Opera 60 has odd browser chrome colour on MacOS Mojave

The chrome colour is different between Opera 58 and Opera 60. The background is hard to distinguish and doesn't have a Mac feel.

I agree. I presume it's the result of enabling "dark mode"—which I personally don't like and don't use—but I preferred the old version.

@xiamenese I wish there is a way to revert to the old colour. Apart from this I don't have any complaints about the browser. Its my daily driver

@vickyiyer
I'm with you there. Perhaps a preference could be added to use the old colour for those of us who don't use dark mode.

Opera is my main browser too, and I have no complaints apart from that … it makes full-screen look anaemic, but I shouldn't have to go totally the other way into the dark!

Any updates from Opera devs on this please ?

It would be really nice if the developers would use black text on the light theme and white text on the dark theme. The low-contrast text is hard to read.

I am surprised to know that none of the people from Opera either support or developer or product team have responded. Do anyone know what is the general timeframe for a response in this forum ?

This is mainly a forum for users to (try to) help each other.
Although Opera employees read this forum eventually, you should not expect a reply from them.

Other than this forum, you can try the Opera for Desktop blog.

Opera has screwed up the light theme of this browser completely, even if I were to install the 58 version from the .dmg it keeps auto-updating to the Opera 60. Utterly disappointed

You can stop Opera from updating itself by entering this code into the Msc Terminal app:
defaults write com.operasoftware.Opera OPDisableAutoUpdate true

Actually, I found Opera 54 to be the most functional version. I am now using version 60 because versions 57 and 58 crashed if I tried to open Preferences, and they were also slow.

Well that is not what I was expecting forcing not to update is not a sustainable solution, I was expecting Opera to add a native theme with native browser tab colours in addition to this ridiculously looking white and even more weirder dark theme.

Worse still, the text and the background are in low contrast, so the text is hard to read. These developers cannot even be bothered to change the text colour when one changes the theme between light and dark.
