12 Alpha 1105 - Blur Effect

Is it possible to turn off this blur effect? I looked through the preferences and didn't see anything out right. I'm really not liking this. It may be fine on a phone but it's not good on a desktop...at least for an old person like me.

Which blur effect?

I've attached images. It looks like all the tabs that are not active are blurred, also on the google search everything is blurred except what I have selected. This never appeared like this until I updated to 1105. It also seems to effect the search box in that I can no longer click to arrow to select another search engine.

I have the same problem

Tell us something about your system. As this build has hardware acceleration, include your video hardware, version of windows, etc. See opera:gpu to see what Opera finds ...

Sounds similar to an old nVidia-related issue, where their nview utility was changing video modes while Opera was running which resulted in blurred text ...

HP xw4600 - Intel Q6600 Quad core @ 2.40Ghz, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 7800GTX 512MB, Windows XP SP3.

I'm running dual screens but not using the nView desktop manager.
The machine is used for development mainly C# and Python.

I had the same issue, it looks like overdone font smoothing or something...

Disable hardware acceleration, restart and it will look fine.

Check your graphic card's settings. Very probably you have some setting "forced". (Typically the default setting is something like "let applications choose" whatever. You probably set AA or AF to a specific value. Opera then can't change this dynamically.)

If you reset all your graphics card's settings to default it will probably work fine.

IF NOT, please post all the text you find under opera:gpu and your OS version.

How can I reset my graphic card's settings?

Same issue here, which turned up only upon the second and subsequent runs of Opera. I just disabled acceleration, since it's never going to be supported for a card like this anyway.
