There are some minor changes done to the settings available in Opera 9. Some of them were done to clean up some things that were difficult to use, and some of them were done to make it easier to to implement the site-specific preferences, the string based API for settings and opera:config.

Colour settings

In previous versions, colour settings were stored in a preference section with separate keys for red, green and blue (expressed as decimal). They are now insted stored in a common section called [Colors], as regular HTML/CSS colour codes:

[Colors]
Color.Normal=#abcdef

Font settings

Earlier, each font setting was stored in a section with separate keys for each parameter. They are now stored in a common section called [Fonts] as a comma-separated list. The values in the list are height,weight,italic,underline,overline,strikeout,facename, where the values for each parameter is as before:

[Fonts]
Normal=12,4,0,0,0,0,Arial

Display of images

The two true/false toggles Load Figures and Show Figures that controlled the three-state image setting has been consolidated into one setting:

[User Prefs]
; 1=no images, 2=show cached images, 3=show all images
Show Images=1

Caching settings

Previous versions split the cache expiration settings into hours, days and minutes. These settings are now controlled by a single setting, which contains the value in seconds:

[Disk Cache]
; Default is 5 hours
Docs Expiration=18000
Figs Expiration=18000
Other Expiration=18000
