How to make Opera look native in KDE 4

[freedguy]

This small guide's gonna show you how to make Opera look like any other KDE 4 application (well, almost )


1) Run your Opera and visit this page: Opera Oxygen Project

2) Click "Download Skin" button. Opera automatically downloads, installs, applies the skin and asks "Do you want to keep this skin?". Click yes.

3) If Opera doesn't applies the new skin automatically go to Tools -> Appearance and select opera_oxygen_project under "Skin" tab.

4) Under the same "Skin" tab (Tools -> Appearance) select "System color scheme" from Color scheme drop down menu.

5) Go to Tools -> Preferences and select the font your KDE using under "Web Pages" tab as well as in "Fonts" section under "Advanced" tab.
Dejavu Sans looks well with default openSUSE font.

6) Thats it, Enjoy

P.S- make sure you have latest Opera installed (version 9.5 or later)

UPDATE!!


This skin is way better than the above one: Oxygen skin for Opera

1) Download the zip file and copy to ~/.opera/skins without unzipping.

2) If you want you can follow the rest from 3 in the previous post.


NOTE: The next version of Opera, Opera 10 will support qt native skinning.

I am using the latest qt4 snapshot builds and opera already supports native skinning!

This skin + native menus looks really good!

Yeah!

But the snapshot builds are giving some problems for me.
