@lowlife9: The lack of color in high contrast theme mode is more apparent in "Windows 10" than "Windows 8.1"
I've got to say this sort of thing does not happen in FireFox in either windows???

Opera Chrome and Edge all the same in a triumvirate of anti-contrast.
I can not use Stylus any more, what has happened?
All my speed dials have black bands for writing and pictures gone in "High Contrast"
I do not want to use stupid windows theme.
I need syntax highlight.
With windows I have to go high contrast.
Firefox only browser useable unless change windows theme.
Is this "The End"

75.3939 works now Thanx a lot!

Yes having delved deep into the mysterious crash reports. Dark.UI is repeated.
Reset ui in 74 then back to 75.
Swapping between Light to Dark in 75 makes a crash!?
I shall try to find reason why. I do not want to reset everything.

~ "Dark mode ui with odd color and size adjustments strike again" ~

75 still works but........ DEBUG.LOG says
crashpad_client_win.cc(522)] CreateProcess:
registration_protocol_win.cc(103) CreateFile:
-> The system cannot find the file specified.
............could that be cos i deleted them?

Possible culprits.
.\installer.exe
.\installer_helper_64.exe
.\installer_helper_lib.dll
.\launcher.exe
.\notification_helper.exe
.\opera_autoupdate.exe
.\opera_crashreporter.exe
A motley crew!

The epilog:
I have no use for these persistently annoying files except for launcher and that famous egyptian or is it chinese song and dance "SANDBOX" in linux.

74.0.3904.0 | 14-Dec-2020 14:46

At this point upgrade to 75 results in a "non-starter".

75.0.3925.0 | 04-Jan-2021 12:08
75.0.3932.0 | 11-Jan-2021 12:37

I have installed separate version 75 and all fine.
Can only think settings of some sort are now out of sync for upgrade route?

@lowlife9 Interesting fact.
You cannot copy paste a standard table from any browser to WordPad except good ole "Internet Explorer"

@gmiazga I think you may have nailed the point into the beast.
I will await with baited breath as to the illustrious findings from "The High Contrast Theme" team
cos yr right na funny menus wen i'm in placid blindin white and pastel shades of pastoral magnolia.
Windows Default Theme.

@leocg I thought this was a singular topic of individuality.

@burnout426 Check. I tried Hardware acceleration turned off but to no avail.

@burnout426
Here is yet another unusual one

@burnout426
Once again after a crash auto restart, the crash occuring this time from right clicking in this window
the menu ....

@burnout426
Here is normal when "settled down"

@burnout426 As shown above on windows 10 the main menu in BRIGHT green with my system using a High Contrast theme.

on Windows 8.1 looks like this

Themes

Right now I have got Right-Click phobia.

@burnout426
The result of restart

@burnout426
Here is familiar problem occuring:-
right click leads to program instability highlighted with menu foreground becoming color menu background color.

@burnout426 I shall try the whole caboodle on windows 10 (current 8.1 x64) with a seamless join and report back.
Thanks.

@burnout426 Not any of the above. autoupdate, crashreporter. notification are crippling browser with all extras.
The current problem i realize is ...
MENU > MENU > MENU > what jumps in
css or js, jumping in to the right click menu and then
being disabled (probably with (new) CORS) then crashing whole browser.
Too much JS, CSS, additional supplements advertising agencies, supportive rich umbrella companies with their own agenda's.
I dont want disable extensions.
I dont want loads of other thing working in the background.

As i said before permissions.

There is no reason you cant deliver zip/7z extract to folder and run in folder,
the process has become too complex over years trying to make everyone happy everywhere.

I did want opera as my default browser but i did not want files distributed in either "ROAMING", "LOCAL" or anywhere else.

I wanted one "PORTABLE" browser. extract into folder "PROFILE" in that folder, delete or backup if necessary and make default.

Just found this thread! At last gasp! Please see my Right Click Crash / ~ Returns thread.

@lowlife9 link text 7z of one of multiple crashes.

@burnout426 OK I have resurrected crash reporter and launched into the abyss I will busily gather with their help all that is necessary. Await my next report.
