My suggestion is to simply get rid of the combined address/search bar. We already have a perfectly good search bar right next to the address bar, that works as intended. There is no reason to combine the two functions.

If I switch my desktop theme to Aero (which is needed to keep videos from tearing (true idiocy on Microsoft's part, BTW), then the problem manifests.

Switching back does not fix it. Only thing that does fix it is exceptionally stupid. I have to shut down and restart Opera.

There. You guys have what you need to replicate the bug.

Why the hell doesn't anything ever freaking work as advertised?

Installed, and not seeing any way still to download a video.

File this under "Just another piece of garbage to not waste your time with.

Does not work.
Do the Opera guys even try to vet plugins here?

Not working. All I get is some unreadable ad when I click on the tool.

Does not work at all. Every video I try to download, I get an errir saying Unable to Connect to Download Ninja.

Saw that error my first try just now. Error gives a hint to actually get the video running first, then it should be detected. So far, 2 for 2 on my test downloads.

So far, so good. Just downloaded a couple videos from Bitchute and am now finally getting around to installing VLC to try them out (Just recently had to do a W7 reinstall and am still getting the ol gal set up.

I will give my star rating, FWIW after a little more testing.

And NoSquint Plus ended up doing what I needed after all. Turns out it was working, but one particular page I downloaded to be able to reference locally without needing to be online was simply resisting everything I could throw at it.

My solution was to find the entry in its html file that set the background and change it to 000000. Now the page is behaving the way I want it to, and is actually readable.

Thanks. Never would have guessed at using those as keywords for this objective. having a look now.

Is there any way to override a web page's background colors so it can be either changed or removed completely clientside?

Some pages I need to reference regularly are nearly unreadable with dark text on a dark background.

I am using 47 on an Intel Atom based netbook running 32 bit Windows 7 Pro.

So even after discovering and using the "Konami Code" to bring up so called power user options, I am not seeing any way to do a background override, something I thought was industry standard on browsers nowadays.

Even more frustrating, I tried NoSquint Plus for Opera, and even after changing backgrounds in the plugin's preferences, the settings seem to get ignored and I am still stuck with the author's asinine colors. That is a real shame, since I have enjoyed using NS Plus on Firefox with no issues, yet the Opera version seems to be broken and does nothing.

Any other suggestions for plugins that should give me back control of how I view web pages?
