My setup for 9.2

Wednesday, 18. April 2007, 22:49:23

, , , ...

You are all wondering what setup I use myself of course. Not so easy to answer, because I use several installations of Opera at different machines!

  • Hugin on the latest Merlin installation for POP (work mail) and IMAP (private mail) and newsgroups and newsfeeds on machine A
  • My own custom setup in a Merlin installation for browsing and webwork on machine A
  • My own custom setup in a Peregrine installation for browsing, webwork and IRC on machine A
  • More Mail in a Merlin installation for IMAP (work mail) and browsing on machine B
  • Twelve in a Peregrine installation for browsing, webwork, newsgroups, newsfeeds and IRC on machine B
  • And of course usually several versions or Merlin and Peregrine installed at both machines, all kept as default as possible
Machine A is a decent desktop machine with plenty of diskspace, and is the machine I make my backups from. Machine B is a laptop I use for working in whatever room at home I fancy. Total Commander and WLAN make it easy to access my work documents on both. Using both POP and IMAP for accessing the same work mail server isn't perfect, but it works for me.

My custom setup
.. is just one of the setups I use then :smile:
The menu and toolbar isn't all that spectacular, not anymore. Just some developer and convenience additions to the menu, a few changes here and there, and extra buttons to the Status bar and the View bar. There's Twelve if I really want different.

The mouse gestures have these two special items:
GestureLeft=Open in background page | Stop | Back | Delete mail | Close page | View Hotlist, 0
GestureRight=Open link in new page | FastForward | Forward | Reload | Mark mail as read | View Hotlist, 7 | Reopen page
The keyboard shortcuts contain all the extra's for More Mail, plus some additions and removals to the other sections. After stripping out the shortcuts that didn't change, this is left of the file: delta-rijk_keyboard_900.txt Note: it is not a complete setup file after this stripping.

Updated setups for 9.2

We've been rather busy with getting 9.2 out of the door, its been over a month since I last posted! To commemorate that release, I've updated all my custom setups.

Here you can find all the auto-install links, with links to old blog posts for some background info. Remember: use Ctrl+F12 > Advanced > Toolbars to get back to your previous menus and toolbars.

Twelve
Ribbon-inspired radical setup. Use the menu and toolbar together. Hide the main menu with Alt+F11 after tweaking the shortcuts.


Hugin
Mail-only setup. Very minor update. Use at least the menu and toolbar together.


More Mail
Sort of a Hugin-lite that adds more mail-specific menus, shortcuts and buttons, but doesn't remove the browsing functionality. Use at least the menu and toolbar together.


Bigger Menus
Just what it says.


OperaFox
Firefox lookalike. Menu and toolbar updated to be more like FF 2.0. Use at least the menu and toolbar together.


Opera Explorer
IE6-lookalike, minor update. Not really recommended - an IE7 lookalike would be better :smile: Use at least the menu and toolbar together.


Seven-Five
Return to the looks and shortcuts of Opera 7.5.


Eight
Return to the keyboard shortcuts of Opera 8.0.


KISS
Opera setup for partners and parents. The updated KISS below is even simpler than the one described at the link above.


Classic Clutter
Return to the toolbar-bonanza of Opera 7.23. Now with Startbar as well..


Single line
One toolbar for menu, navigation and status field. Hide the menu with Alt+F11 after tweaking the shortcuts.


About-this-site
Extension for the document page context menu.
