Opera rendering looking blurry.

Postby Wellander » Sun 21 Dec, 2003 1:22 am

Hi,
I have just downloaded 7.50 beta of opera and installed it and I have noticed that on all pages the rendering now looks very blurry.
Other browsers are not doing this.
What is worng?
Did I do something wrong?

For starters, you are using a Beta build. Expect to find problems.

I do not use Opera, but I have a quick guess.
Font smoothing?
Sometimes the Font smoothing might create unwanted results.
Font smoothing was built into Netscape Navigator 3 if I remember correctly.

Wellander,

Could you provide us with a screengrab? Although I second what Edward
said, with it only being the first publicly available beta build of Opera 7.5.

Press the "Print Screen" key, and paste the screenshot into any suitable graphic editing program.

Edit the image to reduce the physical size to about 520 x 390 and the color depth to 256 colors,
then save the image in PNG or JPG format. In most cases, I find the format PNG format is best.

Then upload the image file to your webspace (if you have any) a put the URL of
the image file between a pair of phpBB tags, like this for a PNG file . . .

Code: Select all
[IMG]http://www.some-website.com/image-file-name.png[/IMG]


. . . or like this for a JPG file . . .

Code: Select all
[IMG]http://www.some-website.com/image-file-name.jpg[/IMG]

Doesn't your ISP give you any webspace? If not then you can always get a free account at Geocities or Angelfire. If none of that appeals to you, just email the screenshot to me, and I'll upload it for you.

It must be your system Wellander.

I have downloaded the same, and SillyDog's pages appear perfectly in Opera 7.50 Preview 1 for Windows.

I haven't noticed any bad rendering on Opera 7.50. Can you give some example urls to test it out. I've got an older Opera running here as well, so I can see the difference.
