Opera 7.50

[morganpugh84]

Well I just downloaded Opera 7.50 Build 3494 and I am AMAZED! This program is pretty damn good. I have tried Opera loads of times in the past but never got on with it but the new UI in this version is really good (for me at least). It has so many features now!

I always kind of like the new mail client but not the browser well now it has not only newsgroup support but RSS newsfeeds and IRC client! I don't know if I will continue to use it but I am thinking of installing it on my mums computer. She is currently using Firebird but doesn't like it. In her words "it feels heavy" and I have to agree with her the UI is not as responsive as IE and other browsers. Also she gets annoyed by not being able to see the cursor in her posts on websites, etc (don't know if anyone else has had this problem?).

Anyway just thought I would make a post so that others can try out this new version of Opera. The download link is http://snapshot.opera.com/windows/o750tp1_3494.exe

This is gonna sound stupid, but its ****in me off. How in the blue hell do i close the bookmark tab on the side?

[Sushubh]

press F4

there is a small bug (its a preview release for god sake)

if that does not work...

go to mail tab. open any folder from it and then press F4.

Also,

Alt P > Windows > Enable Allow Empty Work Space

Sushubh, my friend, do you know if and how these Panels can be made to "float", as is listed in their context menu?

I mean float as in detatched, like Firebird's EZ Sidebar.

Tools->Preferences->Start and Exit->Start with no pages

[vassie]

Tools->Preferences->Start and Exit->Start with no pages

Nope, that didn't work either

All i want is my homepage at startup, without that bar on the left

I have a couple of questions about opera:

1. where is stored bookmark

2. where is stored temp internet files

3. " " cookies

4. " " emails

is it all in the same opera folder?

Ben

Same here :(

[Sushubh]

told ya... the hotbar is a lil buggy now.

the best way is to press F4.

if that does not remove it.

click on mail tab and then on any of the folders.

that will resize the hotpanel.

then press F4...

this works in my case...

[Rockett15]

:) the panel will continue to return until you click FLOAT instead of off!

will stay with FB

opera handles bookmark the same as ie does... badly

opera:about

this is where u get info abt ur particular system

[Schmoove]

Well it looks reallly nice!!

Will definitly try this out once it is in it's final stage. I hope they did something about their render engine though.

I always seem to have problems with Opera rendering webpages correctly.

Firebird is my main browser at the moment and I think it will stay that way for a long time, but Opera is definitly improving a lot lately!! :)

[trigger_my_passion]

If you want to toggle the left hot bar (housing the panels) with F4 key, right click on the hot bar, choose 'Customize toolbars...', set the Placement to 'Top' and close. Now press F4 and see.

is it worth me installing this version or should i wait for the final one? btw when is the final 'meant' to be coming out?

[Sushubh]

the preview release is pretty solid. usign it full time...

worth installing as upgrading is as easy as installing over the old version... :)

[SickWorm]

Nop! :( It seems (from the screenshots) that Opera 7.23 is much better!! I'll stay with it until a stable version comes out!! :cool:

[SickWorm]

Hmm... :wacko: I have a question!! Why in Opera Website shows "Latest version: Opera 7.23 for Windows" ??? :unsure:
