      Thanks for that Andrew. I never noticed that. Ill try to keep everything on night mode I spose.
      Is there anything in the pipeline to have this fixed though?

      I tried going from steampowered to youtube and the flashbang remains.

        @Pebbles1980 remains white? If you open dark youtube tab in the background (when you are on steam page), you should see the dark blue flashbang when you activate youtube tab for the first time. If you continue to open backgrund tabs with youtube pages, the flashbang will remain gray.

            @Pebbles1980 my last posts was related only to background tabs, I don't how it works with new pages (where from it takes the background color). Following the logic, when clicking Speed dial tile the flashbang should be dark gray when dark theme is activated, and white when the light theme is active

                @Pebbles1980 visit steam page, open any link from steam page in the background (click on link using mouse wheel), when you visit the background tab you should see the dark blue flashbang.

                  Yes, so opening new pages from a darksite removes flashes, but anything from my speed dial doesnt. Even if they are all dark

                    @Pebbles1980 Yes, this is strange because when I turn off wallpaper on start page, the background is dark gray in dark theme and white in light theme, so the flashbang should be also dark gray in dark mode when opening SD tiles (in ideal, there shouldn't be any flashbangs at all like it was shown on their demo for the 65 version https://www-static-blogs.operacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/10/fast_on_slow_win7.gif ).

                        @Pebbles1980, did you try a portable version, as I mentioned before? Just in case there is something specific to your profile that could be the culprit.
                        If I have open Youtube (dark theme) and steampowered, and then open a new tab (speed dial with dark background), I have no white flashing.

                            I just downloaded GX portable, and being in a dark page and having a dark speed dial with both versions (my theme, and all default in the GX version), I can only get a white flash when I press Ctrl F12 to open the settings. Opening another speed dial or a page, has no white flash here.
                            For example, if you are at https://www.escapefromtarkov.com, and click on Support (opens in same tab) or Wiki (opens in new tab), do you get that white flash? It doesn't happen to me with either version.

                              No doing that particular move doesnt reproduce the flash. Opening any page from my speed dial does. Does not matter if its a dark theme or not.
                              So I have dark theme on, dark theme on any page I can. So its dark, I open facebook from speed dial, white flashbang, then goes back to dark.

                                I added the pages you mentioned to the speed dial, and this is how it behaves here with a just-installed portable GX:

                                  @alobpreis In your case it really works as it should.
                                  Maybe Win version plays the role here too. I use Win 8.1 (which doesn't have a system dark theme). I had in 66 or 67 (I don't remember) the similar result as yours, but in 68 I see a white flash while opening SD tiles.

                                      @Pebbles1980 as you can see on his demo, when he clicks on a tile there is a small delay (loading circle is spinning) before page appears. In your case (and in my too) the page is trying to load instantly and the white flashbangs occurs.
                                      I believe that during this short delay the flashbang happens too, but it happens somewhere in the background and not visible.

                                        Well I sure you can see how annoying it is for me, there must be a fix for it.

                                          @Pebbles1980 Hi, the only fix I was able to find:
                                          Go to opera://flags find "#enable-paint-holding" there. Switch the toggle to "Enabled" and it will partially solve the problem, not completely though...

                                            Thanks Challenger, Ill try that.
                                            Hopefully there is a proper fix shortly. Would be nice to see a Dev here saying they know about it, and are working on a official fix!
