@burnout426 Thx - that works.
However, I hate where the developers are going with this - making customizing the user's content more difficult. At least they're keeping some of the beneficial options such as allowing custom images for bookmarks.
I was "this" close to just dropping Opera altogether.

Other considerations for developers that are important to me:

1. Restore ability to disable automatic updates in the "Update & Recovery" section.
2. Always allow an option to roll back in the event a new version is intolerable.
3. Give a wallpaper theme option for a user-selectable solid color.
4. Don't enable VPN by default. Opera is slow enough (although it is a bit faster since I disabled VPN, but still isn't as fast as Edge).

Since a recent update, I can't edit or see the addresses in the address field,

@MariChrysanthemum It's so irritating that I've started using Edge as my go-to. I like some of the features in Opera, but if a routine function such as tying in a search causes such angst, then the other browsers that users can use that don't have that problem. That said, it seems that since I applied the most recent update the flashing has stopped.

So, I ask again - is there a way to disable the search suggestions completely????

@LynZK
My settings don't show all that - just this:

And both of those were already off.

Opera One(version: 122.0.5643.51)
Opera is up to date
Update stream:Stable
System:Windows 11 64-bit
Chromium version:138.0.7204.251

When I type in the search bar, the first keystroke opens a "suggestions" pop-up window. Each and every subsequent keystroke progressing to the desired search parameter causes the popup window to flash - How Annoying! Is there a way to disable Opera's search suggestions - or at least eliminate the flashing with each keystroke? It's almost like the popup is reloaded with every keystroke.
Edge, Chrome, and Firefox build out their search suggestions without the flashing.

@sgunhouse
Trivial? Agreed.
Preferable? Of course!
Resource editor? What's that? ( )

@fzmuhammad
I was able to find a way to change it for all desktop icons by searching the web. The only icon that it didn't change is the red "O" at the top left of the Opera browser window, so, still hoping that Opera developers add an option to select a desired icon that fits a user's preference.

@leocg Opera One(version: 120.0.5543.93)

Is there a way to change the boring red "O" to something like the cooler blue multicolored "O" that is seen with an Opera update (both Icon and the logo when the browser is opened?

@andrew84 Obviously. And it's related to a recent Opera update because there were no other changes with my Windows theme. How else are we to report trouble like this so that they actually respond with a solution - or at least a hope of one?

A few days ago all the backgrounds for my "bubbles" for my Speed Dial buttons changed from dark to light (Note the red "X" in the attached screenshot). I'm using Opera's Dark theme, and the page background is dark - as it used to be. How do I change them back to dark?
Using:
Opera One(version: 115.0.5322.68)
Opera is up to date
Update stream:Stable
System:Windows 11 64-bit
Chromium version:130.0.6723.59

Is there a way to force dark theme for a single site? Maybe something like a "switch" at the end of a URL?

1. Most sites support Opera's Dark Theme seamlessly.
2. One of my regular sites doesn't support it unless I force dark theme.
3. Once I force dark theme, some sites that displayed dark theme OK before now are messed up.

I've read in an older thread (yes, they are sometimes helpful) that I can right-click on a page and see an option to enable or disable dark theme for that page. That seems to be the case only when force dark theme is enabled in settings.

@leocg Not quite - I have Excel files on my laptop, but would like to create a bookmark with a local link e.g. "file:///c:..."), but while I can use Opera with that format to drill down to the appropriate subfolder, when I click on a selected file it only prompts me to download it - not open it.

Maybe there's another extension or maybe a plugin available that I haven't found yet???

Is there a way to open Excel files from Opera on a Windows PC ?
I've tried the legacy "Documents" extension (latest revision was 2014!), but it doesn't seem to work in current Opera versions.

Never mind - I just found it. It's the "Privacy Protection" button (the shield with a check mark inside it).

Is there a way to add a button or something to the Menu bar to easily add a current site that I'm visiting to Ad Blocking Exceptions? (Something like the "heart" symbol to add a current site to Bookmarks)

The new Opera One(version: 100.0.4815.31) is missing the beloved Speed Dial button on the previous defaulted top left area of the browser. How do I get it back so that it's presence is persistent and not just a one-timer set as a browser app start page?

Is there a way to create an exception and keep login-related cookies for specific sites when I clear "all" history/cookies/browsing data?

How do I view my synchronized devices from both Windows and Android?
