Hello,
The black screen seems a different problem. Ist you have to resolve the black screen problem, try changing the wallpaper.
Do you have any extensions installed?
One of them might be inducing the problem so disable all extensions.

@antoinequint9 I have the same problem, I can´t change the wallpaper, I set to default wallpaper and its still like a gray/black wallpaper, I restarted the browser, the laptop, I disabled all addons (I only had the opera's addblocker) and still nothing, it's very weird.

Hello, I have a problem that the wallpaper of Opera GX is not working, I try to change the wallpaper and it does nothing, is black all time, I tried to restart the browser, restart the laptop, change the wallpaper, put a live wallpaper, disable all addons(I only had the opera's addblocker addon) and it does nothing. This problem appeared from nowhere, one day I started my laptop and it was like this, I didn't installed any new program or something suspicious. If someone can help I'll be thankful.

@regelepuma The same happened to me few days ago... now I tried to and managed to fix it, cause... now I noticed, that there is no wallpaper somehow. xD It happened probably when I cleared website content hold by opera (cookie, local data etc).

As most things in IT is fixed by.. reboot of PC/given app, here it's fixed by disabling and enabling the wallpapers in the properties.

Go to Update and Recovery option. Then check for update. After the installation of the update is completed, there will be a relaunch button. Press on it. That's how I got it.

i think i found a way to fix it first you disable wall paper then you close all opera tabs then you reopen it then turn wall papers back on then it worked for me

I have had a similar issue but found that the best way to fix it so far is to completely close opera and reopen, after that the backgrounds are back. This is on the most recent update as of 3/28/2023
