<![CDATA[Opera stable 70 - news]]>The first Opera stable 70.0.3728.71 is here ;-)
The change log and the announcement.
 
Some improvements:
- History and bookmark panel
The history and bookmark panels in Opera’s sidebar now have a wider search field, making it easier to find history items and specific bookmarks.
- Search in Tabs – tab content
Now is much easier and more intuitive to find the tab you want. Beyond searching through URLs and tab titles, matching text from tab content is also included.
 
New Opera's flags:
#handle-abp-protocol (enabled - ready to use)
#smart-files (disabled - work in progress)

Opera's flags enabled in this build:
#sync-passphrase-papercuts
#search-in-closed-tabs
#search-text-in-tabs

Removed flags: #bookmarks-panel, #opera-doh, #history-panel, #search-in-open-tabs and #sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar.
 
Chromium is updated to version 84.0.4147.89 - also important security update.

Does any of that help? I mean if you run it together with "--force-color-profile" switch. Don't forget to add a space between the switches too.

Edit: They say here the issue is fixed on Chrome .105 for all platforms, so it looks like it should work also in the Opera, when it will be updated to that Chromium version. Of course if it's the same issue as in your case.

Yes, the flag is present in the latest Chrome stable and beta (85.0.4183.48), but not in Opera stable/beta. Perhaps it's disabled for some reasons in the Opera, or it's just a matter of different versions of Chromium.
Nevertheless, there should not be a difference if you enable the feature thought the flag or using the switch, if it works it should work in both cases.

sRGB has always worked before under normal settings, HWA on.

Chrome 84.0.4147.105 has it.

If there's no spaces in the path, the quotation marks should not be needed.
The flag seems to be working here with or without quotes, also with different values e.g. "color-spin-gamma24".
Maybe you can check if it works, when you put "srgb" in quotation marks.
Anyway, AFAIK "srgb" may not work for every graphics card.

Opera\launcher.exe --force-color-profile=srgb has a space between .exe and --force

No space or ... is not accepted. #forced-colors does nothing on my system.

It could be wrong, if the path to the launcher.exe includes some spaces. In that case, you should put it within "...".

Anyway, have you tried already to enable another flag the "opera:flags#forced-colors" ? Some people say, that it helped them in such of cases.

In point 3 I meant the "2.15x" folder, which you need to copy outside the "Extensions" directory, and rename it to something else. It should work, it's working here. Anyway, since you are reverted to Opera 69 and you are fine with it, it's ok. However, please keep in mind, that it's not recommended to use older main version mainly for the security reasons.

That shortcut generally points to the specific Opera ver 70.0.3728.71 etc, instead of to the launcher.

Try creating a shortcut to the launcher itself, on your desktop or taskbar, and launch Opera using that. In that case the argument appended to the launcher shortcut should apply.

Since #force-color-profile is back in latest Chrome, I expect it to return in Opera soon.

@l33t4opera said:

you can try to run the Opera with "--force-color-profile" switch, for example --force-color-profile=srgb.

Am I doing correct by editing the shortcut?

C:\Users\vegel\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe --force-color-profile=srgb

Opera.exe does not have a target field to change:

C:\Users\vegel\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\70.0.3728.71\opera.exe

I have been trying to get forced sRGB back to see correct colors on my monitor.

This is the solution I’ve found on Opera 70.0.3728.71, Windows 10.

Add --force-color-profile=srgb to target line after Opera\launcher.exe
Turn off hardware acceleration.

If HWA is on, colors briefly flash correctly upon browser startup, but then revert to duller presentation.
So, for some reason HWA influences color management.

I had the same problem of colours briefly correcting and then reverting to dull. This was when I used --force-color-profile=dcip3

I then tried --force-color-profile=argb, and this has made the wide color gamut permanent.

Of course, it does not make sense why this should make a difference, but it seems to be the case.

I did not try srgb, and I am loathe to try anything else in case it breaks the current working situation, so sorry about that.

I have HW acceleration turned on.

So now I must choose between normal functionality and correct color reproduction
(as close as you can in WIN10 browser outside Adobe environments, that for my setup was forced sRGB).
