Maybe this thread can be a sort of catch-all in which beginners can gain from more experienced Opera users. Currently, the information seems to be linked to the Opera version.
Sope has made a post here in the thread Opera 10 RC. And Terarus wanted to know more about customisation in the same thread here. I too have been getting off-topic here ![]() So, to start off, I'm trying a cut and paste from the Firefox thread to here: Quote:

Overall, I find Opera a bit too techie for me except for the Turbo service which is wonderful (since it requires not brain-power from my end ![]() |

Continuing with my whinge about setting the background color, I wonder how Opera achieved this:
Under View > Style, we get a drop-down menu. Keeping the Author Mode active, if one ticks High Contrast W/B that is pretty much what I want except that I would like a black font on a light grey background. There is some loss of functionality but it would work with sites I'm familiar with ... |

All people trying out Opera remember not to assume anything and just ask. Its really surprising how much you can get done without memory-hungry, temptationToInstallMore-inducing extensions.
Edit: Sorry. Didn't read your new post while posting this. Maybe that file is not allowed to change. Copy that file elsewhere. Do your edits and point the location in preferences>advanced>content>Style options to your custom file. Last edited by sa1; 04. Apr 2010 at 06:37 PM. |

I would not advise a newbie to follow all those links though except the first link that Sope gave earlier and operatips.com . Its better to use the browser for a week or so first discovering features on your own before visiting those links. Also people migrating from other browsers having extensions just ask which features you want in Opera and you will learn quite a lot. That would be a good enough way of migrating but regardless you'll have to try it for at least a week to discover features. Some features don't sound great but are very helpful but others like Ubiquity sound great but are less useful. (to me at least.) Last edited by sa1; 04. Apr 2010 at 09:11 PM. |
