<![CDATA[My Opera turned red in the taskbar. What does this mean, and how can I resolve it?]]>About 2 days ago, my Opera started turning red in the taskbar. However, I haven't encountered any issues with downloading files like I've seen others mention on the forum. I can't find any browser notifications to identify where the problem might be, and I have no idea what to do to resolve it. Can someone please help?

So, if clearing downloads at the URL opera://downloads and clearing "cached images and files" and "download history" for all time at the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData doesn't help, try that clearing your temp folders.

Of course clearing the incomplete download from the Downloads list will remove the red background, if that was the cause,
