<![CDATA['Enable System colour on top bar' not working]]>Please, give back function "use system color on top bar" in browser settings. After update it dosen't work and to be honest, I don't like this bright bar, but I also don't like dark theme. This option with system colour was perfect for me.

The option was removed in latest developer 46 build.

Wow, that is an extremely unfortunate decision. It would be like if Amazon chose to ax their two day shipping option to make room for a 'new and improved' two MONTH delivery service. Giant step in the WRONG direction!
I guess I'm switching back to Firefox for now (albeit begrudgingly).
On the plus side, at least I discovered today that there actually is a way use system colors on the top bar in Firefox: http://www.askvg.com/tip-get-colored-titlebar-back-in-mozilla-firefox-in-windows-10/
^ tip: add the "tab mix plus" add-on and you can change the color of the tab text too

Thanks for Firefox πŸ™‚

Developers, please let us know for certain if this is just a bug that you plan to fix in future updates, or if the option for using system colors on the top bar is being officially phased out.

If it is being phased out, you should know that the ability to use system colors was a major selling point for me and a lot of others when windows 10 came out - and that it is an absolute deal-breaker for us as well. A small handful of half-baked β€œthemes” does not even begin to justify taking away truly custom color options - especially now that the latest Windows 10 update is finally letting people use an expanded palette of colors for title bars.

Please please PLEASE fix or reinstate!

I DID search.

If you had searched, you would have found this topic.

You didn't answer the question here either.

I never said that there would be an answer.

Maybe its time to allow users to set own color themes like in Vivaldi. The Dark Theme isnt bad, but it doesnt fit into my own windows 10 design. The same with the Panel Bar / Sidebar. Its just black. It would be nice to change to color too.

Thanks

Clearly difference beetwen active and inactive window was usefull for many users, also for me. Removing this (intentionally or not) is a bad step from Opera.

Yeah this update definitely seems to have broken this feature... Or they removed it intentionally and forgot to remove the GUI setting for it.

Maybe. πŸ™‚

Window with focus
Window without focus

Unfortunately Vivaldi doesn't respect system colouration either.

But this function (use system color on top bar) isn't running at v45. 😞

So I returned to Opera 44.0.2510.1457.

If focus is somewhere else, there is no gray border (and some other icon is highlighted).

Option to have it where Opera uses the native window from the operating system would be optimal. However at the very least please make it so that opera changes the color or brightness of the titlebar when it isn't the active window.

@ugcheleuce - Heh, at least you have that. On Windows 8.1 and 10 the X doesn't change at all with this new Opera. No graphical changes if the window is active or not.

It used to be possible to see if Opera is the active window by looking at any of the four long edges of the window or the window title bar. Now it's only possible by looking in the top right corner. By the next update, perhaps there will be just a single pixel to indicate that the window had gotten or lost focus.

The reasons to keep on using Opera (i.e. ways in which Opera is better than e.g. Chrome) are slowing falling away.
