Entr'Acte

Downloads: 16178 Version: 2b

This is version 2 of the Entr'Acte skin, a skin designed by me to make Opera fit more into the Macintosh. It will work in older versions of Opera, but it's only supported in Opera 9.5.

After a long time of working on a more native icon set I've finally finished it. I tried to make Opera blend in more with the Mac look and feel, yet retain its own identity in the process.

Initial release.

Hmm, I'm jealous that I can't use this skin on Windows. Would like to see a picture of what it looks like.

Thanks.

Actually, I like the previous one (1.0.3) more.

All options of opera black and dialogs too in version 9.25.

nizamax then you have applied this skin to an Opera on a non-mac platform like i.e. windows or linux. It won't work there.

I love the new skin! Though I do have one request ... any chance that the tabs in the tab bar will be made a little smaller? The new tab bar seems to have too much vertical height. Thanks for the great work.

It's just an icon replacement for the default skin at the moment, so its apparance depends on the tab size on the default. I do plan on changing the tab apparance, but that's probably where most of it will end for a while at least until I get the kinks in the icon set hammered out.

This is great on 9.25, 10.4.11. Just swithed over from earlier Entr'Acte. I especially like icons, colour and general layout on mail. Keep up the good work.

Nice update to the original skin.

Keep up the great work.

WOW!
The skin is looking very nice and is one of the (procentual)
most finished skins I have ever seen.

But the Dialog buttons ( "OK" , "NO" ... )and some elements that border this commend writing box, the glowing effects (or simmilar) and
the tabs are missing.

@masterofopera: It's a Macintosh native skin and won't work on Windows, so that's why things are missing.

Hi is the same theme author as the "D.T.A. (Opera 9.5+ skin)" ? Looks extremely similar. But i like this one more. BUT.......the only better thing with the other Theme is the "Highlightning" on the toolbar buttons. Is it something you wotking on. plzz implement that on this theme and you have the Best the om the OSX Platform !!!

No serafins is the author of D.T.A. He asked for permission to use my icon set in his skin. It's a great non native alternative to my skin for non Mac users.

This skin will only attempt to make Opera fit in with Mac OS X, so the hover effects he uses will not be present in this skin. However, in the next release icons when pressed will become darker as they typically do on the Mac platform. The next release will probably be released when Kestrel goes final as many features added into Kestrel's skinning system will be used in this skin.

I prefer Entr'Acte 1.0.3; it's a pity the original doesn't work so well in Opera 9.50. The tab bar in 2b is chunky and doesn't look right when it's at the bottom (the corner bevels and gradient are upside-down). The scanlines are also out of place with the rest of the skin being matte grey. I'm not sure whether it's just Opera 9.50, but the status bar is chunky too (even after removing all the buttons from it). The new icons look like they'd be at home in a KDE or gnome theme, as opposed to OS X.

Alright theme, but a step backward IMO.

I have tried some changes to use this skin for Windows XP.

I have a question on the active skin on the pagebar.

I would like to see the same active skin on the pagebar as the screenshot.

Can you give me any code for the skin?

Khadgar 31. December 2008, 02:43

@Thomas: It uses a default grey color that's in the system's skin itself there's nothing I can really do about that. On Windows XP you'll have to apply colors to the window and hotlist skin parts of the skin.ini to reproduce that. Operawiki.info has a good tutorial on skinning.

Khadgar 31. December 2008, 02:49

@p00ya: Yeah well the BETA skin is the original default skin with new icons essentially. Can't satisfy everyone, but you need your eyes checked if you think the icons belong on KDE. Make your own set, then.

voxel 11. January 2009, 18:31

I'm totally in love with this skin. The icons are so smooth and "friendly", fits perfectly in OS X.

Nice work! Keep it up!

asbjornu 20. April 2009, 07:06

I love this skin so much I would like to use it on Windows as well! It doesn't look like that much work to get going; modal dialogs have black text on black background and the tabs don't have borders, but other than that, it actually looks good on Windows too.

Chas4 28. April 2009, 05:41

For me Opera feels snapper with this skin than the Opera mac native one

Thomas Chah 20. June 2009, 09:59

Well, I know Entr'Acte 2 is released, but we can't see it in Opera community.

Can you send images for Scrollbar Vertical Knob Skin and Scrollbar Horizontal Knob Skin for Entr'Acte 2 to me?
