Opera

[Lioness]

I have the theme thing that is based on Tokyo's fashion district. I forget what it's called. It looks quite cool though.

Do you mean Shibuya Pink, Lioness? Don't your eyes hurt after a while?..

Mine's Tango CL -nice and clean.

 

[Lioness]

I think that's it, and nah...I don't have it bright pink thankfully. I think I have it blue.
My eyes did start hurting when I set it to Japanese, but then mum deleted it and dad's computer wont work with IMEs, because he has XP but an old version of Office, and it wont work with both.

Eesh! I tried the Shibuya Pink, and although it looked pretty in purple.... No, just no. I think my eyes would bleed.

And I tried yours, Py. It looked fantastic - until I went to check my mail (F4). It made it unreadable, with this giant dark purple background behind my recipients list.


So, I changed to SmartMenus.org with the "indigo" colour scheme added. Very subtle:

Opera seems to have issues holding my 'last visited pages' as the 'home page'... baaaaad Opera. I may have to dump you!

 

[Majimaune]

Highlander, you can change that (like I have) by going to Tools > Preferences > General and it should be there somewhere that you can set it to blank page, page last viewed or home page and I think a couple of others.

 

[Lioness]

Ok, I'm at dads now so I have a screenshot of what my Opera looks like. It doesn't hurt my eyes at all.

 

[Majimaune]

Thats nice Lioness. The thing I like about mine the most is when mine is like this. It looks cool. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q291/Majimaune/Untitled-2.jpg

 

[Lioness]

Ah...very nice.

my speed dial is pretty plain...but if I change the theme to a speed dial that I like:

It looks cool, but the rest of the theme looks weird.

I do a search for new posts on the chrons, then I hold Ctrl+Shift and go down the list clicking on all the interesing ones!

Sometimes that's more than 50 pages open at once

Yes, I did that and it's not *keeping* the pages I told it to keep. This... is a bad thing. As I hate having to retype site addresses. I have different places stored in different browsers - so I can open them and just see the stuff I wanna see... when I tell it 'use previous pages' (or whatever the setting is), and I open and get 'BLANK' - this is BAD. And I no like it.

I imagine you can do it in the other browsers, but I've yet to find it - in Maxthon I can set up URL Keys and URL Aliases. The URL Keys are my F buttons, to which can be assigned multiple URLs, which will open when you hit the F button. For example, I have Chrons and another forum assigned to F11, a number of gaming sites assigned to F12, and so on.

A URL Alias is the same, except it's a word or phrase that I type in my address bar to open up the site linked to it. Only one URL per alias, though.

 

[Highlander II]

Well, I do think that I may have cleared the browsing history, which may have wiped out my 'last visited pages', but still - I think it did it before and I *hadn't* done that.

And I don't like reassigning the 'F' keys - I had a keyboard where Microsoft had changed 'em all and 'F5' suddenly wasn't refresh and it was SUCH a pain in the mikta!

 

[Lenny]

F5 and F1 and the only two I haven't re-assigned (F1 by default creates a new tab, and F5 is too useful to change). Do you actually use the other F keys for anything?

 

[Highlander II]

Yeah - I use F7 and F12... spell check and 'save'; F10 is 'open'... at least, in typical Microsoft programs. (tho, technically, they're old 'word perfect' operations)

Plus - I'm used to those keys being used for other things at work - so reprogramming them takes too much memorization... I's lazy. *g*

 

[Lenny]

If you don't use them for anything within the browser, though, then it might save you from the three-second memory of Opera. But don't tell anyone I said that, particularly not Leisha - she'll have my guts for garters!

*takes guts and hangs them up*

Under the General tab in Preferences, Highlander, set the startup to Show start-up dialogue. That's what I use and it's never failed me in all my years.
