Quickly check if people are talking to you in Opera IRC
Sunday, August 23, 2009 8:55:44 AM
Opera automatically highlights text when other people say your IRC username, to tell you to pay attention. But if you are away for a while you have to scroll up and check. You can use CSS to summarise how many times people have said your name so that you can quickly see if you missed something.
The following will display a counter at the top right corner of the chat window showing how many times people have said your username.
- Copy C:\Program Files\Opera\styles\im.css in Windows or /usr/share/opera/styles/im.css in Linux to profile\styles directory. This is to avoid overwriting during update and to make backup easy.
- Add the following CSS code to the bottom of copied file and save.
.highlight { counter-increment: personals; } .highlight:after { position: fixed; top: 0px; right: 0px; content: "Your name has been mentioned "counter(personals)" times"; border: 1px dotted #552; padding: 1px; background-color: #ffffe1; width: 25em; } - Specify path to IM Style File and save.
- Restart Opera.
