<![CDATA[Disable extensions for sidebar applications.]]>I have some specific extensions like Dark Mode (not the opera inbuilt one). It can be enabled/disabled for certain websites but I am unable to access the extension options for sidebar apps,
Let's say I've already disabled www.twitter.com from the extension, the sidebar twitter would still use that extension and alter page accordingly. If I open twitter as a tab it's all good.
I just want to be able to access the extension options for sidebar applications.
Is there any way to do that?

I uninstalled my dark reader and now use the built-in extension, the deactivation of the dark mode also works with the sidebar applications now.

I appreciate attempt of @burnout426 too, if the problem is getting solved from extension side, it's good.

The dark mode extension you linked seems to solve the problem but Dark Reader has buttons in the extension options itself, to disable or enable for specific websites, which is very convenient.
I still think it's an Opera GX problem because Dark Mode was completely switched off instead of blacklisting specific websites only, which made sidebar applications look ok.
As far as I understand, the sidebar applications URL is not correctly being delivered to the extension even if it's the same as tab page -- and we can't access extension options for the sidebar application either because the extension button is invisible.
If any of the above points is fixed it should solve the problem.

Opera GX is set to dark mode by default.

By default, Twitter in Opera GX is set to "lights out" under "more -> Display" on the Twitter page (whether in a tab or in the panel).

You can change Twitter from "lights out" to "Default" on the Twitter page (whether in a tab or in the panel) and Twitter will show as light even if Opera GX itself is set to dark.

With the Dark Mode extension installed, even if Twitter is set to "Default" (which is light mode), the extension forces Twitter (whether in a tab or in the panel) to the extension's own dark mode. Going to twitter.com in a tab, clicking the extension's icon on the address bar and turning the power off for the extension on twitter.com and refreshing both the Twitter page in a tab, and the Twitter page in the sidebar, fixes things so the extension doesn't work on them anymore, and they appear light. But, with Dark Reader, that doesn't work.

In Opera GX, in the Twitter panel, I can right-click on the page and I see "copy address".

So, in short, I can confirm that there's an issue with Dark Reader. When the extension is enabled, its CSS that makes the page turn to dark is active on the Twitter panel no matter what. Keeping the extension on and disabling dark mode for twitter.com via the extension's icon popup, doesn't have any effect on the Twitter panel. I suspect that this is due to how the extension is handling site exceptions for itself. Or, there's some kind of permission issue with the page being in the panel. Even though the extension probably doesn't consider Opera's sidebar panels at all, I would try reporting the issue to the extension's developer to see if they can figure it out.

Screenshots for examples

Look at the volume slider button for example.

@yoday it all happens may be the sidebar store chache and save them as other way . and its not easy to modify . so brother we have to tell it to devs. not that forum mods.

I think so. Do you know how do I contact devs?

@leocg said in Disable extensions for sidebar applications.:

@yoday Of course you need to have the panel with the messenger opened and right click on that panel.

I tried that too, but if I right click the sidebar application icon while it's open, I get the same options and the sidebar app collapses (or closes).
