      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!

              Where is that ominous Persona.ini file located?

                In the theme zip file AFAIK.

                    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.
