Digitalx Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 - Exit Opera, and go into your profile folder. Open up opera6.ini- under [user Prefs] stick in these lines: CODE Title=Windows Internet Explorer Application icon=<<PATH TO ICON>>\ie7.ico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blinkybill Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hi, Thanks everyone for your comments , but it is definately Opera 9. To get the title to say Windows Internet Explorer just type opera:config in the address bar and then go down to User Prefs and then Title. Type in the name you want and click save at the bottom of the window. Well it took me a lot of trial and effort to achieve this affect so far but for me its got a long way to go before I will be totally satisfied with it ,but some things i am not sure i will be able to emulate. Anyway if anyone wants this skin please email me and i will be happy to send it to you along with the toolbar ini. cheers blinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blinkybill Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi, Been a while since I posted here so here's my latest version of my IE7 skin for Opera 9 http://i16.tinypic.com/35a7olx.jpg Note: I have done numerous changes to the skin plus also made a custom menu ini to imitate IE7. With the menus I have tried to copy IE7 as close as possible or use an Opera feature that is similar to that of IE7. Currently I am skinning the mail and contacts part of Opera to look like Outlook Express and the Address Book. cheers blinky :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper101 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Here's Mine :) just the normal layout, don't see much point in changing it. The Box in the middle is the CTRL + Tab feature ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushtuckerman Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 earlier in the thread there are screenshots of opera minus the file, edit, menu etc.. bar, yet in opera 9.1 it seems impossible to do this. is there a way to change this? as you can see i'm going for the minimalist approach, having my tabs toggled by scroll wheel and keyboard shortcuts - since the tab bar is useless when you have 40+ tabs open at once anyway (i'm loathed to take up another bar area which could otherwise be displaying the web).

blinkybill Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi Bushtuckerman, If you go to this site http://operawiki.info/CustomButtons and then scroll down the page until you see the heading "Menu Buttons" there is a custom button that you can drag up onto your toolbar which when you click on it will hide the File Edit View......etc. cheers blinkybill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiraya Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hey Blinky its freakish how similar that is to IE7. You even changed the tools menu! I salute you. Please tell me how to copy your .ini file into Opera's program files so I can make it look like yours. I'm new to editing program files so please keep it simple. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkybill Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi jiraya, Thanks for your comments and if you send me your email address I will send the skin along with an "how to install" guide. Please note I am still working on various parts of the skin at the moment so they are a bit of a mess. Since that pic was taken I have updated the status bar to be more like IE7. cheers blinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramian Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 @blinkybill, I'd actually be rather hard-pressed to identify the browser in the screenshot as Opera. I can bet a lot of hard work has gone into getting Opera to look like IE7. I personally prefer how Opera looks (even though I use both on a daily basis). I'm currently using the Native Skin modified to add a couple extra buttons. I haven't really modified it in any way since I started using Opera (when it first became free). cheers!

blinkybill Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi ramian, Well I have had many comments about the skin and how it looks and whether it is fake or it isn't. Yes I have spent many long hours trying to perfect its look and even some of IE7 features. But for me its about skinning Opera and how you like it and I happen to like the look of IE7. But I am happy to see how other people skin their Opera and so I would hope it would apply to me also when other people see my skin. I have actually nearly quit doing this skin many times as it has been a complex skin to get not only the look of IE7 but also some its features. Anyway enjoy what ever you create and let's all appreciate Opera browser. cheers blinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
