• Fixed the line below dialog tabs in native skins
  
• Tweaking and improvements to Windows native skins (both themed and classic) based on feedback and bug reports
  
• Fixed a problem with wrong handling of some filetypes, including messed up display of mhtml. This was actually fixed in the last weekly but we forgot to mention. To make the fix apply if you upgrade from an older snapshot using the same installation directory, you must remove the [File Types] section in opera6.ini.
  
• Mac: Fixed color corruption when copying images, plus we now preserve the alpha channel
  
• Mac: Possibly fixed printing crashes on Leopard
  
• UNIX: Plugins in symlinked directories should now not be listed twice
  

Known issues:

• MIME type for executables is set to be handled by some plugin - change the configuration in your preferences to get this to work correctly.
  
• Sparc builds will crash when initializing anything related to mail.
  
• CPU usage will grow to 100% on UNIX when generating tooltips.

Definitely faster on my notebook. www.msnbc.com used to bring the last beta to its knees, but this new build handles it no problems at all.

[Steve Gosselin]

Holy :| Speed Dial looks amazing, if a bit ruined by crappy JPEG compression. :p Now if there was a way to use the default icons... these icons are far too big. What new effects does this skin use?

Anyways, great work! (Y)

there is... or you can set Icon size in Appearance Dialog, or I should include 2 sets of icons.

a 5-star helps to get more people try it out, if u would rate it.
