[Q Classic]

7.20beta for windows is out. w00t.

[Japher]

I liked Don Giovanni and Le Nosse de Figaro... and we all know Wagner rocks!

[SpencerH]

The clock is ticking till Boris's post.

[Japher]

He'll bash Mozart, or at least say that his Operas weren't the best

[Zopperoni]

I see they implemented "marquee" in 7.20. Is it also possible to disable it within the program?

No he won't, he'll bash Wagner, thus showing himself up to be the musical and philosophical peasant he really is.

Q, you are slow. They released Beta6 yesterday.

Beta2 sucked, but the rest are really good.

[St Leo]

Never mind, I didn't realize they had released a properly announced beta. There have been six obscures betas already in the opera.beta newsgroup.:P

7.20b Changelog
7.20b Download

[VetLegion]

Yeah, like I am going to read the changelog. What's new?

And filters are getting frustrating. We should really put our efforts together one time and create the Apolyton filter.ini. I have created one but as a result of employing it I:

- Never could load the page to the end. It would be stuck forever with the bar in the bottom saying '54/57 images loaded...'. And ofcourse, the missing three are the ones I want to filter

- Expirienced strange crashes. I have barely managed to return Opera to its old state.

I mean I was testing it for technological purposes anyway, I would never stop supporting Apolyton by seeing same old ads all the time and not clicking them once in 4 years I am here

-GIF animation fixes
-Context menu support in Window panel
-New "Closed" menu under the "Window" menu on the main menu bar listing the 100 last closed windows
-Added find in page to "Customize toolbar" dialog box
-Added option to style forms and/or scrollbars [Page style]
-Added "Smooth scrolling" option [Windows]
-Added "Open new page next to active page" option [Windows]
-Added option to tune delay before page is updated
-Support for toolbar extender in page and personal bar. Enable "Show extender" in the page and personal bar context menus to use it.
-Added "Open background image" action
-It is now possible to drag links from the mail view and the web panels
-Regexp filter support, see The Regex Coach - interactive regular expressions
-Allow fast forward before page is completely loaded
-Fix for unreliable menu highlighting

I think those would be the main points in the changelog.

It fails to mention that entering a search term in the standalone Google searchbox now gives you a dropdown menu if you pause for a second and don't hit [enter].

[Zopperoni]

Yes, but can I disable "marquee"?

[St Leo]

Do you know of any sites that actually use blink or marquee? I've been using Opera with marquee-support for a while and I haven't seen any.

[Ned]

I tried to install 7.20b. However, I got the message that the file size was 3mb rather than the expected 12mb. The file size is actually 12mb. I downloaded the file from two different sites with the same result. Any ideas?

[VetLegion]

GIF fix is great news, I hope smilies will now animate properly.

Ned, try to download the 3 mb version, without java. I have that version, you don't need java if your prior version had it.

Yes, I do. A forum I administrate has some guys with marquee signatures.

Now, can I disable it in Opera 7.20 or not?
