Strange Windows 7 Problem
And after you click on something the entry STAYS on the screen :(
The only thing I could find to this problem is this: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?Feedbac... Any help would be highly appreciated!
My Opera 10.1 wish-list

- Pasting of images into HTML-Mail (and btw fixing making bullet lists and allowing changes to the HTML Code as a whole)
- While at it, it would then be nice to copy rich-text from websites...
- Folders/Groups for RSS-Feeds
- Video & Audio HTML5 Elements
- Visual-Tabs that use the Win7/Vista DWM so that they are "live" and can show e.g. Flash Animations without CPU overhead.
- CSS3 Border-Radius and Box-Shadow
- ...and last but sure not least: fixing the massive RAM usage the last view builds introduced.
As you can see, it's not really much I'm asking for in the short term.
But if you're interested, here is what I think/hope is coming in the future:
Opera 10.5 timeframe:
- Carakan
- More UserJS posibilites
- Calendar and Jabber/XMPP support (maybe this will come only with Opera 11, as I don't expect so many things in such a short timefrime - see Update below)
- Some cool CSS stuff
Opera 11 timeframe:
- Vega UPDATE: Obviously this will come much earlier. Opera Devices SDK V10 was just released and I was told that this already contains Vega. So maybe we'll see some version of Vega&Carakan in one build before Opera 11...
- CSS3 Border-Radius and Box-Shadow (In the Vega blog post they wrote that it is easier with Vega to create such effects...)
- M3 (or hover it will be called). I guess the backend won't change much bit the whole email/calendar part will be displayed with Vega
- Crazy UI Effects
- ???
- World-Domination

Is there an open-source single-project-use license?
I'm currently planning a project of mine that (when finished) might be of interest to others. Therefore it seems sensible to put it under some open-source license.
But to be true, I don't like those licenses for anything that is bigger than a proof-of-concept...
My problem with those licenses is mainly that everyone can use the code to create something I didn't want it to be, or just forking it and therefore making 100 products out of one. For some people that is what open-source is all about but it isn't. That would be free software, and I'm no supporter of this (Richard Stallman is just too ugly ;) ).
What I expect of an open-source license:
The license that I want should allow everyone to use the software in binary form just as they want (even commercially). One might change the source however they want, but they are only allowed to:
- Publish the patches
- Send the patches to the original project
But one should not be allowed to distribute modified binaries or the whole project with modified sources.
Maybe this sounds strange to you, but this is just what I want. If anybody knows of a professional written license that does what I want please comment! Thanks!
Opera sometimes doesn't get toolbar sizes right
status bar like Chrome. (Its only good feature...)

The things I'll miss most in the Opera 10 Final
- Fixes to the HTML mail composer:
HTML mail is very nice, but if you can't create something simple like this numbered list without getting into trouble it's bad. But the biggest disappointment by HTML mails is that I can't paste images from the Clipboard! - Support for HTML5 <Video> & <Audio>
The very early lab builds showed that it was easily possible but it won't be included according to some devs @Twitter - Enhancements to UserJS
One build showed a jsplugins folder that, according to some NDA documents that Google found, could be used to create native extensions to UserJS. Gone some builds later... - Folders for RSS Feeds
One should expect this to be really easy to implement... :( - Visual Tabs on the sides
Visual Tabs are only a gimmick. But now this gimmick doesn't let me place my tabs where I want :(
I was told this wouldn't come before 10.1 but: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2009/07/31/tab-thumbnails-on-the-sides-a...
Well, it's just like with every piece of software. You'll always have to wait for version x.1 :)
I'm still looking forward to the next version of my favorite browser! http://www.opera.com/next
Opera using Windows Aero Glass
As I like Opera and I like the Glass effect of Vista/7 I created a small application to activate the effect for Opera.
It is currently terrible code, the glass height is hard coded and it doesn't look well but it is a start I wanted to share.
My biggest problem still is that black seems to be used as the transparency key thus, as you can see in the screenshot, the text shadow and the thumbnails look terrible...
Maybe someone knows how to fix this.
Attached to this post you find the source&binary as well as a slightly adapted skin. The only big skin change is that I created an animated page loading favicon.
I hope you will put this to a good use :)
Update: For downloads see the comments. Posterous had some problems...
