Quick tutorial on using 'browser.css' and 'user.css' in Opera 7.5. This is meant as an introduction for people not well versed in CSS.

• A file stored as 'browser.css' in the directory \Profile\styles will be used to override browser default styling (and also author styling if you add '!important' to a rule); it will always be applied. Changes in browser.css need a restart before becoming effective.
• You can also create a 'user.css' file. You can control when to apply it with the settings under 'Tools > Preferences > Page Style > Configure modes' and Ctrl+G (Shift+G in Opera 8 and higher).
• See 'Help > About Opera' to locate you Profile directory.
• CSS files are rulesets stored as plain text files, easily created with, for example, Notepad.
• CSS rules consists of 'selectors', which select a piece of the HTML document to work on, and 'declarations' that say how to style that piece. Declarations consist of one or more 'property:value' pairs.
• * is the universal selector.

Here are some examples of a css rules to put in either browser.css or user.css files. You just put them after each other in the css file.

Rule to fix the font face

 * {font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial !important;}
 pre, code, tt, kbd {font-family: "Andale Mono", "Courier New" !important;}

Or leveraging your settings for 'Generic CSS font families':

 * {font-family: sans-serif !important;}
 pre, code, tt, kbd {font-family: monospace !important;}

Rules that fix font size
With some inflexible pages, this can lead to uglier display as text overflows too narrow boxes.

 * {font-size: 16px !important;}
 big {font-size: 18px !important;}
 small {font-size: 14px !important;}
 h1 {font-size: 26px !important;}
 h2 {font-size: 22px !important;}
 h3 {font-size: 20px !important;}
 h4 {font-size: 18px !important;}
 h5, h6 {font-size: 16px !important;}

Rules that fix colors

 * {color: black !important; background: white !important;}
 a:link {color: blue !important; background: white !important;}
 a:visited {color: purple !important; background: white !important;}
 a:active, a:hover {color: red !important; background: white !important;}
