As much as i loved the new Ozone browser, Opera 9.5 remains the most powerfull browser available for ANY symbian phone, not just UIQ. In fact, truth is Opera Mobile 9.5 shares alot with its bigger desktop brother, Opera 9.6
Remembering this post at opera forums, where Karl from Opera shows how to use the content blocking filter from your desktop version of Opera in the Public UIQ Beta, i wondered about what else is there for us to use.
I was searching about how to change user agent string on Opera 9.6 desktop, and came across this blog. It turns out entering the string opera:config#ISP|Id on Opera 9.6 url field opens up a configuration page, where among other things, we can change the browser´s user agent to whatever we want.
Next step is obvious…i tried opera:config on Opera Mobile 9.5, and voila, it WORKS just the same - there´s a HUGE amount of settings to mess with. I dare not to change much at this point, and wait for input from you guys

To get the adblock working in Opera Mobile on UIQ3 you need to put urlfilter.ini file to C:/System/Data/Opera95/opera95. It also works on built in Opera 8.65. Path for Opera 8.65: C:/System/Data/Opera/opera

With this config one should be able to correct the problem that in most input fields both the background as the text color is white. When I change the Color.Form.Input and the Color.Form.Text to #000000 it doesn’t really save it (yes I pressed the save button) even not after a restart. Anybody fixed this?

Those color settings in opera:config didn’t help at all. I fixed this by editing theme colors.
I unzipped the utz (theme) file and opened Theme.xml with a text editor.
Under , in the subnode <skinText id=”TextClear”, set style to “Normal” and change textColor to a darker color, e.g. #000000.
I also had white colored text on a light colored progress bar, I fixed that also by setting darker textColors for id=”TextClear” and id=”TextOverlapped” under .
Buttons had also white text before, I changed that under and id=”TextClear”.
As far as I know, the problem with Opera is that the text rendering engine doesn’t take other text styles than style=”Normal” into consideration and renders other styles normally, using only “textColor” for widget texts.

That blog engine stripped the XML tags from my post, so, moderators, you can delete my last post
