Opera Settles $12.75m Lawsuit, But with Whom?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wouldn't-you-like-to-know dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a press release from Opera Software ASA, they have settled legal claims with an international corporation resulting in payment to Opera of net USD 12.75 million. The interesting bit is that the international corporation is unknown. Dagbladet speculates that Microsoft is paying up. They reason it has something to do with this."

    I currently use Mozilla at home & IE at work.

    What would really help me out would be an option to invert the colors on the screen when some web designer makes one of those black background w/ white or yellow text sites (Yes, I know I can select the text, but that's a pain). What about just making things easy to read, you website designers? The opera site, Arstechnica, and probably three-quarters of gaming sites out there are built in this color scheme, and it sucks.

    Now, on my nice home monitor, I can read without too much trouble. But my employer buys monitors from Sams for our CAD work, so the white letters on black just tend to get swallowed up. So think about us people with sucky monitors when you're putting together information on the web. Pretty is great, but not at the expense of being difficult to read.
