<![CDATA[Change background color of header bars]]>I just updated Opera to version 60.0.3255.59.
It used to be that when browsing in private mode (open a new private window), the tab bar / navigation bar / address bar / bookmark bar would have a dark background (even though I was not using the dark theme). I thought this was fine - it was nice. But this latest version for some reason has a purplish color as the background. I don't like it, and some things are difficult to see. Unfortunately I do not see a way to change this background color except for enabling the dark theme, but I don't want to do this.
Please can you either change it back to the color it used to be, or provide a way to change the background color for these header bars?
Thank you!

Please chnage it to the classic one or give us the opportunity to select a color we like.

Purple header with near purple text and icons makes no sense. Need contrast to see whats going on. Please get rid of purple on purple!

As for me, the Opera UI becomes worse with every update. I was Opera user since version 9 or so, now it seems like my patience ends finally.

Along came the purple coloured tab bar. I find it impossible to see the symbols on the tab bar because of this colour. Opera don't seem to have considered us Silver-Surfers . My eyes simply cannot cope with that colour. It needs returning to the previous setting.
