# Page Style

## Defaults

Set the default zoom level to 200% to make all Web pages appear in double size.

You can set a default background color for pages that do not set one explicitly.

## My link style

You can fine-tune the visual appearance of links in Web pages and decide the time before visited links are considered unvisited.

Note: You may have to enable "My links style" in Author mode or User mode to make this work.

## Presentation modes

Opera has two modes for viewing Web pages. "Author mode" lets you see a Web page as its author intended, while "User mode" lets you view the page in your own style.

Each mode contains a set of preferences that you can change. It is most common to change the settings for "User mode", but you can also change the settings for "Author mode".

Option | Explanation
--- | ---
Page style sheet | Always apply style sheets specified in Web page
Page fonts and colors | Use fonts and colors set by markup language
My style sheet | Activate the built-in style sheets, and apply your personal style sheet
My fonts and colors | Use your fonts and colors (specified in Fonts preferences)
My link style | Use your link style (specified in Fonts preferences)

Switch between the two modes by pressing `Ctrl` + `G` or pressing the mode icon on the Address bar.

Tip: You can decide which mode to use as default for new pages.

## Styling

You can choose whether to show forms and scrollbars in Web pages in classic gray style or have them skinned by Opera.

## Frames

If you disable frames, only the main (biggest) frame in Web pages will be displayed.

If you disable in-line frames, alternative text will be displayed in place of in-line frames.

To see how Web pages with frames are constructed, enable frame borders. When you view framed pages, the currently active frame will always be outlined.

Tip: Right-click a frame and select Frame for multiple choices.
