I didn't know that Opera supports themes...
And, by the way, I just went to the Opera Home Page and was unable to
find a single theme there.

Personally, I find that RealPlayer 8 works with everything that I've tried.

Click the "X" Button in the upper right corner.
Or follow my suggestion from another posting.

0.9.9 is not behind schedule. The Roadmap only talks about an "ideal

And in any case it needs not affect the 1.0 release.

I don't see a contradiction here.

If Mozilla is a beta product, why is Netscape not? It's mostly the same
