Opera Skins
« on: August 10, 2008, 01:32:23 pm »
Okay...Firefox keeps pissing me off.

I downloaded opera and I absolutely love it. It's skinning feature where it downloads skins and lets you use them immediately totally blew me away. Does anyone have any recommendations on cool skins or addons for Opera to make it even more sexy than it already is?

It's an ABSOLUTELY huge difference. Opera seems to be faster, looks completely different and uses a completely different rendering engine.

In terms of speed:
Opera > Firefox > Safari > bollocks > IE

Skin is "breeze simplified micro" and the File menu is collapsed into the Menu button.

I just wanted to save screen space / have more space for many tabs.

I will change it to some aqua skin right away though.

HOLY poo! Because of this I may never go back... Thanks a lot! :)

And thanks Amblin for the idea of keeping tabs at the bottom of the screen. :)
