Thanks Ceedee & leocg. I thought it was just me..... and perhaps it is..??
Will venture into the world of Help. Surely someone must have heard of it

Define 'exotic'...?? I cannot think of anything unusual

Hi Ceedee, I do not have any exotic theme installed on Opera. I tried to keep it as simple as possible

Hi ceedee, thank you for all your efforts. Attached is the 'easy pop out' you required. Unfortunately, the snapshot is not allowing me to go up as far as the tabs, but the previous screenshot that I sent you covers that.

I placed the two computers next to each other and ensured that all the settings were identical including 'Dark Themes' etc but still no change. The Windows 10 laptop is fine but the Windows 7 desktop is still the same. Do you think it is something to do with versions 7 or 10?

Thanks for that. Tried but a red box appeared in bottom right corner saying that I have not got enough 'privileges' (whatever they are.......) Any ideas how I get to be privileged?

Hi @ceedee , thanks for the screenshot which looks good to me and I have found that this is the same as on my Windows 10. On my Windows 7 computer, however, this is where the problem is. I will have to put the two computers side by side to check on settings.
In the mean time, should I need to post a screenshot, would you explain the procedure as I have not found out how to actually post it.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. My 'Dark Theme' is enabled which gives me a blue background with white text on the active tab, (Great) . Non-active tabs are white with light grey text (unreadable). The 'Back', 'Reload' and 'Search' text is also unreadable

Does anyone have a solution for almost unreadable text on browser tabs. The text on my tabs is so faint that I am unable to read it easily. The only one that can be read is the current 'coloured' tab. I cannot seem to see a solution in 'settings' but maybe I am missing something
