Since I don't know what I'm doing I rely heavily on ChatGPT, so I'm sorry if this a very stupid mistake. But I don't acctually think it has something to do with my code. Here is the problem:</p>
<p dir="auto">I run a node server (server.js), then I can see my website at <a href="http://localhost:3000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">http://localhost:3000</a></p>
<p dir="auto">using edge as browser all colors of the website are as I would expect. Using Opera they are all darker or i.e. black text got turned in to white. So it sounds like Opera is forcing a dark mode.<br />
It wasn't allways like this. I even think I misclicked something when I wanted to cklick on "analyse element". I think it was then that it started showing the wrong colors. But I don't know what I clicked and also not how do undo it.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have the theme set to dark for Opera and I would like to keep it like this. I don't have "force dark site" enabled. Chaining the theme to light did have an effect either.<br />
Also disabeling "Enable Force dark theme on pages from Settings and Easy Setup" and "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" under "opera://flags" had no effect either.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also I don't knwo if that is related but sometimes it still used some old chached version of my html, css, etc files even after reload. I this cases I used the incogni winodw. But for the dark mode problem even restarting my pc did not help.</p>
<p dir="auto">Any cule what is going on?</p>

<p dir="auto">Somehow I managed it to aktivate force dark mode only for <a href="http://localhost" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">http://localhost</a> even though the feature "force dark mode" was turned off. Under opera://settings/content/forceDarkMode I was able to delete it again. Now everything is back to normal.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'll leave the post here for others that might have the same problem</p>
