From the Opera web site opera.com:
"Show the world that you use Opera. Put one of these
banners or buttons on your Web page.
As an appreciation of your efforts, you will receive a
registration code for Opera 8 for Desktop, automatically
once 250 unique referrals from your site have been logged."
Opera8 is out, and brings a lot of new features.
The most remarkable is the possibility of user javascripts.
It works like having Proxomitron built into the browser.
It can rewrite the html code of the web site before it is
presented on the screen to the user.
I am using it right now and it works as it should.
I created a folder for javascripts. Well, actually I made two,
jscripts and jscripts-inactive, so I can inactivate any script
by moving it to the inactive folder.
I downloaded a few scripts and tried them, and they work.
As before Opera is very configurable, toolbars and buttons can be
combined in any way you like, even the menus can be customized. The
easiest way to customize is to download a few nice skins and use what
you like best. Earlier the best skin was Breeze2 but now there is an
"Office 2003" skin which is even more minimalistic and nice looking.
Remove all toolbars you do not use, and all fields and buttons you
don't need.
Add your own buttons to the toolbars, and these buttons can be anything,
a web site, an Opera command, a program or a file in your computer,
a bookmarklet, etc..
In addition to all the customization choices in the program you can
also
edit a number of configuration files, and there are communities of
Opera fans on the web, and on opera.com, who share tips about
these hidden settings.
Membership in the opera.com community is free and a simple procedure
of giving a name and an email address, and you might want to give them
a real address, so you can receive replies to questions, free license
for
putting a button on a web site, etc..
