Opera css tweaks

Here are CSS modifications I've made to the mail, wap and irc in my Opera browser. To install them, download the files and put them in [the opera installation dir]\Styles. For the RSS stylesheet (at the bottom), read the surrounding text.

I have a special page dedicated to Opera IRC chat styles.

Mail display

Opera uses CSS to control how the mail body is shown in M2.

Order!

Opera M2 with an ordered header section Here I've addressed a minor annoyance with the default one, namely that the headers (from, subject, etc) almost always show up in different order depending on how they appear in the raw mail. This makes it tedious to read since instead of just fixating your eyes at one point to get who it is from, you need to search for the from field.

Although making mail headers easier to read, this stylesheet will remove some headers in order to put the most used ones in the order I want. I've also made it so that you can change the font-style in the main body from Opera's preferences by changing the CSS font-family monospace entry in the Fonts section. This doesn't affect size though, but you can change that in mime.css yourself if you want. Download the ordered mail stylesheet. The image is a screenshot from the newsgroup opera.test.

Adapt!

Opera M2 with skin-adaptive header section This style adapts to your current skin, that is, the header field takes on a new suit when you change your skin. Download the adaptive mail stylesheet.

(Note: On skins which use single images for buttons, this skin will look slightly odd. Most of the time, skin authors use multiple images though so it shouldn't be a problem)

WAP display

One of the unique features of Opera is its ability to display WAP pages meant for browsing on a mobile directly in the browser window. Opera WAP browser with modified CSS

I don't like Opera's default, rather clumsy look on wap, so I've changed it's appearance quite a bit, making it more readable, and perfect for adding wap pages to the Opera panel (Incidentaly the panels have the same width a mobile screen has). The colors you see in the page are system-dependent. The part where it says BACK ANANOVA takes the color of normal dialogs, while the part where it says ANANOVA will take the color of the active window caption. (As you can see, of course :-) Links are mostly blue visited or not, depending on the type of markup language used in the page. Download the WML stylesheet. The image is from wap.anaova.com

RSS in a webpage

A stylesheet for showing RSS in opera like it was a webpage. I made it for reading RSS in Opera, but soon after, version 7.5 preview came about with an integrated rss-reader.
Opera displaying RSS with CSS If you don't use the mail part of Opera, you'll still find this stylesheet useful though; Opera's rss reader is completely integrated with its mail client, and will disappear if you turn off mail. As you can probably see, all colors are taken from the (yours or my) system. The stylesheet supports RSS 0.9,1.0,2.0 and a little bit of Atom as well.

There are quite a few ways you can apply it, you can find detailed instructions on all these ways at nontroppos opera wiki, but I've included some quick guidelines inside the sheet itself too. Download the RSS stylesheet
