I want better user-CSS support the hotlist should include configuration information such as css-file, the status of javascript, plugins, etc - for per-site configuration. There was a way to copy the header in the 6.x series, but it wasn’t really documented and I’m not sure it’s there anymore). I want some way to get at the raw email message (for spam reporting. I want more developer oriented features, like a debug window showing what is sent and recieved in the HTTP-session (ascii and hexa-view). I really love Opera and I’ve been using it since the early 3.x-series, but now they seem to be working hard to remove the very reasons why I chose it in the first place. ![]() If I’m going to have to get used to a new interface I might as well do it on free software. If not, I think I’m going to switch to phoenix or mozilla instead. Since I paid for 6.0 (via upgrade from 4.x) I’m assuming I’ll get a free 7.x key. In the beta changing the nav-buttons to “text only” doesn’t work (animated buttons?! Yuck!), and you can’t seem to get rid of that horrible blue theme. I really really hate the new interface, but I’m hoping that the real deal will allow one to use something like the “classic” interface. Shame the back+forward buttons on my intellimouse explorer don’t work in Opera 7 too….I’m hoping that is just because its beta rather than a decision. I will look forward to further adaptations – I hope they don’t come at a cost to that fantastic drop in system resource usage. Also the ctrl+tab menu doesnt come up anymore – Opera just decides to scroll through each open window in turn which I’m not a big fan of, especially when there are multiple pages open. ![]() I miss the normal ‘buttons’ at the bottom for open pages (I know the new tabs can be displayed down the bottom, but its jsut not the same)….just what I’ve become used to I guess. I’ve noticed the javascript implementation is much better, and page rendering as a whole has improved (even renders properly now) – however is this due to greater standards support and the DOM or simply giving in to ‘extensions’ to standards? The new email client is fantastic – a much needed change, and the simple newsgroup viewing ability is still there for when all you need is the information… The new tabs are growing on me, but the overal ‘netscape’ look isn’t too great. The jury is still out on the new ‘funkier’ interface though – the default icons do have a very KDE look to them….but I haven’t found how to show the transfer winddow outside of opera, plus the comboboxes/scrollbars no longer conform to XP visual styles and rather adhere to Opera’s own idea of ‘looks’. This would be compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit windows.I’ve found the beta to be excellent in terms of page rendering, and it also uses less than half the system resources of 6.05 – excellent work Opera. This is complete offline installer and standalone setup for WindowBlinds.
