[Suggestion] Why not a quick button for Forcing Dark Mode.

Hello,

I use Opera GX everyday, and sometimes when you suddenly get a bright light in your eyes cause you open a new tab on a super flashy white page (i mean search engines, for example), maybe you would like to quickly get dark page. So why not to place a button in the sidebar to switch between light and dark mode easily.

It can works like the background music button, just switch it on or off by a simple click on it.

Oh by the way, Opera GX is a really good web browser with a good potential, for me

Have a nice day on the web! o7

Is there yet a feature to do it? I would love to use that, it is one of the thing that annoys me and sometime, makes me use other browser for that reason.

@lorithkarthikeyan Yes I just created an icon to explain my idea.

@superfreddd15ttv Yes, on the top right corner, where you can access the menu and scroll down to the option. But in my opinion, it's not super fast to click on the menu button, scroll down to find the option.

just right click and select Disable force dark page, it will disable it for that page exclusively

Right clicking is not as friendly as a quick button, like the suggested one in sidebar. I´d love that feature too.

Such button would need to be placed in address bar or next to it. Putting it in sidebar makes no sense, since it doesn't open anything like all other sidebar buttons do.

@leocg There is one button who doesn't open anything, the mute/unmute background music button at the bottom of the sidebar.

@grandmasterdoggo Yes I know, it's for the selected page, but what I suggest would work like a shortcut of the option, and force dark mode for all of pages opened.

@biozyx OK, so the button for Forced Dark pages should be next to it. Although placing it in the address bar still makes more sense, since it's related yo the page you are on.

Well, I agree about the address bar. Makes more sense than side bar. But I believe this button should do the same as the context menu, only for the current tab. Usually we have a preference we want most of the time, and a quick button helps for the exceptions, like pages not rendered well with the force dark.
At least this is my personal preference.

@leocg what you said totally makes sense, I agree and I like it And why not let users choose the location of the button in the settings page ?
