Might want to mention that Opera now has developer tools in the form of Opera Dragonfly (Tools -> Advanced -> Developer Tools). And in case anyone missed this from the last thread: Give feedback on Opera's UI.

The settings for the scroll marker are: 0 is off, 1 makes the marker show only if you go to the bottom (and maybe top) of a page and 2 makes the marker show every time. I think 1 is the default. I learned this a number of days ago when I noticed the scroll marker showing up. I imagine that the scroll marker is much more useful if you're using the Full Screen mode.

Anunnaki posted:I love this feature too. Opera has made Mouse Gestures a staple for me. If the browser doesn't have mouse gestures, it's crap to me now. It's true. Mouse gestures spoil you and don't go to any web browser without them, lest you find yourself trying to close a tab without the cursor anywhere near the tab.

Im left handed and Im using a fujitsu p1120 touchscreen and i have to reach across the screen when i want to scroll. Im new to opera and like it so far. Been using firefox for the left scrollbar option but Firefox takes about 15-20 seconds to startup, where opera and IE6 take about 5 seconds. Go to Opera:config -> User Prefs -> Click Left-Handed UI.

I didn't see this posted anywhere in the thread. It's a little story about Vega, the new vector graphics library, that came out about the same time as the Carakan Javascript engine. Opera Core Concerns Blog posted:Vega was created shortly after we started working on SVG support. When we added SVG support in Opera we needed a vector graphics library. We looked into what was available to use and met our requirements (fast, low memory usage and works on platforms ranging from phones to TVs and desktop computers). We did not find and good match for our needs, so we decided to write our own. Bolded emphasis mine. Link I approve of this new library.

There's a new post today regarding TLS 1.2 support on the Opera Core blog. There's also links for testing it yourself, if you're interested. quote:One of the new, but less obvious, features in Opera Presto 2.2 and Opera 10 is support for version 1.2 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, the protocol formerly known as SSL. http://my.opera.com/core/blog/2009/02/25/new-in-opera-presto-2-2-tls-1-2-support quote:Not that I have anything against copying features, because that's what people do when someone creates a cool, new feature. But the big thing I feel bad about is that rarely does anyone acknowledge Opera. A long time ago, when the Firefox Speed Dial add-ons were just coming out, I saw one that basically made it seem as if this was a brand-new idea. The description of it didn't say anything to that idea but there was no recognition of where he got the idea from. To the add-on author's credit, he did change this, after a few people commented and said such. Seriously, give credit where credit is due. Then again, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Are YouTube videos acting kind of bizarre for anyone else or do I have to reinstall Flash or something? EDIT: For clarification, the problem seems to be when you play a video and then scroll down that page. The video goes all wonky until the scrolling is finished.

There's another new snapshot build out. I went and downloaded it the old-fashioned way because I forgot that auto-update is functional right now. That aside, there's a long-rear end changelog in the link. The interesting thing is that there's an issue with browser sniffing scripts that don't like the number 10 in the user-agent string. Apparently, that means that Opera 10's user-agent is going to be Opera 9.8.

Seems to be pretty interesting so far. I'll give the visual tabs thing a try for now, but it seems to take up a lot of space. Maybe if the Menu bar or something was removable ala Chrome.

Now that I'm using the visual tabs (which are growing on me a little), it seems I'm forced to use the extender menu, the behavior of which I detest. I guess I'm too used to Firefox's extender where I can scroll the tabs if I move the mouse wheel by hovering over the tab bar. I will also try out winchanger later. Sounds perfect.

Apparently, some entries have letters in parenthesis following the names (i.e. (G)). Anyone know what this is about? Sergeant Hobo fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Jun 3, 2009 |

Anunnaki posted:Firefox scrunches the tabs together just like Opera for me, and I don't see anything about extender menus in the options. It would be awesome if you could just scroll instead of going through a menu, how do you enable that? It scrunches them together but if you open enough beyond that, it'll add the arrows on either side of the tabs. Then, all you do is hover your cursor over it and scroll with the wheel.

thrawn86 posted:its the single greatest mouse gesture there is. Yeah, I just switched around the tab settings. I have it so that it won't show the list when I use it and I'm starting to like it a whole lot more now. quote:A part of me dies every time I see someone with 8 firefox WINDOWS open, manually clicking in between each of them AND clicking on back/forward buttons instead of using mouse side buttons or the freaking backspace key (on a laptop anyway). This pretty much describes my parents. They were on IE 6 for the longest time and were used to having multiple windows open (which seems to be the root-cause of the whole multiple windows thing). Then they got a new Vista laptop and had to understand IE 7's tabs. I think my mom has it better than my dad does at this point, since she has it set to open up 5 tabs everytime IE 7 and now IE 8 opens. I've been personally trying to push them over to Chrome but no luck so far.

I'm trying out the new feature in the Unite build where you can disable the menu bar. As a result, I'm definitely getting to know the F4 bar over on the left, which isn't a bad thing in and of itself. I think I will keep the menu off for the time. As far as the Unite thing is concerned, it seems the potential is pretty big. It'll be interesting to see what services third-party developers can come up with.

Mithaldu posted:Every web service is a single web server application hosted inside the Opera task. The application itself is written in Javascript, so you basically set up your global variables for the application and then a few event hooks that define which url path calls which javascript function. I'm not sure exactly how the global variables are handled, but it looks like they are stored indefinitely as the application state. I took a quick look at the documentation myself and saw that these services are basically widgets in Opera but with an additional XML-defined element, with the widgets themselves being the typical HTML/CSS/Javascript/XML file setups. The Unite services have access to things like the sandboxed file I/O that the widgets don't. Perhaps it's time to spruce up Opera SALR? Casao posted:The problem is, one of the former Opera 10 releases worked, then as soon as I upgraded it stopped, then it was fixed next upgrade, then next upgrade broke it.

So I recently found out about a little feature (in just the Opera 10 betas, I believe) that I will share. I don't know if anyone has been paying attention to their bookmark menus, but you might have noticed some entries have letters in parentheses behind them (e.g. Wikipedia(Q) ). This was kind of irritating to me since I did not know exactly what they meant or even how they were assigned (very randomly from first glance). After some searching, it turns out that the letters were accelerators. Basically, whatever letter is behind the entry in whatever menu you are currently in, pushing that letter on the keyboard will activate that. Furthermore, it seems that the accelerator assignments are automatic in that if a letter is already in use by the other items (the underlined letters), Opera will use another letter entirely and add the letter to the end of it.

Although pressing buttons does bring me to sites in my bookmarks, so v The parentheses will show up only if all the other letters are taken, or something like that. When you right-click somewhere on a page that's not a link, you should see an option to go to Full Screen. If I'm right, you should see Full-Screen(G). Typing G while that menu is showing should turn it to full-screen mode.

My laptop is on the beta before that one so I'm still noticing it over there. As for it being annoying, it was honestly more annoying not knowing why they were there, not that I would ever really use them.

A new snapshot is out. I was going to make a joke about bug fixes but I decided against it (probably better for you all).down1nit posted:I can't stand it when I don't know something about Opera. Can someone on Vista/XP try this: Enable Voice, download the binaries and restart and see if the menu changes. I'm on 7 and everytime I try to do it Opera crashes. This will drive me nuts, though I'm sure it's something stupid and simple that we're all missing. If you're talking about the voice download failing for some reason, there's a way to get it working by downloading it manually and throwing it in the correct folder. Let me see if I can find it.
