I Fell from the Moon

Regular My Opera blog posts don't support captions under the images, even though it would be easy as pie to implement. So I finally got around to making my own codes.

<span class="rightcaption"> [IMG=http://files.myopera.com/drlaunch/thelaunchsite/banner.gif] Caption text </span>
<span class="leftcaption"> [IMG=http://files.myopera.com/drlaunch/thelaunchsite/banner.gif] Caption text </span>
<span class="centercaption"> [IMG=http://files.myopera.com/drlaunch/thelaunchsite/banner.gif] Caption text </span>

Basically, you add a couple of span tags like those above, around the image and caption to have a caption under the image. This is useful for things like image texts, attribution of authors and image information.

In order to make them work, you'll need to add the following code to your account's custom CSS ( Account --> Design --> Custom style sheet).

.rightcaption {
    float: right;
    display:block;
}

.leftcaption {
    float: left;
    display:block;
}

.centercaption {
     clear: both;
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
}

Oh, and the new Neo RC2 needs your feedback.

Opera Unite is Opera's way of giving you back control over the web. Instead of saving your files on websites owned by corporations, you can keep your files on your computer and share them with anyone you want. When you keep Opera Unite running on your computer, your computer becomes a website other people can browse. And this website can contain things like a music player, photo album, file explorer or a chat room. You can even create new kinds of services if you're a web developer.

Anyone can browse your Unite site if they have access to a web browser. You only need to keep Opera Unite running. Your friends on My Opera can see if you're running Opera Unite, and you can see which of your friends are running Opera Unite. You can also password protect all your Opera Unite pages, except the fridge. But since after the rush at the launch of Opera Unite, the service has been rather quiet, which brings me to my question.

I somehow haven't seen many of my friends online in Opera Unite this week. Have you gone back to Opera 9.6? Did you disable all your services? Perhaps you never enabled it. Or are you running services, but aren't getting any visitors? Please vote for your answer in the sidebar poll --> . And make a comment about your answer below. Either way, I'd really like to see more of you keeping your Unite services running when you're online.

Unite really deserves a chance, because it really is revolutionary. It gives you back the control over your content, and allows anyone to run a website. If you value freedom from the strings corporations put on the content you share, please install Opera Unite and enable some of your services. It's really easy. Just run Opera, open the Unite panel, and double click the service you want to share.

Some of you might remember an earlier concept I posted, known as Neo.

The early versions of the code were still in the concept stage, where I tried out various ways to achieve the effects in from the concept design. I think I'm finally past the concept stage and it's a alpha quality theme. And I'm actually able to retain some of the minimalism from the concept. It might still look a bit funky, but I'm looking into it. Most of the ideas from the concept will remain. But I'm considering dropping the rainbow colored menu from the concept and go completely for red baby. Blood red baby.

You can grab your own copy of the code from the design group. No automatic updating yet, in case I screw up horribly. Only recommended for advanced My Opera users yet.

No not here but on the My Opera community blog. For the first time in history they're trying to achieve 1001 on-topic comments. What's the topic? What you love about Opera. Why? Because you can win awesome Steelseries gear. Go check it out!

Maybe my last theme will help? To celebrate the new My Opera, I completed the design of my theme and made it available to you. Check it out here.

Feeling Blue is the first theme I've made which haven't been given the Google treatment by staying in beta because I'm too lazy to fix the theme. So now I've released a complete theme. But I'm not saying it's bug free. That's why it's open-source. Feeling Blue can be used freely and modified freely if you publish your modifications under LGPL.

The theme group is under development at the moment. I'm having trouble adding forums to it, so I'll have to wait until that's fixed before I can let people collaborate on development in the group. But if you have any bug fixes you want added to the theme, just send them to me by PM.

I hope you'll like it.
