Finally good-looking widgets on Linux

Sunday, 7. December 2008, 20:44:54

Opera 10, Linux, computers, compositing ...

I can finally use Opera Widgets on Ubuntu thanks to support for compositing in Opera 10 Alpha. Well. I could use widgets before too, but shadows in widgets were drawn over an opaque gray background, resulting in hideous looking widgets.

Opera 10 Alpha has no real show stopper bugs to me. Although icons in Tango CL and PNGs with transparency, such as my avatar,

look somewhat wrong. I'm suspecting these bugs are related.

To enable transparency in Opera 10 Alpha for Linux, you'll need to run Opera from a terminal window. Opera should produce a message telling you how to enable compositing support. Remember to edit your Opera launchers to reflect the instructions.

Have fun with additional eye candy on your GNU/Linux desktop.

The #techie blog now have an interesting article about a recent collaboration between Microsoft (Windows) and Novell (SUSE Linux). This is really unexpected.

Yes. You heard correctly. Microsoft are actually collaborating with Novell to help Linux and Windows work better together. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw this. But I guess both the Linux and the Windows world will benefit from this.
