Well I haven't tried the latest build yet, but the Beta 2 is like some kind of miracle compared to the previous releases. After running for more than 24 hours straight and with 7 tabs currently open (and maybe 70 which were opened and closed) GDI is at just 320 (calc.exe has ~160) and RAM at 250MB. Well done guys, I hope the final release is even better than this. One thing I noticed though is that the pop-up thumbnails for some tabs appear on my second monitor for no good reason. This behavior doesn't happen when the tabs are on the left side, but reappears when I put them back at the bottom. The mouse is hovering over the tab next to the SA one:  And a few image-related things that are small and probably only annoying because I'm not used to them. First, it seems that if an image fails to load for some reason, the context menu isn't available for it so there's no way to check its URL without digging through the source. Also, Inspect Element is now the bottommost item on the context menu for images instead of Image Properties, so I click it accidentally all the time. This should be possible to change in the ini files so it's not a big deal, but maybe that placement isn't by design.

For those interested in the Ogg Theora vs. H264 debate, Ars Technica just wrote an article covering this topic. It basically concludes that the best option would actually just be Google making their VP8 codec free and it becoming the new standard--and I could see that happening, if it turns out to be a good codec. Since Google owns YouTube, they could get the ball rolling on widespread adoption.

Since Google owns YouTube, they could slowly implement VP8 and get the ball rolling on widespread adoption. Even if it's a great codec, you're asking Google to either: a) Store all of youtube's videos twice b) Cut off the flash video player and rewrite the video player for all of the smartphones (which some of them would lose the hardware acceleration for) Youtube videos are converted and stored as h264 because Flash player can natively play that and all of the mobile devices that have a Youtube app use this format to get the video. It's also part of the mpeg4 standard and has hardware acceleration and a lot of devices use this. This is just Google/Youtube too, don't forget all of the other flash sites that already use it. 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. Here's a pretty good read from an x264 developer on the topic of HTML5 video and replacing flash. It also goes in to VP8, or at least what we can guess about it, since there's still gently caress all information on it. EVGA Longoria fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Feb 26, 2010 |

What's a good native looking skin for Windows 7 with the new 10.5 beta? I'd like to keep my tabs in the window frame like the default skin but move them up a little bit  Look how big the gap is:

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.

So I'm transitioning into this "everything in the titlebar" approach and it's all conclusively awesome except for the loss of the current page's title in the titlebar. I apparently use it as a reference quite often to assist in keeping my train of thought. So in terms of the realm of the possible, how can I get the page title back onto the screen in some fashion? Javascript, usercss, widget, specialized Opera skin, some floaty thing? Even if it's truncated to a few dozen letters I think it would keep my scattered mind in focus. Could the active tab be "wide" even when there are so many tabs open the rest are all down to favicons? Could a big button be made which displayed text of the current page's title? Could the status bar on the bottom have a text field added to it of the current page title? Maybe a javascript which would float letters or semitransparent letters with a draggable handle? Perhaps one of the existing but personally unused bars could be coopted and reskinned to be very thin and display the page title? I'm kind of exploring what could be done and then settle into figuring out how to do it. What options do I have? I'm on WinXP, if that matters.

Are there any plans for better ways of backing up/exporting saved wand passwords? There are a few different files you have to copy out of the profile folder to save them the way it is now.

The cache on disk all uses hashed names that don't even have extensions so it'd take a lot of work to use it. Browse the cache from within the browser by typing opera:cache into the urlbar.

arcticthunder posted:Is there any news about the status of opera mobile for the iphone/ipod touch? It's actually opera mobile mini they're planning on releasing. Opera mobile will probably never pass the requirement for programs not being allowed to run interpreted code on the iPhone. The mini might pass because all code is run on a proxy before being sent to the phone for display. Last thing I read was that Håkon Wium was confident that the mini would be on the app store soon. Hell, Apple even called Opera to talk to them about the mini.

Hm, the RC is a lot less buggy but for some reason i can't get it to turn off the windows 7 taskbar jumplist. Having that on just isn't acceptable because all I get is a long list and it makes going back to the browser a real bitch.

You can make pretty much any program stop having any Win7-specific features (like jump lists and the like) by running them in Vista compatibility mode. Find the EXE or shortcut, go to the properties, then the "Compatibility" tab. This works even if the program itself doesn't have a "turn off jump lists" sort of option, like with MSN Messenger or Steam or something.

Yeah I know but in opera:config here is an option for turning it off but that just does not work. At least it doesn't for me.

Taskbar Overlord lets you set this to be the default single click behavior for clicking the icon (which is 10x more efficient imo). Drop the time delay for showing the icons when you hover to 50ms and Windows 7 becomes 100x as usable with enormous peek displays.

So I just got myself a new Mac, and copied over all of my Opera settings from my old Mac's home folder to my new mac. Lo and behold I discover that everything copied over fine, except all of my emails. My mail account settings, contacts, and filters are all there, but the individual emails are all gone. Upon further investigation I find out that this is because all of the binary data files Opera uses for storing mail don't take into consideration byte order. My old Mac was a PPC G5, my new Mac is, of course, intel. And now it looks like there's no way for me to fully recover my email. I'm trying to import the individual mbx files from my old mail account and that's not working either. It imports the individual messages and their subjects but their body is blank. I believe this is the last straw. I'm not using Opera's mail client anymore - it sucks rear end. I've had far too many problems where all of the mail data just gets corrupted or something.
