Need Dark mode, my eyeballs are burning out of their sockets, light mode doesn't make me feel more "mindful" at all!

I think this would be enough for most of us regarding the entire browser and would fit perfectly with the Air.

@Mlipka okay you’re making it sound like it takes months to implement dark mode. As a UI designer, it’s literally just setting a couple of elements that are currently set to a RGBA values like FF00000, and making them black. It can literally be done in 10 minutes tops with a couple of lines.
Then you place a button in the settings menu that switches the values, a light appearance button, and a dark button appearance button. Which switches the RBGA values on the fly to whatever button you press.
I’m telling you how it’s done, because you’re making it sound like it’s some grandiose high budget feature. It’s just ten damn lines of code and a simple update. But yeah, this browser is literally unusable without it. So maybe fix it??? It would attract a lot more users. Look at any screenshot of an OS in 2025, twitter, Reddit etc No One Uses Light mode anymore!!!

@tadeonkipp23 Nope, that's not correct. What have been said is that Opera Air was designed to have light mode only (the same was Opera GX was designed to have dark mode only) and that changing it requires rethinking all the project and can't be done in a couple of days.
Opera GX got a light mode after some years, maybe Opera Air got a dark mode in the future.

I find it deeply disappointing that after almost a year that Opera Air was released, there still is not a proper Dark theme for both the interface and the menus. I mean... it's not like they don't know how to do it? Is this just another browser to experiment with? For goodness sake, I love the interface and its workings... but get a dark mode already. I can now understand what Vivaldi was born from your stubbornness to keep the user in mind.

This thread is the best! My fellow dark moders Unite!!! I'm just using regular Opera. It's coo, although I have recently started using MS Edge and I got to tell you, they are getting it pretty good as far as browsers go.

I just can't understand how it's possible to release a new browser without a dark mode. These days, all major browsers (Firefox, Edge, Brave, Safari, and Google Chrome) have it as a standard feature. I honestly don't get why this hasn't been implemented yet. If it doesn't arrive soon, I'll probably switch back to Edge.
Opera Air is a great browser with genuinely good features, but after a long day of work, my eyes hurt. I also don’t want to install some third-party extension that only half works.
This should be something your development team could add to the browser in a single sprint. -

@mohamedsalah I'm at peace at dark. I appreciate that you started with a light theme and the reasoning behind it. However, for many users, including myself, a dark mode is crucial for both comfort and productivity. The reduced blue light and the overall aesthetic of a dark mode can significantly improve the user experience.
Many users find dark mode less straining on the eyes, especially during extended use. It also tends to help with focus and reduce distractions. The implementation of a dark mode would greatly enhance the accessibility and appeal of the browser for a wider range of users. I hope you can make this the top priority. Thanks!
