“KDE/Gnome skinning integration with matching open/save dialogs” in 10.53

Is it possible to switch to the old open/save dialogs?

Anyone?

Please?

I'd use anything other then the GTK's open/save dialog.

And how does Opera even determine what kind of dialog to use? I'm using neither KDE nor GNOME.

There's also this another “feature”: “Buttons in dialogs having the correct order for a GTK application” which is so annoying...

XFCE also defaults to the GTK dialog. If you have KDE installed, you could try manually switching to the KDE dialogs (which are more like the older Opera dialogs) in opera:config ... just type "toolkit" into the search field. A value of 1 (or 3) selects the KDE dialogs, a setting of 2 selects the GTK dialogs, a value of 4 selects very simplified dialogs for systems which have neither toolkit installed. Note that form fields and buttons will also follow your toolkit setting, it is no longer just dialogs - but that's the setting which existed in older versions. Oh, of course the default is 0, which means automatic selection.

If KDE is not actually running, trying to use the KDE dialogs may fail (with the result that Opera will crash when you try to display a Save or Open dialog) - it did in some of the previous versions, I haven't tested it in 10.53 or later versions yet. (If it does fail, restart Opera and switch it back.) The simplified dialogs will work regardless, but have no file list and thus are probably not what you want.

Eh... as you suggested, 1 and 3 did not work and gave me the simplistic dialog.

I'll try to install some kde-base and see what happens.

It's strange thou that Opera cannot use the default Qt dialogs -- for years that's what it was doing and I wasn't complaining and the recent change to integrate more with the desktop environment only made it worse then before...

kdebase & kdelibs didn't help...

Eh...

As far as I'm concerned it seems Opera's usability has been going downhill for quite some time.
