more about opera on the olpc laptop

, , ,

After all the initial fun and excitement, work around Opera on the green machine makes progress. A few updates:

We are investigating the nasty freezer that kills the whole machine: our static builds are made with gcc 2.95 (try opera --full-version to see the details) to ensure Opera running also on older distros - a special internal build made with gcc 4.1 does not exhibit the problem. Now we need to see if we find the needle in the haystack that causes havoc, so that it can be properly fixed.

To nicely fit into the Sugar environment Opera is also getting a new skin and a new toolbar setup - you can see a preview snapshot of the work in progress taken with xwd before the OLPC Build update to 212 - after the update I seem not to be able to take screenshots anymore, they all result in corrupted dumps… A few tabs open, including newsfeeds - and yes, I told you: you have all of the desktop features available…

Good news! :up: Nice skin also. But I don't understand the meaning of third button from the left... What is that?
Digg? :wink:

That is Reload/Stop

Isn't the X on top-right dangerous ? The default browser doesn't have it, and it's identical with the icon for shutdown (in the top edge of the Frame).

Can you confirm that when the mouse touches the screen edge, the Frame appears ?

dantesoft, the X on top-right is to close tabs, not the application. The default browser doesn't have it, but then it doesn't, after all, (currently) have tabs either... But we are looking into other options as well, and what you see is by far not a final UI.

About the Frame, yes, I confirm - and that makes the toggling of panels with the mouse, in the way we have it on desktop, not a good solution.

Nice skin! :love: - at least the part that can be seen in the screenshot.:wink:
