More desktop happiness

While browsing around the Opera forums the other day, I came across a tip that makes the feel of my desktop just that little bit more complete. As you may know if you're an Opera user, Opera has its own theme engine. The upshot of this is that you can't get Opera to use your KDE theme. However, it turns out that not all of Opera uses the custom theme engine. For instance, the menus (both the menu bar and context menus) as well as the file selection dialog are all vanilla Qt controls. And guess what - you can get those parts of Opera to track your KDE theme. Just run Opera with the command opera --style default and it will follow your default theme.

All in all, I think my desktop is starting to look nice for a change. Bright and colorful, but not overdone. I think the new icon theme really helped liven things up without turning it into "Play-Skool does Linux." What do you think?

Pretty, yet still somewhat reserved and professional. Well, except for the anime wallpaper....
