<![CDATA[Forces the Unity theme on Xubuntu]]>I have installed today Opera Stable and Developer on Xubuntu 16.04, and both seem to force the Unity theme, leaving a gray background behind the tab bar. Worst of all, when I maximize the window, it leaves me with no window decorations!

As for the other bug, calling something so badly done as a clever feature doesn't make sense at all. If I want the window decorations hidden, I just go full screen with F11. Double clicking to restore is something many users won't know, and doesn't work when there are tabs enough to cover the whole tab bar. It was something designed specifically for Unity, and should be disable in any other environment.

in the top right corner to close Opera. This is the way Opera should work in every distribution, but unfortunately in Cinnamon or Pantheon for example this doesn't work, so you always have the space wasting not necessary title bar in maximized state.

Also the grey tab bar background in Xfce is not a bug. It's related to the greybird theme and i find it looks really nice with the contrast to the tabs.

This is not an issue with Opera, but with your distro's theme. You'll need to find another theme because Opera pulls from whatever is the default theme.

It seems you are right, I'll report this against the Greybird theme! The problem with the window decorations disappearing on maximizing remains, though!
