Faint Text on tabs

Does anyone have a solution for almost unreadable text on browser tabs. The text on my tabs is so faint that I am unable to read it easily. The only one that can be read is the current 'coloured' tab. I cannot seem to see a solution in 'settings' but maybe I am missing something

There is no setting for it. A screen shot would help people to understand the problem and maybe give a solution.

The active tab does use a bolder color for text, at least in dark mode the active tab is gray with white text while background tabs are dark with gray text. No, sorry, no known way to adjust it.

What helped me was to use a dark theme so that the tabs are white text on a black background.

Thanks for the suggestions. My 'Dark Theme' is enabled which gives me a blue background with white text on the active tab, (Great) . Non-active tabs are white with light grey text (unreadable). The 'Back', 'Reload' and 'Search' text is also unreadable

@pastel10 ... Try this ..., in Settings, Enable Dark Theme. (which you have done).

Then under wallpapers, select a black wallpaper. That should work.

On my setup, the active tab is a dark gray background with white text.

The inactive tabs are black with white text. I also have minor vision problems and my setup makes it
much easier to read. Hope this helps.

One other thought, disable any tab extensions that might conflict with this.

Hi @ceedee , thanks for the screenshot which looks good to me and I have found that this is the same as on my Windows 10. On my Windows 7 computer, however, this is where the problem is. I will have to put the two computers side by side to check on settings.
In the mean time, should I need to post a screenshot, would you explain the procedure as I have not found out how to actually post it.
Thanks

Thanks for that. Tried but a red box appeared in bottom right corner saying that I have not got enough 'privileges' (whatever they are.......) Any ideas how I get to be privileged?

No idea, sorry. Maybe something related to reputation system.

Only thing i can think of is as you are kinda new to forum maybe it doesnt let you post pics till you been a member for longer
some anti-spam system possibly.

Thanks Ceedee & leocg. I thought it was just me..... and perhaps it is..??
Will venture into the world of Help. Surely someone must have heard of it

If you can't upload a screenshot here, you can upload it somewhere else then add it here. Be aware the size is limited if you try to upload here - a full screenshot may simply be too large.

Did you try what browzer1 suggested ?
for some cludgey reason it would seem opera choses its toolbar colour based on the wall paper chosen
select a dark one and try it

I placed the two computers next to each other and ensured that all the settings were identical including 'Dark Themes' etc but still no change. The Windows 10 laptop is fine but the Windows 7 desktop is still the same. Do you think it is something to do with versions 7 or 10?

@pastel10 could you make a screen shot like the one I posted above showing the easy setup pop out.
I am on win 7 and it works ok I have no experience with win 10 don't use it so cant comment on that.

Hi ceedee, thank you for all your efforts. Attached is the 'easy pop out' you required. Unfortunately, the snapshot is not allowing me to go up as far as the tabs, but the previous screenshot that I sent you covers that.
