      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

            @cratte It's an old issue as you can see above.

                    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.

                            Have same problem with white flashes. Not only when open new page, but also when i close tab and it loading old one. Video: https://youtu.be/e5sRlVwvQDE
                            Its rly annoing thing in dark mode. Hope we find how to change it.

                            Its wierd we dont have option to change color of background.

                            Today i installed opera gx and loved it so far, but this 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.

                                        @dada5k Nope, I'm still having the problem as well. The developers should have fixed this by now.

                                            Well, I really love the project and the concept, but this whole white flashbang I get every single time I open a tab or website is too much... How is it that the devs do not browse the forums? Does PewDiePie need to say something for them to listen...?
