Hi, from PC and phone, dark mode in specific website doesn't work. Example webpage ''spaceweather.com'' with Chrome ext. dark reader (image down) and Opera dark mode (upper image) (the more white image).

Is there a way to fix the Opera dark mode issue? Thanks

@panosv Have you tried this?

Hi, I'm Best_codes! I'm a full-stack web dev who moderates on the makeblock forum. I have a website, https://bestcodes.dev. I love Opera, so I'm on here occasionally to report bugs and answer some questions.

opera://flags/#enable-force-dark

I tried it already. The dark mode it's not working properly. Same on phone and PC. I don't think it's only me on this. Right?

@bestcodes Tried it already. Spaceweather.com with dark mode on, it displaying well for you? Can you provide a screenshot if you want? Thanks

@panosv yes, the site looks incorrectly here too.

But if you read the tip next to the feature's toggle, it tells that it indeed may not work correctly on some sites.

@andrew84 There are iirc multiple options in a drop down under force dark mode flag. Have you tried diff ones ?
opera may be able to display them using that "workaround" but i think that this is a website problem. site seems to be like a myspace template from the 1990's or something proudly bragging that it excludes AI content or something yet may it should use it for website design. Cant be more helpful cos working from memory dont use opera anymore..

@panosv If none of the options for that flag helped, then I think nothing will.

@ceedee I don't need that site.
I simply confirmed that using default settings the site looks here like in the original author's post.

*I almost don't use the force dark theme for web sites. But if speaking about my small experience, I usually have issues with site which are already dark by default. So dark sites must be added to the exceptions list.

@andrew84 No one does lol but at bottom of page it says 2021 so it is at least that out of date.

@ceedee Thanks. For Chrome i'm using dark reader, but created the topic here to see if there is a bug (just for me) or if it's the Opera's dark mode issue.

@leocg Ok, I just wanted to know if it's general issue with dark mode (it seems that is). Thanks.

@panosv Force Dark Page, basically speaking, just allows you to easily enable or disable the Chromium flag opera://flags/#enable-force-dark and create exceptions for it

@leocg Ok, thanks. Is there anyway to fix this without extension or need to wait from devs for non experamental version of dark mode?

@panosv If none of the options in opera://flags/#enable-force-dark helps, then there is no way to fix it.
