How to remove the black background?

I'm kind of getting used to indistinguishable current tab, but...



That black background over address and navigation bar. How to remove/replace it?

I said "windows standard", not "opera standard". It's just unbearable.

Thanks, I've looked already for hours. Nothing is there.
I've also looked for manuals to write skins myself. With same results.

What you should have said was "Windows Native." The default Opera skin is called the "Standard skin." The "Opera Classic" skin was the one that used to be the default in Opera 9.x

The Windows Native skin has been dropped. It is too much work to maintain two skins. There are still some Native Skins in the Skins Repository, but they were not updated for Opera 12.x so you get black toolbars.

Too much work to maintain standard skin? >.< I don't get it.
They spend time pushing crap into my eyes, but don't have time to fix 1-file skin that don't have anything besides a few lines of text?

I am tired of whining willies who contribute nothing and expect all the work to be done by others. If you think its so easy, read the tutorial and do it yourself. The native skin that I found has 1136 lines in skin.ini — that should keep you entertained for a few hours trying to figure out which sections need to be changed. Search the customising forum for some tips. bye

It's kinda hard to "contribute" without documentation on how to do it.
I haven't found any tutorial to make skins. Mind pointing into the right direction?
"Searching for tips" doesn't help - I don't know what to search for. English is not my native language. And I don't have hours of time to read everything on forums.

Perhaps not, but at least you should find time to read the replies already given to your own threads.

I did. If you don't understand, that I can't use the "standard opera" theme, and want "standard" as in "operating system standard" interface, we have nothing to discuss.
The operating system itself, be it Windows or Linux, have enough support for theming UI controls, which I can use, if I want to modiify them. And when I use them, I absolutely do not want a single program to be a pig among the horses. It could've been comical, if not being too weird to look at.

Also, I've checked just now the dev.opera site. Nothing has been changed in last year. Zero information about theme building.
