Opera

or qt (appears to rely on a few kdelibs though)

[curaga]

The Qt backend is AFAIK disabled, and yes the KDE backend requires a lot of KDE.

Code: [Select]

ldd liboperakde4.so |grep not
       
libkdecore.so.5 => not found
libkdeui.so.5 => not found
libkio.so.5 => not found

While doing something totally unrelated to this discussion, pure chance narrowed down the cause of the difference mentioned in reply#14.

Both partitions routinely load gtk2.tcz.  In the TC3.3 partition only, xfce4-notifyd.tcz is loaded, which includes includes gtk2.tcz as a dependency.  If xfce4-notifyd.tcz is not loaded, Opera is displayed in the less attractive mode described previously.   

It appears that the 'polished' look of Opera is caused by one or more of the dependencies of xfce4-notifyd.tcz minus gtk2.tcz.

Hm, gtk-engines is not in the dep tree. Perhaps one of the Xfce deps includes their own theme & engine.

[tinypoodle]

...or one of them might simply write to .gtkrc-2.0 or to an 'include' file of latter.

Comparing gtkrc-2.0 or resp. 'include' file before and after loading xfce4-notifyd.tcz as well as between the partitions would tell.

Not that I am going to pursue this with any degree of priority or urgency, however, as I had a fresh build to do of TC3.3 I was able to get a little more information.

Before any gtk2 elements had been added to the fresh build, the block like menus in Opera were present.  Adding xfce4-notifyd.tcz, and thereby gtk2 as a dependency, presented the more 'polished' appearance.  A copy of gtkrc-2.0 had not been generated at this point, or after a reboot.

try loading only shared-mime-info and hicolor-icon-theme
then execute :

Code: [Select]

sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -q -f -t /usr/local/share/icons/hicolorthis is already done when you load xfce4-notifyd, see its tce.installed script

if still no result try loading libxcb, and libxcb-util too

[tinypoodle]

You could try to use opera:config#FileSelector|DialogToolkit and set value to 2 for gtk

[tinypoodle]

SamK, you could use

Code: [Select]

opera --full-version
at any given moment to see enabled capabilities.

Good call, this produces the more 'polished' look to the menu etc.

I have been using Opera for quite a while now though recently, I have been experiencing problems with my browser. I have set the preferences to block all unwanted pop ups and for some reason, a web site I have been able to access before, I cant go to anymore.  When I click on the button, the page just refreshes and do not lead me to the main page. Any ideas on why this is happening?
