when opening Opera GX, the browser flashes white before settling on the default dark theme. When clicking the settings gear on the left side toolbar, a white flash appears(also on refresh). When navigating from the default new tab page to a website which has a dark theme, the browser flashes white until the page has time to load

these default blank slate windows should all be black/dark theme'd. I am trying to switch off of chrome and firefox because even with third party dark mode extensions, I still get these flashes of white light.

I hope Opera GX can release an update which eliminates these white flashes as soon as possible, because the "other big names" will not or can not. Please be my browser of choice, Opera GX. Forum Mods and Developers I appreciate you

I would be interested to know what exactly broke or stopped working when they implimented their fixes and what they've tried. I would try a beta build.

Anyway, something something brand loyalty through transparency and keeping people informed is key.

Right now the Opera youtube Is pretty bleak. Last post was 2 months ago to celebrate GX birthday and it was just a short commercial essentially,
Maybe consider starting 5-10 minute update posts to the opera youtube channel? It could discuss whatever tech topics on the internet, current tech news, and of course, juicy insider tidbits about how opera's various developments and tips about current opera software.

anyway thanks
