今天我们要看一下Opera的帮助菜单。听起来像干土司一样乏味?对于别的浏览器也许是,但是Opera不一样。这个地方可查看安装信息(“Opera安装在哪里?”或者“当前使用的版本号?”,还可以找到其他有用的信息),帮助文件,支持网站,并可以检查Opera更新,以及一个简单的错误报告功能。

考虑到很多人可能今天第一次使用Opera(自从Opera免费以来),所以我想让你在需要的时候可以知道如何获取帮助。你可能倾向于忽略帮助菜单,但是最好不要!那里还是有很多好东西的。

Opera帮助(Windows中F1,Mac中CMD+?)
带你访问http://help.opera.com/help。是的,Opera的帮助文件在在线的。好处是它们可以需要的时候随时更新使每个人都能获取正确的信息。翻译也可以通过自动版本的语言检测来添加,就是说你可以得到你需要的帮助文件-而且只是你需要的。当然任何事情都有两面性。下载它们就变得比较痛苦(当然假设你需要帮助的时候是在线状态的)。优点就是一旦你获取了帮助文件,这些信息是非常有用的。
社区
带你访问my.opera.com,我们会在第三十天:我的Opera中讨论。这里只是提一下这是一个官方的社区,它支持论坛,日志,和其他一些站点。
支持
带你访问www.opera.com/support,你可以在那里找到文档教程Opera知识库,甚至可以汇报Opera bug。如果你是Opera新手,那么就应该去看看!
检测新版本
确保你使用的是最新的版本。注意这支持最终版本使用,而不是测试版。需要的话你可以访问Opera Beta Forum获取信息。
报告站点问题

Windows:
[ Report a problem, Windows version ]

Mac OS X:
[Report a problem, Mac version]

一个新功能就是快速的报告Opera不能正确支持的网站。最好能够简单的解释你遇到的问题,比如“页面左侧的菜单不能正确展开”或者“不能点击顶部导航栏”

同样重要的是确保正确的对问题分类:1)小问题,2)大问题,或3)网站不能显示。

关于Opera
一些关于Opera安装的很有用的信息。同样可以通过在地址栏输入opera:about访问。如果你需要知道版本号,或者Opera安装在哪里,或者你的配置文件的路径,这里就可以找到。

注意:MacOpera把“关于Opera”菜单项放在了Mac OS X标准“Opera”菜单项的下面(左上方,而不是在右上方的帮助菜单里)。

这就是帮助菜单。不要忘记Opera内置的帮助搜索功能(参考第廿天:search.ini)。

提醒:注册用户可以获取email支持。登陆https://support.opera.com/bin/customer/

Opera的配置是十分强大的。它可以让你自由的把工具栏放在需要的地方(在需要的时候)从来使Opera更加容易使用(来自Opera爱好者Richard Grevers

今天的主题是解剖学-但是Opera的解剖学不同于人类解剖学,因为膝盖骨不是必须和大腿骨连接的-需要的话,你可以把它连到颈骨上。但是我们还是有一些原则要遵循的,下面的内容就是帮你了解一些基本的名词。

空间比较

Window全新安装下用户界面的高度:
Opera 7.23 207px
MSIE 6 185px
Opera 8 (with ads) 143px
Mozilla Firefox 143px
Opera 8.0 (Registered) 113px

过去几年,Opera在用户界面上放了很多东西。这种现象一直延续到版本7才有所改变。通过7.5和8的版本,开发者花了很大的努力来简化默认的界面,大量的工具栏在默认情况下是关闭的。这样的结果就是Opera界面在初始启动时比7.23的版本节省了60像素的高度。

标题栏

一直启用。默认位置:最上面

标题栏是界面上最缺乏配置性的一块。它遵循Opera运行的操作系统的用户界面传统,主要包括当前页面的标题,浏览器的名称,和一些标准的视窗控制。它是不可以被禁用的。

译者:浏览器名称是可以在Opera6.ini中自定义的,在[User Prefs]下添加Title=YourName就可以覆盖默认的浏览器名称了)

需要在Windows Opera 8中禁用菜单栏?工具-〉选项-〉高级-〉快捷键:搜索F11编辑F11的条目:删除“Linux平台”。Mac用户需要重新定义别的按键以免冲突。

默认位置:顶部(紧接着标题栏的下面)。

无疑的,菜单栏包含有菜单,类似于大多数的应用程序。它可能只含有菜单。Opera 8中菜单有一些基本的变化,起动时现在只有6个主菜单。导航和窗口菜单被移除了。然而,如果你在选项中不选中“标签上显示关闭按钮”,窗口菜单加上对最大化页面的窗口控制(最小化,重置,关闭)是可以被启用的。

对于我个人来讲,我不喜欢这种简化的菜单。这个菜单栏上是不可以放置别的东西的,因此节省的空间也是浪费的,我也相信一个程序的几乎所有功能应该是可以通过菜单系统实现的。如果你也这么认为的话,你可以下载其他的菜单设置。另外,Opera职员Rijk  van Geijtenbeek也有一个很好的配置

Main Bar

默认:关闭(现在Opera是免费的,所以下面的内容可以忽略

在Opera 8中想看到Main Bar的唯一办法是在安装中选择条幅式广告。如果你选择Google的文字广告或者注册了Opera,它就是关闭的。这个特性是Opera 7.5中引进的,但是那个时候Main bar还是含有导航按钮的,因此招到很多非议。我的看法是开发者如果钟情于google的文字广告以至于忘记了有人人更喜欢条幅式的。

Main bar上的默认内容有:

打开
用来打开电脑中的html文件。
保存
保存当前页面到电脑。注意现在保存对话框可以下拉选择保存单独的html文件,html加图片,或者仅保存页面的文字。
打印,查找,首页
不需要额外的解释了!
侧边拦
控制侧边拦(包括侧边拦的选择)的打开和关闭。
铺张,层叠
相应的铺张和层叠所有未最小化的窗口。(我还没看出铺张两个以上窗口的意义,但是铺张两个页面用来比较还是很有用的,这是那些“仅标签式”的浏览器做不到的。)
语音(只对Windows)
如果你没有安装语音,会弹出提示下载语音插件。如果你已经安装了,点击后Opera会开始听取。你最好查看一下关于语音的帮助文档!

地址栏

默认:打开, RG 倾向:关闭

Default Address Bar

地址栏是Opera 8的中枢神经。它包含了导航按钮和所有重要的地址相关内容。先让我们看一下按钮:

快退
使用别的浏览器的用户可能对这个按钮不熟悉。比如你在X网站浏览一些链接,然后在同一标签移到了Y网站,过了一段时间你又到了Z网站浏览一些页面。然后你想回来。只要点击一下“快退”按钮你就可以回到你在Y网站浏览的最后一个页面,再点依次你就可以回到Y网站的第一个浏览页面。再点击两次就回到最开始的页面了。这样的话比从历史里面查找更加方便了,特别是如果你喜欢用一个标签浏览大量的网站。
后退
你也许会注意到Opera的后退功能:简直是超快。Opera使用缓存而不是从服务器重新获取页面。因而这项功能Opera比IE和Firefox更快(虽然现在听说Firefox将要引进这个功能)。
前进
只要你后退了,就就还可以在前进。
快进
只要是正确标记的页面,Opera就能猜出下一个页面。如果启用的话,这个标签就可以带你到系列的下个页面。(译者:用来看小说是很方便的,不需要使用鼠标,直接空格键就一路下去了)
停止/刷新
停止页面载入或者刷新页面。
Wand
控制Opera奇幻的wand。

状态栏

默认:关闭, RG 倾向:打开

你也许会认为状态栏是一个浏览器基本必须的东西,但是对Opera来说,比Firefox更小的界面显得更重要,因此状态栏默认是关闭的。但是你可以启用它。如果你启用它,默认的内容只有状态栏,但是还有很多应手的小玩意可以拖放进去,因为它可以接受任何东西-按钮,Field,和快捷键。

导航栏

默认:关闭, RG 倾向:需要的时候显示

Opera通过导航栏执行很有用的<link>元素,这是很多浏览器多年以来不支持的功能。连接允许网页作者建立页面之间的相互关系,比方说循环的前一页和后一页,下一层,到版权的连接和术语页面等。既然不是所有页面使用这些元素,设置成“需要时显示”是很合理的。我自定义了我的导航栏,其中包括连接到页面的第一个 stylesheet,虽然意味着使对大部分网站其他栏不处于激活但是这一栏会一直显示。一个bug是这一栏似乎不遵从shift点击或者“重用存在页面”设置-stylesheet总是替换它的上一层页面。

查看栏

The view bar

查看栏是Opera 8新引入的。虽然你可能把它设置成一直显示,但它被设计成了需要时通过查看按钮(一副眼镜)显示或者关闭-在地址栏的最右边。

查看栏包括两组控制-左边是页内查找栏和查找下一项按钮,右面是一组控制显示的按钮:

  • 语音。(Opera好像不希望你打开Main bar,呵呵)
  • 风格。切换作者/用户模式,并有下拉菜单选择页面风格。
  • 显示图像。著名的三向图像模式切换。
  • 适合窗口宽度i。这是Opera 的俏皮的页面绘制模式
  • 缩放控制。选择需要的比例,从缩小到放大。

现在,收尾

这就是解剖学和生理学,下一堂我们将介绍外科手术101-告诉你如何选择重组用户界面项来订制你的完美浏览器。

折腾了半天,终于成功地把Opera里面的数千封email成功地导入了Seamonkey。办法如下:

  1. 下载MBS2MBX。如果是Opera 7的话,下载V1.2就可以了;7.5以上的可以下载1.6版本
  2. 解压,因为是Python程序,需要安装Phython2.3以上运行;
  3. 运行后界面如下,选择你的Opera Email的文件夹,然后选择导出的文件夹,如果多账号且需要分开的话选择account.ini文件,然后运行”Start Mbox-conversion”,会有进度显示到完成;
  4. 完成转换后,启动Seamonkey/Email,工具-〉导入-〉选择Eudora,然后选择保存的文件夹位置,就可以转换了。一切顺利的话,你的Opera中的邮件就可以成功地导入Seamonkey了。我操作的大概是4000封左右的邮件,一切OK;
  5. 当然了,为了安全起见,请做好相应的备份工作。

From: http://www.diserio.com/top15-skylines.html

All my years in studying Urban Planning helped me grow a greater appreciation for the dense downtown skyline of the big city. The downtown core of big cities across the Americas, Europe and Asia are the cultural pulse and economic engines of urban regions where millions of people live. All urban “life” begins and ends, each day and night under the watch of the city’s tallest skyscrapers and most grand architectural structures. So kick back and appreciate the view that they have to offer…

1. Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is number one on my list for many reasons: Hong Kong has a whopping 43 buildings over 200 metres tall, 30 of which were built in the year 2000 or later!!! It also boasts four of the 15 tallest buildings in the world… that’s all in one city! Hong Kong’s skyline shows a large selection of distinct sky-reaching towers, with beautiful night lighting and reflection. This city exemplifies the post-modern skyscraper and skyline. Finally, the mountain backdrop makes this skyline (as you can clearly see) the greatest on the planet!
Metro/Urban Population: 6.9 million

2. Chicago, USA
Chicago is the birthplace of the modern skyscraper. When Chicago built its first steel high-rise in 1885, it was not the tallest structure in the world but the first example of a new form of engineering that would change nearly every city on earth. Chicago has 19 buildings over 200 metres tall (three of which are among the top 20 tallest buildings in the world, including the tallest in North America). Chicago has some of the finest mid-century architecture and examples of modern skyscrapers.
Metro/Urban Population: 9.5 million

3. Shanghai, China
Not to be mistaken for a space station, Shanghai is a real city! China’s biggest and most advanced city, Shanghai was said to be the most cosmopolitan city in the beginning of the 20th century, but lost its glory during the “Mao era”. It is now quickly regaining its position as one of the biggest economic powerhouses in the world as well as a showcase of modern architecture. In Shanghai you’ll find 25 structures that are over 200 metres tall, one of which is the insanely tall, the 468m downtown Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
Metro/Urban Population: 13.1 million

4. New York City, USA
New York City has one of the densest and most diverse skylines, with a huge collection of buildings and building styles. Thanks to Hollywood’s obsession with the city, it is also the most easily recognizable skyline in the world. New York City has an amazing 47 buildings over 200 metres - the most in the world! The four tallest buildings in NYC were all built in the early 1930s! Home of the famous, (now tragically destroyed) World Trade Center Towers, the Empire State building, the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations, New York City is the financial capital of the western world! Upon the completion of the new “Freedom Tower” (built on the old site of the World Trade Centers), it may rank higher in this list.
Metro/Urban Population: 21.0 million

5. Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo is the world’s most populated city. Its skyline has a number of unique characteristics that set it apart from other big city skylines, among them 15 structures at over 200 metres tall (including the Tokyo Tower which changes colors every night). But because of the density and vast size of the city, every corner appears to have its own skyline. With the height restrictions and the required red lights that flash atop all mid to tall-sized buildings make the city look spectacular at night. Tokyo is filled with neon lighting and unique, contemporary architecture, and like New York City is also often portrayed in movies for its aesthetic and eye-catching cityscapes. Interesting fact: Tokyo houses the world’s largest fleet of helicopters to get around town if traffic gets too crazy.
Metro/Urban Population: 32.0 million

6. Singapore
One of the best (urban) planned and cleanliest metropolitan cities in the world, Singapore looks like an architectural model city come to life. The buildings cannot be higher than 280 metres due to air traffic control restrictions, but that has added a tall (but not too tall) and consistent building height and space pattern that makes this skyline unique: Three buildings are exactly 280 metres tall and 5 others (8 total) stand at just over 200 metres. The buildings are mostly light-coloured and there is a large expanse of greenery dotted around the city core. This South-Eastern city is definitely in a league of its own.
Metro/Urban Population: 3.8 million

7. Toronto, Canada
Toronto is a meeting place, a crossroads of many cultures and ethnicities. Toronto is downtown Canada, the biggest city in the country with a skyline to match. Toronto has 7 structures in its skyline that stand at over 200 metres, including the astonishingly tall 553 metre, CN Tower, which is often referred to as the tallest free-standing structure in the world. While mostly untrue (because there are taller TV masts in the world), the CN Tower possess the world’s highest observation deck, making this city’s skyline one of the most immediately identifiable.
Metro/Urban Population: 5.1 million

8. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This is probably the most impressive city worldwide that has less than 2 million residents. Marvelous modern buildings reach the sky here, and while the skyline is not too dense, it does allow buildings to soar and stand out. Kuala Lumpar has three of the 25 tallest buildings worldwide, including the tallest twin buildings, the Petronas Towers (which are arguably the second and third tallest overall in the world) as well as the 420 metre Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower.
Metro/Urban Population: 1.5 million

9. Shenzhen, China
What was a tiny fishing village on the border of Hong Kong in 1970 is now a buzzing metropolis of over four million people. With 13 buildings at over 200 meters tall, including the Shun Hing Square (the 8th tallest building in the world), Shenzen is a marvel of lights after sunset. You can’t help but ask yourself if you are in a video game or in a real city.
Metro/Urban Population: 4.2 million

10. Seoul, South Korea
This city’s skyscrapers are divided into many clusters, spread amongst the main businesses and residential districts. Most of the recent growth in Seoul’s skyline, however, has been of residential towers over 60 storeys high that are shooting up like blades of grass! There are 10 buildings in Seoul over 200 meters tall and much of the mid-rise to high-rise structures are lined up in a linear fashion, creating a “wall” of buildings like no other. Seoul is where the ancient Eastern world meets the modern West.
Metro/Urban Population: 20.8 million

11. Sao Paolo, Brazil
“What building did you say they lived in?” Finding it in the largest mass of condensed apartment buildings anywhere would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Sao Paolo has a population of over 18 million people! While the buildings are not super tall (with only a single structure at over 200 meters tall) this skyline is nevertheless stacked. Sao Paolo has a fleet of over 500 helicopters, the second largest helicopter fleet in the world.
Metro/Urban Population: 18.3 million

12. Sydney, Australia
Australia’s showcase city, Sydney has one of the most recognizable skylines due to its world-famous harbour, often referred to as the most beautiful natural harbour in the world. The Sydney Harbour has many bays, inlets and secondary harbours. It is spanned by the monumental Harbour Bridge, and the Opera House decorates the shoreline like a white flower. The Sydney skyline is world-class with hundreds of skyscrapers in the central business district and many more high-rise buildings in the outlying neighbourhoods. Sydney has 8 buildings over 200 metres tall.
Metro/Urban Population: 4.2 million

13. Frankfurt, Germany
Certainly one of Europe’s most interesting cities in terms of skylines, Frankfurt is home to five structures that are over 200 metres tall. These modern skyscrapers are marvels compared to those other, mostly non-existent ones scattered across European cities. The contrast here is interesting: The city combines low-rise, high-density traditional European architecture (some of which is over 1,000 years old), with modern towers that stick out like sore thumbs, but are impressive nonetheless.
Metro/Urban Population: 4.1 million

14. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Is this a mirage in the Middle East? Seemingly out of nowhere emerges a city in the middle of a desert. This is Dubai, a city that produces only the best modern architecture in the world. Already home of the world’s tallest all-hotel building and the tallest all-residential building in the world, AND currently proposed to build the world’s tallest building, this skyline might just leap to the number 1 spot in the near future. While the skyline is not so dense, each building is a marvel all on its own. As a skyline it probably can’t compete with the larger cities, however the individual buildings in this city are by far the greatest examples of modern architectural accomplishments. All seven structures in this city at over 200 metres tall were built in 1999 or later - that’s how new this city is.
Metro/Urban Population: 1.6 million

15. Seattle, USA
Seattle is the commercial, cultural and advanced technology hub of the Northwest USA and a major port city for Pacific and European trade. Home 4 buildings over 200m and the famous 184m Space Needle observation tower, Seattle is surrounded by mountains and water and offers some picture-perfect views. Seattle is commonly referred to as the Emerald City and renowned as a great social and corporate city with great planning.
Metro/Urban Population: 3.6 million

Honorable Mentions

16. Pittsburgh, USA
Although Pittsburgh only has two buildings over 200m tall, its skyline is very impressive nonetheless. Pittsburgh has nicknames like the “city of bridges”, “the Burgh” or the “golden triangle” which outlines its true characteristics. It is surround by three rivers and the CBD is shaped in a triangle and surrounded by golden color bridges. The city is also surrounded by hills and valley’s giving access to great views of the city. The city has not had a major skyscraper raised since 1988, but good planning and a scenic surrounding region still makes it a great skyline.
Metro/Urban Population: 2.4 million

17. Guangzhou, China
Guangzhou is a very modern city, yet it is called “the City of Flowers,” as each of its spectacular skyscrapers is surrounded by grand green spaces and flower beds. Although it only has six structures at over 200 metres tall, there are plenty of other high-rises, each displaying a design that stands out in its own respect. This includes the 391 metre, 80-floor, CITIC Plaza which appears transparent against the (usually) clear blue sky!
Metro/Urban Population: 4.1 million

18. Dallas, USA
The “Big D”, is a major inland American city. The city and metropolitan area lies amidst vast, high, and varying rolling prairies - with hundreds of large & small lakes, rivers, creeks, waterways and meanders. But Dallas; downtown is the center of the Forth-Worth-Dallas Metro Region which is home to 5.9 million people. Dallas’ skyline is home to 7 buildings over 200 meters and the 187m Reunion Tower which looks like huge sphere of light! The skyline is very distinctive at night as it building lighting is very colorful, particularly with lots of green.

Metro/Urban Population: 5.2 million

总是在不停的自我贬抑和自我改进中存活,然而效果并不明显,因为未尝觉自己的进步。想如果某一天,我失去了自省奋进的动力,却活在贬抑中,岂不是莫大的痛苦,虽不觉得现在是快乐。还是那句话,人,还是要有理想的;当你理想渐渐幻灭的时候,才是真实的人生。
