<![CDATA[[Suggestion] Remove the purple menu/dropdowns highlighted items in dark/light theme]]>Remove the same purple selection for menus and dropdowns for both dark and light themes. Make it look normal and pleasant to eyes like in other browsers or software. It means different gray accents for dark and light themes instead of the bright purple.

Aha!!

I keep reading folks complaining about the splash screen, which I have NEVER seen on my Linux machines ... and I suspected it was OS specific, which you just confirmed (you state it's an .exe program doing it). And that's fine, don't want a splash screen.

But to stay on-topic, the light blue selection highlight is okay by me - it's not really intrusive.

Option if there will be changes - to do it customizable.

No complaints here then from my side if it'd optional.

As was stated earlier, there's already GX version with such bright elements which remind gaming interface. Now they transfer GX's features to the regular version.

I like purple color here in menu and dropdown... Option if there will be changes - to do it customizable.

  • still the old one light blue in Settings and EasySetup
  • the new one purplish blue or bluish purple in menus/context menus and bookmarks bar's dropdowns
  • normal tones (dark navy accents or similar) in sidebar panels
  • normal tones (dark a bit purplish gray accents, which is most probably is inherited form GX) in island popup.

Not exactly Apple quality control on design and UI.

I guarantee you; Opera has neither thought these color choices through, nor are they aware of the variation and discrepancy.

Some might think it's all minor details, I call it a big mess.

So we have 3 or 4 different color schemes for the same UI.

I thought the complaints were about the "white background" of the pop-up, when in a Dark theme.

Notice my pop-up is black background, with Blue (Ultramarine blue) for the highlighted text. But I understand now the complaint.

But yea, to answer the question, "and what do you call that color:?" ... to me, it's Ultramarine Blue 🙂

I have yet to find out where/or how to change this colour setting, and nobody seems to know how to do this!
