Will do but it's not going to happen anytime soon I guess since there are only a few 10.70 builds who run under 98/ME even with KernelEx.

I'll do a new skin when/if we get all 10.70/11 builds to run properly.

And of course I'll update the skin for the 10.60 builds if anyone finds issues with it (I am not using all of its many functions so I might have eventually missed/overlooked a few things).

No problem.
Just let me know when.

Now using your skin with Opera 10.63 and I do like it.

Excellent! Thanks!

loblo,

Opera 11 Final is released and running fine here.

The new 'standard_skin.zip' is heavy: 1048 KB
Your skin is lacking a few elements, like for instance the arrows and other stuff to design multiple tabs, leaving a wide space instead.

Could you be kind enough to look into when possible?

Thanks.
Charles.

[loblo]

Ok, I'll have a look since 11 is now final (I am not using it myself so far) but don't expect anything before the end of the year.

Better late than never, here comes the Opera 11 skin for Windows 98/ME.

Two (identical) versions:

Standard Skin replacement to replace the original standard skin in your opera/skin directory :

or

Optional skin to go in your profile/skin directory and to be selected through the appearance options dialog:

Quick and dirty work using the latest barracuda release as a base so let me know if there are any issues with it..

Of course!

So, I have tested the 'standard_skin.zip' in main Opera\skin directory
with Opera 11.01 & with Opera 11.10 alpha (=Barracuda).

Here are a few things I have found:

1- Ugly color on the address bar beginning:

 Address_bar-SpeedDial.png (1.46K)
Number of downloads: 2
 Address_bar.png (2.01K)
Number of downloads: 2

2-Black frame remaining in Security infos (=click on left of the address bar):

 Security_infos.png (4.25K)
Number of downloads: 2

and with some Extensions
(tried with Icon List by Vectronic):

 Extension_IconList.png (8.39K)
Number of downloads: 2

HTH
Charles.

EDIT: you can now change the thread title to '... Opera 11' .

Thanks for feedback CharlesF, this is all done along with some other minor improvements (namely changing the color of the 1 pixel borders of popups from black to grey which I think is more elegant), links in the post above updated with the newer versions.

Also updated post title and first post with all current links.

loblo you rock
I really appreciate your work.

[loblo]

Thanks CharlesF, sorry it took so long to get my head around doing it.

[CharlesF]

loblo,

there is still minor differences for thumbnails, between your fixed skin and the standard skin in XP.

They are so minor that I'm not sure they are worthy of report:

 Thumbnails_Skin.png (19.09K)
Number of downloads: 27

and I don't know if they can be easily corrected .

Most of them aren't broken with the original skin in Windows 98/Me.

[loblo]

Skin color in the thumbnail frame: Done.

Rounded corners and arrows: Not possible at all, sorry.

Thumbnail below the tab: I can do that but then the thumbnail disappears when moving the mouse from the tab to the thumbnail. I have lowered it by 3 pixels though which is the lowest possible before this begins to occur.

Also I have modified the positioning of the security popup.

Updating links now.

[CharlesF]

Very nice! Definitely better.
Many thanks loblo.

 NewThumbnail.png (8.38K)
Number of downloads: 6

[CharlesF]

loblo, your skin is breaking an extension: Translator

The button is not working well with the fixed skin:
 Bug-Translator.png (2.49K)
Number of downloads: 1

Could you be kind enough to take a look in this issue when you'll have some time?
I don't think it should be such a big deal.

Many thanks in advance.

[loblo]

Do you mind testing those skins CharlesF?

They are new skins I made a little while ago and didn't post yet and they don't seem to be affected by the issue you report here.

OK, my bad: I was testing with Opera 11.01 (because there's too much stuff that I don't like in 11.10: new Speed Dial, files are now dispatched in 3 places including 2 in %windir%, some commands are no more working like 'Execute program', ...)
So, with version 11.01 (build 1190), this new skin doesn't make any difference.

In version 11.10 build 2092, whatsoever skin (the previous or the last) displays the correct button.

[loblo]

Opera 11.10 issues:

I don't like the new speed dial layout either and accordingly the new skins still have the old layout.

Try to put the attached ini file in your Opera 11.10 folder, this should restore all the stuff now by default in windir appdata to Opera subfolders.

The execute program commands won't work anymore unfortunately but the open with command still does and I have got it working on page background and links. Adding programs to it involve creating/editing registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet.

HTH

Btw, do you like the new improvements to the skins?

Attached File(s)

•  operaprefs_default.ini (457bytes)

Thanks loblo, for all those , but it seems that Opera 11.10 will take me some time to fix eveything the way I want.
I can't deal with it currently.

The 'operaprefs_default.ini' file you are providing, create a new 'profile' folder and makes Opera behave like an Usb install.
I was already thinking about switching from a classic install to a standalone one, to avoid this spread out of folders.

For now, I am using the original 'standard_skin.zip' with Opera 11.01, to get my extension working.
