      it's very hard to use an extension I have because opera gx is forcing it dark for some reason. It's a chrome extension. Is it possible to disable this?

      on a side note is it possible to make the browser on a light theme instead of only dark ones? thanks

            @wdu It happens with all extensions? Maybe the extension page is detecting that you are using a dark theme and following it.

              I also have this problem. (Stylus and SimpleExtManager extensions). And I would also like to have a light theme, because the dark one harms the eyes. 2021-04-22_181139.png

                Can you try changing your secondary theme color and see if it affects the extensions at all?

                  @quik yes, this setting affects the display of the background of extensions, but I cannot make a light background and dark text is still hard to see. изображение_2021-04-22_230540.png

                    @marialovesopera I don't really have a fix for this, you can try setting it as bright as you can for the time being. It looks like a bug rather than a setting-related issue. But if you manage to solve it somehow, be it by finding a solution somewhere else, please let me know so we can help others experiencing the same issue.

                      @quik it seems the problem was resolved, I just updated the browser, and saw this: D изображение_2021-04-22_234434.png

                        It's only working in the "Dark mode", the "Light" or "Automatic" options still are the same and bugged for some of these extensions.
