This is still an issue, also in Opera GX. Damn, every time I find put about a cool feature and I decide to give Opera another chance, thinking this time it's for good, a major issue like this spoils the experience.
Yesterday, I was posting about how there's no way to keep Opera running in the background, to get notifications in Windows action center. Opera doesn't even give notifications when open!

[Touch]Sync bookmarks and passwords etcSuggestions and feature requests
There is no option to sync your stuff with your Opera account, to facilitate a lot your life... Which makes this great browser useless, you're just forced to use the regular Opera. Why? It's a real shame...

RE: [Touch]Sync bookmarks and passwords etcSuggestions and feature requests
@GuillaumeD said in [Touch]Sync bookmarks and passwords etc:
same as @david27.
Actually, for those who have Opéra on PC/Apple and an android smartphone, the choices are on android :- Opera : for password sync but without Flow, and old technologie
- Opera Touch : new technologie, Flow, without password sync.
The main feature in 2020 for web browsing between smartphone and PC/Apple, is to sync password !
Without it, Opera Touch is useless.
GuillaumeExacly. When I'm on my phone I'm usually in a hurry, I don't have the time to be typing usernames and passwords, especially on touch keyboards which are so prone to error.

Portuguese spell checker is outdatedOpera GX
The Portuguese (Portugal, not Brasil) spell checking is outdated, it's not up to date with the spelling agreement that came into use in 2009, which brought a lot of changes. It's still using the old one and it's very annoying, when will it be updated?

I use the built-in "force dark page" of Opera GX and the messenger on the side bar is in Dark Mode.
Go on the website https://www.messenger.com , right click and activate force dark page. - Opera GX

RE: I want my Gx Corner to be the default page.Opera GX
@burnout426 said in I want my Gx Corner to be the default page.:
Click the Easy-setup button at the right of the address bar and turn off "GX corner in sidebar". Then, at the URL
opera://settings/onStartup
make sure "Retain tabs from previous session" is selected and "display start page first" is off. Then, the GX Corner tab will always opening when starting Opera, and will always be focused.Even if you have "display start page first" enabled, a new start page will only open and be focused if there are other tabs besides the GX Corner tab opened when you close Opera.
That's a decent workaround. But it should work without retaining tabs from the previous session, as it used to.
The other way you told us next, is not good because it opens a second GX Corner alongside the default one. unless of course you turn On "GX corner in sidebar". -

RE: Opera GX with wide gamut monitorOpera GX
@burnout426 Same here.
Yeah the first pick is too bright... The ICC profile is probably bad. -

Is that difference between the sidebar and the YouTube logo intended?
Yes, in that they're not the same color/shade, so they shouldn't look the same.
The side bar looks very soft to me... Maybe I was really used to more saturated colors on my other monitor.
If I change the ICC profile to sRGB, it looks like this: -
RE: Opera GX with wide gamut monitorOpera GX
@burnout426 I know, it's the same is if I use the default sRGB color profile in Windows, which theoretically should give me inaccurate/ocersaturated colors, since the monitor is wide gamut. Maybe I'm used to it?

Opera GX with wide gamut monitorOpera GX
I got a wide gamut 120% sRGB monitor, and when using the supposed settings ICC profile (Opera is color managed), the sidebar of Opera GX is not very red, not as red as the YouTube logo. It's like a soft red. Is this how it's supposed to be, maybe did the the manufacturer make a poor ICC profile?
On another monitor, which is 98% sRGB, the sidebar is deep red. -
