Tweakers upgrade guide from 7.5x to 7.6 previews
Friday, August 27, 2004 11:13:24 PM
The 7.60 preview is out, and should preferably be getting a clean install on your system when you want to test it. It is just a preview, after all. But for the tweakers here...
If you want to reuse your setup files made for 7.5x, you'll have to change a few things to take advantage of the new features. So below you'll find all the changes in the setup files since 7.5x.
- Toolbars: the Voice button was added to the address bar and main bar. Only relevant for Windows users BTW. You should be able to add the 'Voice' button to the toolbar of your choice from the 'Customize toolbars' dialog. The 'buttons and fields' repository and the 'Defaults' are taken from the standard_toolbar.ini, which will be updated by the upgrade. So the new button is available there, no tedious editing necessary. The only other changes in toolbar.ini were some minor localization changes.
- Keyboard shortcuts: The new keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F9 (stop speaking!) was actually already available in 7.5. If you have to add it to a custom keyboard setup, it looks like this: F9 ctrl = Cancel current voice (and it goes into the 'Application' section) Also added to 7.6, in the 'Button widget' section which hopefully no-one modifies: Enter shift = Click button Enter shift ctrl = Click button
- Menus:
For those who have manually edited their menu file, they will have to to do some more edits now. New items are included in the menus in these sections:
- Mark thread as read, in the [Mail Item Mark Menu] section: Item, 70126 = Mark thread as read
- Kick with reason and Ban under [Chat User Control Menu]: Item, 70044= Chat command, 9 Item, 70047= Chat command, 10
- The new Medium screen mode aka 'Fit to width' is placed under the [Browser View Menu]: Item, 69482= Enable mediumscreen mode | Disable mediumscreen mode
- The Voice console is placed under [Advanced Tools Menu]: Platform Windows-QNX, Item, 69312= Show Voice Console
- And lastly there is a direct link to the Voice help under [Help Contents Menu]: Platform Windows-QNX, Item, "Voice"= Go to page, "opera:/help/voice.html"
