Updating all the skins for Kestrel

, , , ...

Today, I did some minor changes in the MSOffice 2007 skins but the reason I'm here is this:

I fixed the mini statusbar introduced during the latest build of Opera 9.50.
I added the following to all skins that I've created and uploaded them again:

[Edit Skin.mini]
Clone= Edit Skin
Padding Top= 0
Padding Bottom= 0
Margin Top= 0
Margin Bottom= 0

[Edit Skin.disabled.mini]
Clone= Edit Skin.disabled
Padding Top= 0
Padding Bottom= 0
Margin Top= 0
Margin Bottom= 0

[Dropdown Skin.mini]
Clone= Dropdown Skin
Padding Top= 2
Padding Bottom= 2
Margin Top= 0
Margin Bottom= 0

[Toolbar Button Skin.mini]
Clone= Toolbar Button Skin
Padding Top= 0
Padding Bottom= 0

[Toolbar Button Skin.hover.mini]
Clone= Toolbar Button Skin.hover
Padding Top= 0
Padding Bottom= 0

[Toolbar Button Skin.selected.mini]
Clone= Toolbar Button Skin.selected
Padding Top= 0
Padding Bottom= 0

[Toolbar Button Skin.pressed.mini]
Clone= Toolbar Button Skin.pressed
Padding Top= 0
Padding Bottom= 0

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR OPERA SKINS!

Kestrel is here!

As many of you know, Opera 9.50 alpha is here. That's right, the very first preview of the upcoming new technologies Opera Software is bringing us. The features I'm using/liking right now:


- Improved mail and page index searching (my favorite new feature so far, it's like having a mini Google Desktop);
- "Open with" (should be ported to pictures and flash files!);
- Performance (yay!);
- Speed (yay again!);
- Feeds, notes, irc chat, etc.
Not using yet:
- Speed dial (buggy);
- Synchronization (tested BUT currently waiting until it's mature enough);
- Mail.


While analysing the new Opera standard skin and a few new ones, I found small problems with my Winvista skins. I will have to fix almost them all to make it compatible. Most problems happened due to the lack of a View bar (which I think it's good and will not be missed by many people).
