
