            The dark mode is great! Once I saw it had it I redownloaded Air. Dark mode works well for the most part but just curious if more enhancements will be coming later on to fix things like the settings menus etc to match the dark mode theme?

                @scrapefour yes, more improvements in the Dark Mode is coming. We are already working on them.

                  Wow...I thought it was hopeless and yet Opera actually listened. The sign of a successful company is that they listen to their customers instead of dominating them to their will. Well done Opera. I am going to go buy Opera stock now in my 401K because this company looks like they are interested in wining the browser wars. Good luck Opera. I'm rooting for you.

                        1. force dark mode on all pages option is missing
                        That is correct. Force dark mode comes from chromium and requires more research from our side. We have reports that suggest such feature might cause flashes or other strange behavior. So we want to make sure to keep the browser healthy before adding it.

                        2. transparent wallpapers on speed dial have white background not gray like in regular opera
                        I'm afraid I don't understand what do you mean by "transparent wallpapers". Could be so kind and share some screenshots?

                        3. active tab is not gray, just the icon of a tab turns gray
                        Tabs and visibility of active tab will be part of upcoming improvements. It won't be gray, but it will be more clear which tab is the active tab.

                        4. Tab Islands this year
                        Under research. However, we don't expect to have it this year.

                        5. will you implement chrome 140 flag to reduce white flashes : CSS caret-animation property
                        Also under research. Might be a part of upcoming improvements but can't promise that.

                          @Mlipka 1. Chrome 140 most likely fixes those issues with CSS caret-animation property
                          2. Here's the example of Opera One with transparent PNG wallpaper image_2025-09-26_170640852.png

                          VS opera air
                          image_2025-09-26_170859771.png

                          Opera AIR shipped with major issues that turned off a lot of users, number biggest issue with 40 000 views just on opera forum was Dark Mode number 2 was Tab Islands feature has more than 20 000 views among different threads and sites, how is this not a priority before adding additional features
