Re: Is it possible to modify Opera settings files?
 

I screwed up! I installed the new update without backing up my files. I have finally got xterm and vim installed in order to edit the minimum font size in the opera.ini file.
I know NOTHING about using vim. I can load the file in vim, but whenever I try to change the font size, nothing happens. I don't know how to change the number that's there (7) to the number I want it to be (16). I have tried following the directions in this thread, but unfortunately, they assume I know how to use the editor (either vi or vim).
Can someone please help? I really need to change that minimum font size.
I also tried copying the ini file to a txt file per the instructions in a post above; however, my directories must not be set up the same way or something because the editor tells me it can't find that file or directory.
I will appreciate ANY help I can get.
Under the earlier version of the operating system, whatever programs I was using for xterm and a text editor were much, much easier to use.

I keep the following text note in my documents folder so at least the directions get backed up. :)


you need to download and install Ossa-Xterm and Become root.

BTW, has the Opera ini file changed with the new firmware?
I just realized I copied over the new one with the old, modified one. Everything works but the're some changes... like no more "optimized" view option. I am wondering if I missed something. :eek:

YoDude,

Thanks for the quick reply. I have xterm installed and I THINK I became root. However, when I put in the cp command, I get an "unable to open" and it says the ./MyDocs.documents/operaini.txt doesn't exist (no such file or directory.
What am i doing wrong.
Again, I really appreciate your help. I'm really struggling!

If you became root the comman line, pre-cursor in Xterm will change from "~ $ " to "/home/user # "

Is there a copy of "operaini.txt" in your documents folder?

FYI I tried with privoxy and indeed it changes the user agent, but someway google detects opera and refuses to co-operate. I also got the fix-google-services.js javascript from http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/200...-friendly.html and referenced it in /home/user/.opera/opera.ini in the line User JavaScript File=
and setting User JavaScript=1 , but... no joy :-(
