Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

It's due to qt4. If you have KDE3, install opera qt3.

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

I'll add to that very problem, the fact that I could no longer insert dead keys in Opera's dialogs (search dialog, javascript prompts, etc), ever since I upgrade to Opera 9.6.

I had to install Opera statically linked to QT, rather than the general version, to correc that as well.

A good ol' "pacman -Sy opera-static" will work for you (replace opera with opera-static).

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

inface this verison of opera dont need qt4, it is static verison. so it cant use other qtstyle.

but there is a qt4 shared verison, opera 9.60 build 2436 (the lastest is 2444). you can have a try. this verison can use other qtstyle like gtkstyle.

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

Just as an information. I have packaged opera like this:

i686 version: opera with static qt4
x86_64 version: opera with shared qt3

Why? Because opera doesn't provide a final qt4 shared versions for i686 or x86_64. Do me a favor and please report it upstream to opera that they should provide a qt4 shared version for i686 and x86_64!!!

The only thing I can do is that I package opera the "old way" = shared qt3 versions for both architectures.

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

Yes I've understood the problem.
So I've used a PKGBUILD (posted by a kdemod user) of a qt3-shared version and it works fine.
@Daniel: maybe a shared qt3 version could solve the problem for other people. However thanks for to explain the problem to me
@jarryson: thank you too.

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

i have an issue with the latest opera 9.6 from the arch x86 package (i.e the static-qt4 version).
it's that every time i open opera, its window is maximisez to take full size of the desktop.
i switch back to the shared-qt3 version just for that reason. any one having that issue too ?

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

Qt4's default (or fallback) style also is it's most ugly one..
One can at least launch Opera with -style cleanlooks to make it instantly look better.
Unfortunately Opera's scrollbars don't seem to be style aware and continue to be ugly.

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

Howe can this topic be solved? My Opera still looks awefull.

I've tried with -style cleanlooks, but it is still not the same as BEFORE the upgrade from 9.5X (but better than with no style).
I've tried opera-static but again, its not the same as BEFORE.. The interface looks like the old from 9.5X but the font is not nice, with no antialiasing.

Please help?

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

this is the pkgbuild that I used: http://vries.sabr.pl/opera/PKGBUILD
And this is the topic on kdemod forum that I opened on this problem: http://kdemod.ath.cx/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=1192
Ignore the errors on md5 checksum!

ps: may I post this pkgbuild?

Re: [SOLVED]Opera 9.6 qtconfig problem

Hi,
   I see this is marked as SOLVED, but I hope it's OK if I post this.  I just updated Opera to 9.61, and boy, the menus were butt-ugly!  Also I didn't like the behavior, as I'm used to sub-menus opening when I hover over items in the menu.  I had no idea how to fix this, but after reading over these postings, it occurred to me to try this on the command line:

opera -notrayicon -style plastik &

   Yay, Opera's menus are back to the way I like 'em!  Everything seems nice again.  I'd just happened to have had to kill Opera on the command line, so I had in my terminal that bit of info from doing ps -efwww | grep opera.  So I'm gonna stick that into my .fluxbox/menu entry for Opera (without the "&").

    Hope that's useful info for someone.
