If you haven't upgraded to Opera 6.1 yet, then do it now - the anti-alias support is 10 times better - everything is soooo smooth and pretty :cool:

too bad I couldnt get java to work in 6.1 I guess it uses java itself now and not the plugin. It's been a real pain in the butt as it kept crashing and I couldnt get java to work. But reading up on it now.

is there a way to force every font to be anti-aliased? it looks beautiful when the fonts are AA but when they're now...bleh.

I'm running Opera 6.03 under Redhat 8.0 and my fonts are really nice, no AA problems at all. ??

What virgins did you guys upgrade from? I hate fixing something if it works... cuz I usually hose it bad. But... if I can get more eye candy... maybe it's worth it...???

I've just downgraded from 6.10 to 6.03 since I feel 6.10 is LESS stable... :mad:
Anyone else hade the same experience?

I haven't tried to remove ~/.opera and start all over.
Shouldn't have to, plus I've made to much fiddling with the preferences to really feel it's worth the effort.
I think I'll pass 'til the next version.

Yes i'm sure 6.1 is quite/very unstable i'm glad that it can continue browsing after crashing (and it crahes oftenly after login and when i start browsing).

Same here.
If the session survive for the first 5 minutes then there were usually no problem.
The feature to resume previous session with all windows saved is truly a blessing! :)

Ditto nothing more to say.

The only problem that I've had is that I have to manually set the file, page, status and main bar each time I open it up....real pain in the butt.

Seems they've released Opera 6.11 with a few bugfixes. Unfortunately they didn't include the goofy bars problem, after a few minutes with the trusty vi, I whipped that rc into shape!

Opera 6.11 seems much more stable than the previous version.
That's probably why 6.11 came out so quickly...

afterthefall: What's this with the 'goofy bars'?

A few things they never seem to decide on is:

* Copy/paste and how it works.
Do you need to use ^C or does it work with mouse...
This is especially noticeable (spelling..?) when you save a file and would like to create a dir out of the filename.

* The bookmarks menu.
Does it expand per default or du you have to click folders to expand...

I don't wanna complain though, since I'm using the free version with ads... :)

It was a case of that every time I loaded Opera, the only bars that would be on top would be the address bar - no page, status, or file bar - and the settings wouldn't stick if I used Preferences to change them.

I had to go into the ~/.opera/opera6.ini file and hand edit them to get them to stick.
