      Opera 45 has reached rc today and neither the compositing problem, nor the dark theme problem* are solved yet, so I guess I should start looking for a new browser...

        Yes, I also believe that it will be time for me to change to Vivaldi. The Opera Devs ignore this bug and this is also in the current Opera-Beta (45.0.2552.634) inside the soon to change stable.

        I have spent a long time (since Opera 6.06) with Opera, it's time to go.

          I won't switch to vivaldi though. I really hate nodejs-based (or electron) apps. I may switch to qupzilla. It has switched to chromium engine since version 2, it has opera's 12.x speed dial, built in adblock and it looks quite promising 🙂

            Opera 45 reached stable a few minutes ago and neither the dark theme bug, nor the compositing one was solved. Goodbye opera.

                      I confirm the "ugly border" bug on LMDE 2 with Trinity DE R14.0.4 installed.

                          opera://flags/ => Override software rendering list (enable it).

                            Other method: opera://settings/ => Browser => System => disable "Use hardware acceleration when available".

                              opera://flags/?search=overr#ignore-gpu-blacklist and the another preferences does not help.

                              Only enable the compositing manager…

                                Both methods solve the effect of "big ugly black border" in my system (Slackware 14.0, x86).

                                  This workaround does not apply to lubuntu 16.04 amd64

                                    None of these workarounds worked for me as well (debian testing x64, openbox, no compositing manager, opera 45 stable).

                                    Since the lazy maintainers of my disto have not yet packaged qupzilla 2.1.x, I am back to opera. And reopened my account here, because deleting it would also delete my comments 😞

                                      Also present on Arch Linux. Have tested Intel, AMD, and Nvidia gpu; if compositing is off these borders show up.

                                        The compositing bug was solved today in the latest opera-developer version, along with the dark theme one.

                                          Thanks for the heads up, 2602 appears to work for me without the black borders as well (xfce4, no compositing).

                                            The bug is fixed on Opera developer build 46.0.2602.0, thanks.

                                            (Debian/sid with xfce, without compositing)

                                            But with Opera dark theme, the background and color from the tooltips 😉 is bright.

                                            😉 Button on main bar, tabs on tab bar, bookmarks on bookmarks bar
