Can I ask the same thing, but for the tab bar?

Try different skins or edit your favourite skin.
The standard skin uses a stretched box tile to produce the transparent window.

Can anyone recommend a nice simple skin that doesn't have any transparent crap in it? I've tried several that looked promising, but none of them got rid of it completely. I'll look into editing a skin if I have to, but I'd be surprised if no other people have wanted this fixed.
I think in a few years people are going to look back at the use of transparency in modern applications and wonder what the hell people were thinking. Having a transparent tab cycle popup is a perfect example of form over function, making the tab titles harder to read (you often get a visual jumble of text on top of text), without offering any advantage at all.
Personally I miss the simplicity and consistency of the good old Windows classic skin.

Thanks for help identifying the section controlling the popup. What's the simplest edit to kill the transparency?

Well, you'd have to edit the cycler-window.png image in the skin file using a program such as GIMP or the like to make an image that didn't use a transparent background for the text.
In fact, I just made a quick edit of the standard skin for you :
standard_skin_opaque_cycler.zip
and here's the cycler-window.png image in case you want to use it elsewhere :

I guess that this is a newbie question, but where do I copy those files to? Do I copy them to the Skin folder off the Profile folder (Opera\Profile\Skin) or do I copy them into the ZIP files that are in stored in Opera\Skin?
Again: this is XP Pro with Opera set NOT for multi-user mode (multiuser=0 in the ini file).
Thanks!

You have to find a zip file with your skin, and copy cycler-window.png image into backgrounds subfolder of this zipped file.where do I copy those files to?
