@wolfgangw I already answered above, you can right click on start page/speed dial and choose Change Wallpaper or you can go to the settings page and click on use your own wallpaper.

@wolfgangw Show wallpaper? What option would be that?

There is no preview, when you select the image file and click on Open, the image is automatically set as the new wallpaper.

It's not happening?

@wolfgangw If you open an image in Opera, right click on it and then in Use Image As Wallpaper, does it work?

In settings (not the sidebar) go to Enable Wallpapers.

You will notice the one on the top left is not from Opera.
Click the button "Add your wallpaper" and upload an image. Then select it.

File types? The one in the example is .jpg

See if it that's the issue.

@wolfgangw Are you using Opera GX by chance? There seems to be an issue regrading wallpapers that is affecting some users.

@wolfgangw latest version is 99.0.4788.31/, check if the problem still happens in that version.

Yes!! I updated to the new version 99.0.4788.31. Nothing new (thumbnails are there but won't open as background)

Can't you solve my problem that some pictures (about 10%) are suitable as a background and others (about 90%!) not??
However, all downloaded images are available as thumbnails!!
