When I open Opera GX, the splash screen displays like this. I don't know why or is it an update? The whole browser is in pink and can someone help?

@Ben-0001 What version of Opera GX? You can check in opera://about.

@Ben-0001 Just uninstall the Anime mod in opera://configure/mods/manage or use the Opera preset mod in the menu on the right.

@leocg Have the splash screen on but doesn't show up most of the times. I have to open and exit opera gx multiple times for it to show up. Any ideas on how to fix it?

@FatimaMadhurja You... want the splash screen? Why on earth?

@chawke I use the Gabriel Hyodo mod for splash screen. It looks cool. But there seems to be some issue that prevents Opera GX from showing the splash screen. Just a couple minutes ago when I opened the browser, the splash screen didn't show. Instead the browser just opened like any other browsers. I had to exit and reopen the browser. Only then the splash screen showed.

@FatimaMadhurja Most people don't like the splash screen- it makes getting to what they need take longer. For me, I usually only get the splash screen once- the first time I open the program after it gets an update. I'm not sure it's supposed to appear more often than that. That being said, you can always look up how to turn the splash screen off and try doing the reverse.

@Warfrost Agreed, I'm not sure why anyone would want the splash screen. I was only using Opera for one specific task but recently switched to another browser for that. I guess the ultimate solution, until they add a way to keep the splash screen off, is to not use Opera. Regarding your note about how to turn the splash screen off, various things have been suggested, none of which consistently worked (across versions) for myself and others.

@chawke That's so odd. I still only get the splash screen the first time I log in after an update, which I like because then I know there was an update. They really ought to add a setting to just turn it off, or turn it off except for right after an update.
