I love 'magic'

Opera's Rendering mode always makes me smile. If you set opera:config#UserPrefs|Renderingmode to 5, to enable ERA(Extensible Rendering Architecture), then newly opened page will be migically rendered. Yes, with "a bit of magic". I like it very much indeed!

The official 9.10 information at opera.com, explains it no more, instead they offer the setting of '-1', 'Fit to width' mode, which you can set from GUI now.

The above test are done with 9.20 weekly, BTW.

It's the technology that renders everything inside your window. Nice tip.

To Eddie_Lopez, just set RenderingMode to 5, then open a link in a separate tab, then you can see what's happened.

I'm late forty years old, so recently small fonts are difficult to read without glasses. ERA is quite helpful for the people like me, indeed.

i am not sure if it is working for me on opera 9.20 build 8713
all i can notice is that newly pages has large fonts, is it that ?
i can set default zoom ratio to whatever i want from "opera:config#UserPrefs|Scale"
also it is not noted there:"http://www.opera.com/support/usingopera/operaini/"
they mention modes from -1 to 4

I have some problems with rendering mode = 5

Widget layout broken (too big font-size) - experienced with My-Opera Explorer and with my (pretty simple coded) Operized Search.
Font-size on Opera:config was very small
Lines were displayed one above another (as if line height is only about 50%) - very ugly and not even readable.

(effects seem to need restart to work, I couldn't see a regularity as the rendering seems to be different also on the same webpage)

My guess was this would be the new feature not yet seen in a desktop browser - maybe it works better with some internal builds.

I'm using 9.10. But for one thing, gmail looks very strange in rendering mode 5.
