Aaand this looks strangely like a bug:

Or, as an engineer would say, working as intended. :P

Modules, like Drupal. It only makes sense.

I say call them stylings!  :whistle:

It announces their extra capabilities.

A problem for SMF is that it actually has quite a few hooks, but people don't really use them as much as they should, from what I can see.

Can't have everything in the world. The guys at Opera work hard to make life easier though, so I suspect any problem anyone might have will be fixed in a year or two.  :lol:

But Firefox' plugins can be awesome indeed.

Tons of tabs don't really work well at all in any browser, but it might be worse in Opera than the others. Can't say I ever tried having more than 10 tabs. I get this tick and I ragequit them all, if I get too many (as in they fill more than my screen.)

A possibility to alter the background tabs to be suspended on HDD could be interesting...

:hmm:

Well I won't complain that you consider and reconsider all aspects of the software. History has shown to me that software that has been -moderately- deliberated and delayed has consistently been better.

I must also comment that I as a Norwegian love that you use Opera, haha.

Oh I'm not interested in trying to sway your vocabulary, I'm just saying that terms frequently change and it's not fun to modify your vocabulary every other site you frequent.

I know for MyBB they call the templates "templates" and skins are called "themes". My preference is to call the finished layout "theme", the color set/css "skin" and the content-driving part "template" but I'm sure if you put two webdevelopers in one room they will give you three different opinions. ;)

All in all though, what you call them is extremely unimportant.

Then I will be making themes, probably, unless the codebase is super-Zen-like for customization.

Themes or stylings? :P
I've all but given up on learning new words like this for new softwares. Themes, skins, templates, stylings. Call them what you will, my word for something that modifies the look and layout for a piece of software is "theme".

If I have to divide it further down "template" is what I call the content part of the process, and "skin" is what i call the design/css part of the process.

All of this is, of course, just words...

Awesome.

Anyway, it's nice to hear that you're back on track. I'll hopefully write a couple of themes for Wedge once it's out, even if I don't end up using it, hehe. Can't wait to see how that works.

I'm looking forward to seeing how well the import function works, too.

In actuality I have a 100/10mbps line

Oh right. And save the environment, save resources and all of that. Of course.

Dang.

I really want to see this.

And Arial, bold? That's the first time I saw it described as that. Not that I'm bashing it. It is based off of a pretty famous typeface.
