<![CDATA[Opera doesn't use all of the screen]]>Opera uses about 75% of the screen, centered, but acts as if it's using the whole screen. The maximize button doesn't increase screen usage; Stuff on the non-displaying part of the screen is supposed to be visible.

I use Opera because a new insurer's website doesn't work in Firefox, so I use Opera only for that.

The latest Opera makes no difference. Using no window manager at all makes no difference.

a) start opera with the --start-maximized parameter
b) try another, more common, window manager, e,g, openbox, because fvwm95 is so rare I have never heard of it before
c) update opera, because it is now on v64.x

I was hoping for a full screen screenshot, one that would show your entire desktop and opera's window on it.

Going 'full screen' doesn't increase the amount of the screen Opera uses, just gets rid of the other stuff.

Mind you, if you want a website to use all the screen (no tab bar, no address bar, etc.) you should be trying full-screen mode (F11 if your keyboard has such a key, or on the menu).
