I too am having difficulty with the background transparency issue! Any thoughts on a remedy?
Also experiencing the user\author mode self switching.

I don't know if this is the place for questions, but every time I open a widget, the "background" is transparent. Why!!

I enjoy the Opera and the widgets. However, after some tinkering with settings, I have difficulty seeing the widgets' backgrounds. I couldn't find any clear path leading to the solution of my problem. Also, the Opera seems to be switching unpredictably from the "User mode" to the "Author mode" despite of my numerous attempts to record and save the settings.

The opera team should really consider a keyboard shortcut that opens a widgets panel similar to dashboard in os x.

A very simple tutorial, but it does what it says it does great. I concur that this should be included with Opera

one thing, anyone else get the problem of the "next" button being a bit unresponsive the first time clicking on it?

GarySaville: AFAIK there's no such shortcut in Opera, but you can achieve something similar by using the shortcuts of your operating system.

For windows XP: Keep keep your widgets either "always below" or "always on top", and then use [windows button]+D to hide open windows and view the desktop. Widgets, both those which are "always on top" and those which are "always below", will be visible on the desktop.

I think the same can be done on a Mac using the F11 key. Don't know about *nix.

Is there a way to open all widgets with a keyboard shortcut?
I know alt-g will open the widgets menu, but then they all have to be selected individually.

Best,

Gary.
