Ok, following this link in the browser, I managed to run thru all the modes for dark mode and found that Enabled with Selective Inversion Non Image Elements seems to be the one mode that works and seems to be what prior v81 version of the browser uses when displayed.

Web sites are darkened correctly and images and photos are not inverted.
I presume this mode was maybe the default in v81 and that changed to something different in v82 and follow on versions.

I'll keep this link and mode on hand as new versions of GX get updated.

Thank you.

@challenger392 You can change how Force dark mode works in opera://flags Try it and see. Go to

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

Click on the dropdown and choose a different setting.

I first noticed this at my home Windows 10x64 PC with Opera GX installed and Force Dark Pages (beta) configured recently. I though it maybe a problem in cookies or the program so I set defaults back in GX, cleared all historical caches and went to the forum I read: Sample site
https://community.netgear.com/t5/NETGEAR-Armor/bd-p/en-home-armor/page/65

The icons and embedded pictures look normal after I reset defaults and cleared out caches.

However, when I configure Force Dark page and enable it on this site, the embedded picture colors become inverted. Makes it hard to see the picture contents.

I checked on my work PC with same GX browser. It had v81 something loaded. I took a screen capture of same forum site prior to updating GX to v82. Been working fine on v81.

After updating to v82 this morning, I'm not seeing same embedded picture colors being inverted after v82 was updated on this work PC:

I believe it changes some of the forum editing colors as well though not sure about this for this particular forum site I visit. Though this isn't a deal breaker, would be nice to see embedded pictures correctly displayed if Force Dark Pages is enabled.

Looks like the Opera forum pictures are working:

I have been enjoying this features greatly. Really makes reading white web pages easier to look at for longer periods of time. Love this feature. Please don't take it away. Just needs a
little code check on this issue maybe on v82?
LVL3 (core: 82.0.4227.25)
Opera is up to date
Update stream: Early Access
System: Windows 10 64-bit

v81 worked just fine.

Please let me know if more information is needed. It's now tested and happening on two different PCs.

Thank you for your time.

Just FYI, I downgraded my two PCs back to v81 and the problem resolves. I'll stick with v81 until this is resolved for Opera GX.

@nimitz11k
Ya same thing happening for me on v82.

Here's that your site should look like: v81

I recommend you vert back to v81 until someone at Opera can review this and correct it on v82.

@bypedroafoncio Issue is due to a bug I reported already in v82. You can downgrade back to v81 and the problem will resolve.

Try changing the adjustments for for dark mode to see if any of those options mentioned in the first post changes anything.

Had worked with Opera GX on prior version as of 109.0.5097.108 on 6/13/24 on a Windows 11 x64 PC. Closed down GX normally and as I've always have by hitting the X.
Came home today and opened Opera GX up and noticed ALL my 30+ tabs I had listed at the top were now gone and the bookmark took bar that I had populated was replaced with a different set of book marks from what looks like an older version of Opera or got taken from a different brower I hadn't used in a long time.

My PC is dual booting with Windows 10x64 so I loaded 10 up and launched Opera GX there. All last used 30+ tabs appeared long with the tool bar being correct. It updated to 109.0.5097.130 fine and tabs and book mark tool bar data remained.

Not sure what happened on the Windows 11 drive with GX. Any one have any ideas?

I see that GX is on the PC at these locations:
Paths
Install: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera GX
Profile: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable
Cache: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable

Are there any other locations where data maybe stored?
There anywhere I can get the prior session data, tabs and book mark tool bar back from yesterday or maybe since Windows 10 GX wheres there, can I copy anything from that drive over to the Windows 11 drive to maybe at least use the Windows 10 GX configuration?

I miss the days of saving sessions from 15 years ago in Opera.
There anything I can back up in windows for Opera GX settings in case this happens again?
I did make an Image to disk of Windows 11 so I guess worst case I can re-image the drive from just about a week ago and get the data back to Opera GX working.

@atlaswinters
Be sure to clear out all browser caches and set any opera://flags/#enable-force-dark options back to there defaults.

Yo, i have the same proble can u help em solve it i hacve darked panels turned of so i dont have it. Pls ghekklp

What are you needing help with?

@zzann opera://settings/content/forceDarkMode

@Nimitz11K
This issue is fixed. More like you just have to make a settings change to what looks good for dark pages. opera://flags/#enable-force-dark
Pick one of the drop down menu times.
Im using Seletive Inversion of Non Image Elements. Working great on all web pages I have set for dark theme.

@veldam And if you try the opera://flags/#enable-force-dark

Click on the dropdown and choose a different setting, you don't have to disable Force Dark mode.

@thesviper The only temporary fix I found was to re-install v81 Opera GX browser version on top of current v82 or v83 versions as these version cause the problem and have not been fixed as of yet. Then block the browser from updating until Opera can get this fixed.

I see v83 update arrived this past week. It came down on my mac book pro. Pictures and gifs and such are still inverted when Dark mode is used. v81 still working on all my other PCs.
