Opera is forcing dark theme even when it is not enabled.:

E.g.
Opera:

Opera screen capture does not make it black but still messes up the page:

Chrome:

Sometimes these dark themes make things unreadable:

vs actual screenshot in Opera:

@sirinath What happens if you add the site as an exception for dark pages?

Force dark pages is turned off. Yet I still have websites appearing dark. This is not happening on Opera Regular. Only GX

Same here, i noticed that restarting the browser makes the issue go away for some time.

You can temporarily fix it by turning it off with the flags until they fix it it.

opera://flags/#enable-force-dark
Default -> Disabled

@xemperor Thanks for the sugestion, but already tried that a few days ago and the issue persist.
It seems like the main issue here is that the feature is enabling itself even tho it should be disabled.

@leocg Same problem here, too. Some white parts of some websites are automatically rendered with forced dark mode, and the only way to read the text is to enable to force dark mode so the black text in black background becomes white text in black background. This is a massive bug, and I hope it gets fixed as soon as possible since it drastically hinders browsing experience.

I have a problem with displaying white. black background replaces white on many sites and text is not visible. How to solve this problem?

Sometimes after opening some sites my browser Opera GX (LVL2 (core: 71.0.3770.175)) include dark theme for current site. This problem covers some sites (not all). In opera settings I didn't include dark theme for all sites. How i can fix it?

I attach the screenshots with this problem

I´m having this same issue, instead of changing the configuration what I´m using as a workaround is selecting everything (ctrl+a) so the marked text will make it readable.
