Description

This is a dark and translucent skin leveraging the powers of Windows Aero included in Windows Vista and Windows 7. Available for Opera 11.5 The main version is tested on Opera 11.50 (Build 1074) running on Windows 7 32-bit Build 7600. Install the skin by clicking the image on the right. This is a translucent skin which requires an OS supporting transparency. It requires Aero to be turned on. I do not know what it will look like on other operating systems but I think it should work on Vista. It has severe issues on the Mac version of Opera. If you wish to create a Mac version of this skin, do inform me by posting so in the comments section.(2 May 2010) This is my first skin for Opera and I welcome all constructive criticism and comments and bug reports. Credits: Nisarg Kumar Jha (I, myself) for all the graphics and INI work. ki-to: For his great work, the Opera IBIS Inspire Transparent skin, which inspired me to make a skin customised for my tastes. My Brother: For his ideas and suggestions g2spot, kordikr, ayespy, lsoul, yiafar, SergeyS2, DoTheEvolution: For pointing out certain issues of the skin. (Look in the comments for details) Don Ho, and code contributors, for Notepad++ Thank you all for your support. P.S. I'm not much good at naming things so please, forgive the name.

    Really good skin. Thank you!

    I'm too badly embroiled in real life, so work on the skin is rather slow right now. EDIT: A beta version is up and ready, I await everyone's feedback! EDIT 2: Another version is up, which I consider more or less complete. There might be another version soon, but I can't guarantee anything. The new version might have a darker small spinner and a different background for lists, and a few other small changes.

    Opera 11.50 is too close. We are waiting for updated skins.

    Hmm, that's a very odd thing that also happens with the Bookmarks bar. I'll look into it as soon as possible. Thanks! UPDATE: Fixed the bug causing the shrunken bookmarks bar and personal bar. I had messed around with some padding settings for some very early version (this bug is also there in v1.0.5.3) which caused this bug.

    Nice skin!

    OK, look how Search box shows up on the Personal bar: http://www.imageno.com/qqqj7bv96qvypic.html I know, I have 'Text only' style, but other skins, Standard for example, do it much better.

    Okay, I've updated the skin with a few tweaks to make it look all right in Opera 11.10. The speeddial thumbnail '+' button was skinned, along with a few other changes.

    Thank you!

    Great skin:happy:
  • NaturalDisasterSaturday, January 8, 2011
    Oh no, the PDF problem is still here. Looks like Opera still doesn't flawlessly support fully transparent skins.
  • SublustrumMonday, December 20, 2010
    Perfect! Thanks.
  • NaturalDisasterSunday, December 19, 2010
    Thanks, but has anyone tried to open a PDF using Opera with this skin? I rather believe that the problem is fixed but I don't know for certain. The youtube control problem is still there though.

    Totally unexpected! Some times I was wondering, what happened to this script... Thank you! Incredible Design!

    Looks good, works fine. Very nice again. For me this skin has the best visibility on Aero and I'm using it for a long time (even that I want to try something else) simply because I can't find anything better:D
  • NaturalDisasterSaturday, December 18, 2010
    Thanks. I can't promise anything at all but I might just create a non-aero version sometime. But have you already tried using the skin without aero? g2spot said that it works all right for non aero environments too. I think that it uses a shade of grey as background for the transparent parts.
