    This tutorial explains how to configure Opera so that it will look like the rest of your KDE applications. To do this, we'll need to install the Opera Oxygen Project skin and change Opera's default fonts to the ones which KDE uses.

    Please note: This tutorial is written for Opera 9.5 or later. Make sure that you're using KDE's default icon theme, Oxygen, since the Opera Oxygen Project skin uses icons from Oxygen.

    Step 1: Installing the Skin

    Open Opera and navigate to the following link:

    http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/info/?id=8141

    Click "Download Skin" to install the Opera Oxygen Project skin.

    Step 2: Applying the Skin

    Go to Tools -> Appearance.

    In the "Skins" box, you will see a list of all the skins that are currently installed. Click on "opera_oxygen_project_[version]" to apply the Opera Oxygen Project skin to Opera.

    Step 3: Changing the Font

    Go to Tools -> Preferences. Click on the "Web Pages" tab.

    Opera has two default fonts - the normal font and the monospace font. You can change these default fonts by clicking on them. Change the normal font to DejaVu Sans and change the monospace font to DejaVu Sans Mono.

    That's it! Now Opera will look and feel just like your other KDE applications.
