my stepdads beer posted:Hahaha I just tried Opera on Ubuntu and it looks like poo poo. Font rendering does not respect system wide settings (sub pixel smoothing), uses weird custom GUI toolkit that looks really out of place and the 'Tango' theme really doesn't look like Tango. I use Opera in XFCE. As far as I can tell, fonts have always worked and looked fine. I've actually had more of an issue with Firefox giving me lovely fonts than with Opera. The GUI toolkit is Qt. Use qtconfig to adjust the theme. You might be able to find one that matches your system theme pretty well. Opera being mismatched with the OS is a problem on any OS. They kind of do their own thing (look at the HTML form buttons, they don't match in any OS), which can look good or bad. I installed the Opera 9 theme, since I really don't like the black Opera 9.5 theme. It still doesn't match the OS, but I think it looks a lot better as I use a light-colored theme in XFCE too.

sm8000 posted:Unanswered from the previous thread. Both computers in question have Opera 9.62 Copy <opera settings dir>/cookies4.dat from your work PC to your home PC. This will overwrite all cookies on your home PC with all cookies on your work PC. If you're not okay with this, you'll have to do it "manually" by opening up Tools -> Advanced -> Cookies on your work computer, searching for the AYB domain, then writing down (or copy/email, whatever) the cookies and their values, and adding them on your home computer. Edit: Actually, I don't know how to add cookies, only edit existing ones. The overwrite method will work, but the "manual" method needs a bit more info to add cookies to a domain.

It was bound to ctrl+alt+z but there doesn't seems to be an option in shortcuts. Just Ctrl+Z works for me, you could also try Ctrl+Shift+T (or whatever it says under Window -> Closed).

I get it because my mouse will randomly read a double click when the batteries get low. I think it's kind of interesting how mouse-focused you guys are while I'm completely keyboard-focused. Want to switch tabs? Ctrl-tab. Close a tab? Ctrl-W. Open a new tab? Ctrl-T. Reload current tab? Ctrl-R. Submit a post? Tab, space. Note that those are all left-handed shortcuts, so you can use the mouse to click links or go back & forward (thanks rocker gestures! the only ones I use) and use these keyboard shortcuts at the same time. Also just goes to show how awesome Opera is since it supports mouse-focused and keyboard-focused styles perfectly

I find myself using Firefox most of the time, because its Linux version just looks natural.

Wallin posted:Those of you on OSX: are you able to regularly open a new tab, and first thing you do is use a keyboard shortcut for search without it crashing? If so, what version of OSX are you using? This isn't really in response to your question or anything, but a handy Opera feature you might not know about is to give bookmarks "Nicknames" which you can then just type into the URL bar. For example, I bookmarked the forums and gave it a Nickname of 'sa', so when I want to hit the forums, I just type 'sa' into the URL bar and hit enter. Much easier than typing the full URL or googling or whatever you do to hit common sites. Also: type /. into the URL bar and hit enter

antimatter posted:I have been using opera for a few days and its quite nice, its bloody fast too! However I've been suffering an annoying bug/glitch, in that once in a while I will lose focus on the opera window, in that I can still do things with my mouse, but it just does not respond to key press at all. Yeah, I've had this problem too, also running Linux. It happens to me maybe twice a week, so it's not that big a deal for me. How frequently do you get it? What window manager & desktop environment are you running? Are you able to reliably reproduce the issue? I've also had a problem where switching to another workspace (using Ctrl+Alt+#, my shortcut keys) and back causes the Ctrl key to get "stuck" in Opera, which means when I use the scroll wheel on the mouse, it zooms the page in/out. This is a much more annoying issue for me, though it could be the recent XFCE upgrade loving up.

LooKMaN posted:Is there any way to make Opera show filenames for images? This is due to WaffleImages doing redirects for the images (Reaganputin.jpg => 7602c8b82093c1271bf829c1f46710e1f22d4499.jpg). Opera displays the redirect URL, Firefox displays the original URL. I honestly don't know which behavior I consider more correct. In any case, viewing the page source will get you the original URL (you can use Ctrl-F with the "junk" URL to find it more easily). Or, you can quote the post and find the original filename that way. More workarounds than a solution, but maybe it'll help.

Make a directory called usrjs, save that file as usrjs/hand.user.js, and put that directory name in Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Javascript Options -> User Javascript Files. To turn them on/off, you can move them in and out of that directory (not sure if it searches recursively or not), and might be able to just rename the .user.js part to disable them. Experiment and I'm sure you'll figure that bit out.

Casao posted:I'm using http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ on 3 separate machines with the latest builds of Opera 10 and I don't have this elements 0/0 thing on any of them. Using the hosts file is a really, really terrible way to do adblocking. It will cause every query that resolves a domain name to parse the entire file to decide what IP address to resolve to. If the file's big enough, or your computer slow enough, it can slow down your web browsing noticably. But less obviously, it can slow down other programs that might resolve names more frequently. A lot of people use it that way, and if it works, then it works, but that's really not what it's intended for. As far as autoupdating your block list goes, just write a quick cron job to run weekly. * * * * mon wget -o ~/.opera/urlfilter.ini http://some.website/adblock.list

200th Poster posted:I tried out Opera 10 because of the advertised Turbo feature. I frequently have to use a very slow connection that is 256k. Whereas before I would wait between 30 and 60 seconds for a web page to load, with Turbo enabled I find it is taking 2 or 3 minutes for pages to load. Am I doing something wrong, or is the feature just bogus? I had the same experience. Turbo actually slowed down my already slow connection. Seems bogus to me.

ufarn posted:Are you looking for a better filter, or? Just a tip with block content. If you just click on an item, it'll block that entire directory (with the intent of blocking directories containing nothing but ads). You can also use Shift+Click to block just a single image file. This is useful for blocking things like ugly/annoying avatars on the forums without blocking all avatars.

There's an issue with the latest version of Qt and Opera <10.10 which hit me on my Linux box. Upgrading to 10.10 should fix it, so just do that. You can override it with some environment variables, and I can dig up that info if you want, but you should really just upgrade. If you're not on Linux, then I don't know.

I played with Opera Unite for a couple minutes tonight (homework can wait...). It looks pretty cool to me. I like how it works; you don't have to upload anything, you just share it. Obviously has uptime & bandwidth considerations, but just for quick file sharing, it's a lot more convenient than other services. It also worked perfectly with my rather complicated router/port forwarding setup. Looking forward to toying with it more later. It talked about "installing" Opera Unite applications, so I wonder if there's a possibility of user-created applications?

Casao posted:Because h264 is a superior codec that's the modern de facto standard. It's the same as saying "I'm not gonna bother including HDMI in my television because it has costly licensing fees, let's stick to composite in." How much did you pay for Opera? Consider that Opera has to pay an h.264 license fee for every browser download (how else to work out a per-user fee?). This adds up quickly, and it'd be especially stupid to add this functionality now before the "standard" codec is actually decided. Opera doesn't have the resources that Google does to pay these fees. The other option is to negotiate a fixed rate per-year (or whatever) with the h.264 license holders. Again, no reason to do that yet. They'll just support the actually open standard that anyone can use until they're forced by the market to do otherwise. This is the smart thing to do, and hopefully they'll win. P.S. I don't actually know how licensing works with h.264. But I don't care about the superiority of your codec if I have to pay a license fee or agree to curtail my rights to use it. I want to kick whoever decided not to require an open standard for the HTML5 video tag in the balls.

Casao posted:x264 is the de facto standard of web video which is what's being discussed. And a browser's not a standard. IE6 and IE7 are damned different too, so split them. The point is, you're making lovely arguments. I back any standard that is freely re-implementable. h.264 doesn't have that feature. Theora is the best video codec that does, so it's the obviously best choice. You might not care about signing away your rights, but many people do, no matter how many little pictures you spit at them. And once again, there's no reason for Opera to support the more expensive and legally complex option until the market forces them to. In the meantime, they can support the cheaper, simpler option in the hopes that it wins out.

Casao posted:h264 is the de facto standard for a reason. I'm not against using something else that's technically on par with h264, but they're going to have to come up with some AMAZING benefits to outweigh the enormous downsides and costs with using anything else. Ogg is not this, and I'm not aware of anything else that provides these incentives. I'd love if h264 were a viable option. I'm sure you're correct that it is the best current codec. But it's patent-encumbered. If you can't freely implement and distribute a version of the standard, you simply can't make it a required part of viewing content on the web. There really is no two ways about this. It doesn't matter how awesome it is if you can't legally use it. Obviously the correct solution is to eliminate software patents. But until that happens, we have to choose the best codec from those that are actually legal to use.

Bonus posted:Is it just me or do fonts look better and sharper in 10.60? Holy poo poo, yes. I just upgraded a few minutes ago. It's weird how much whitespace there is because the fonts are so crisp. Also they fixed my favorite "bug"  You can middle-click on a tab to close it, and you can double-click on an empty bit of the tab bar to open a new tab. Prior to 10.6 (or maybe 10.5), you could middle-click to close a tab, then left-click once on the empty space. It would register as a double-click, causing a new tab to open where the old one was. Oh well, guess I'll unlearn that habit.New skin looks awful in GTK. It's half-integrated, so you get all sorts of different widget styles. Switched to a 10.10 skin, and it's back to consistent. E: is there any way to make the suggestions dropdown thing from the URL bar not take up 50% of the window to display 4 options? That's a bit much... E2: They also fixed the autoscroll "bug" where you could use the scroll wheel while still remaining in autoscroll. Stop fixing these awesome bug-features!
