Config panel
Saturday, 22. October 2005, 17:23:16
With the release of Opera 9.0 tp1 opera:config page was introduced. It didn't take too long before people realised that you could style it to your own liking.
This gave me an idea to make a panel out of it. The only problem with it is that on default the page is a bit too wide to use as a panel (I have ~230 pixels reserved for panels). So I took trollop's config.css (which adapts the style of your current skin) and started to make it smaller.
With three things I got it almost to fit:
1) Removed most margins and paddings.
2) Made text smaller.
3) Made whitespace wrap.
At this point there were only a few item that wouldn't fit.
1) MaximizeNewWindowsWhenAppropriate
2) AskClosingDialUpConnections
3) SaveTxtCharsPerLine
4) ExtAppParamSpaceSubst
5) ActivateOnNewTransfer
So I used the followin CSS to hide them:
And that was it. Here's a screenshot on how it looks.
