@andrew84 Well, lots of things may have changed since then.

@jenabaivab So the flashing issue is fixed? If so, then the feature does what it is supposed to do.

By the way, I still see it flashing happening sometimes when opening a new page, specially on a new tab.

@leocg I guess he means that disabling the flag fixed the issue, but I don't known how it's possible that the disabled flag (the flag itself was implemented to fix the issue, by the way) fixed the issue
In my case I don't see any difference how tiles do open, there's a flash anyway with or without the flag, but with the disabled flag there are extra flashes (colorful) when creating new tabs and closing last tab. With disabled flag Opera is unusable for me.

The flashes in opera occur not just when opening a new tab, but when opening a new website as well.

hi.
I surf in dark mode by night.
But always i call a new site in a new tab the page gets glary white a short time - and i get blinded...
This happens only on new tabs which are darkened by the startpage.
How can i tell Opera to get black all time?
thx

hi.
Perhaps a solution here, because Opera is using the Blink engine from Google's Chrome browser.

Chrome Browser: Turn hardware acceleration OFF?

"Chrome launches with the white screen?"
https://windowsreport.com/chrome-white-screen/#:~:text=Some users have confirmed that,in the snapshot directly below.

go to:
opera://settings/?search=hardware

@cratte Disabling hardware acceleration may have consequences worse than the white flashing, I guess.

In the latest Beta and Dev they applied a 'fix' (DNA-88299 White flashes when opening bookmark on startpage) that removes the white flashbangs.
But Instead of the white flashbang I have colorful one now (color depends on currently active wallpaper). I can't call it as 'fix', a colored flash is even worse.

Just wanted to note - I had the same white flashes, when a new page loaded. But, then I opened "about:blank" page, then that page changed color to dark, and now opening new pages there are no more white flashes.

Don't yell at us! This is a user forum, it is unlikely the developers will even see your post here.

@Veygard It's official Opera page but it's mainly a place for users to try to help each other.
