      As a long-time user of Opera i would like to address my concern
      related to the fact that it is impossible to switch-off ClearType in
      Opera, despite having it disabled in my system. It is literally
      killing my eyes and is a reason enough i stop using Opera altogether.

      Also, i would like to ask you to replace the "heart" button
      (bookmarks) with the small rubbish bin of recently closed tabs which
      was much more useful. We do more often close tabs erroneously than
      select new bookmarks. Actually, there could be place for both.
      Hope these changes and issues will be addressed.

      Is there any way i disable ClearType manually?

      Thank you very much.

        Go to opera://flags/#disable-direct-write and either Disable or Enable, I forget which, I think it is the latter. Then restart the browser.

          Yes, Disable DirecttWrite may work.

          And opera://flags/#lcd-text-aa to change display text on TFTs.

                    I'm not sure if you can disable it in a specific application, maybe you will have to disable it on Windows.
