Opera all fugly after Gutsy install??

**herbster** · October 21st, 2007

It appears to be using my GTK now all of a sudden for menus, and the top menu bar as you can see offers invisible text all of a sudden. I even moved out my .opera folder, letting it create a new one, but to no avail. Choosing Windows Native makes the whole thing fuglier and no appearance settings are making a difference, none that I've tried anyhow.

Try using the repo version of Opera (they have one now, latest build, whoopee!)

Code:

sudo apt-get install opera

qt3-qtconfig might be the friend you need.

I removed it, reinstalled from repo, and installed qt3-qtconfig. Still the same

Try a different GTK theme.

My Opera looks pretty nice:

Opera 9.50(MeGuiDdo 1.4 Theme) in e17 Xubuntu 7.10 (e17 "Black Theme G", with Gentoo Logo)

I use e17 CVS in Xubuntu 7.10 with the e17 "Black Theme G"...I also use Opera 9.50 with the "MeGuiDdo 1.4" Opera Theme.

I suggest you upgrade your system to the e17 CVS, and upgrade Opera to Opera 9.50.

Hey, if I couldn't have my opera, I wouldn't use ubuntu. I have just made a full install of 7.10. Downloaded opera from add/remove. Found guidance to add flash and java. Put a ubuntu OS skin on it. Best opera yet. I am loving this experience. I had some probs with things but overall a little web searching garnered the answers. Did not need the terminal very much. This is great. This post written in opera 9.24 and spell checked with aspell. Lovein' it.

You really should try Opera 9.50
