I read this in the following link: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-mobile-10-beta-developers-introduction/ Of particular interest is the following statement : [quote]For this beta release, we have not enabled Vega accelerated rendering yet, so features such as border-radius, box-shadow, etc. that depend on our Vega graphics backend don’t work for now. Also note that this is an early version of Presto 2.4 and not all standards features have been included in this release. We have more in the pipeline for future Opera Mobile 10 versions, so stay tuned. That being said, Presto 2.4 brings new support for a couple of interesting CSS properties to Opera Mobile 10 beta; we explore these in the sections below.[/quote] I’m not posting this on a hunch.

I'm expecting a desktop build with Presto 2.4 and Vega soon and could be as soon as this weekend.

Don't forget that Opera has been working on they Vega graphic library, I wonder when will they release it and what results will we get with it. Anyway, isn't direct 2D windows only? What about multiplatformness? wow, impressive. Don’t forget that Opera has been working on they Vega graphic library, I wonder when will they release it and what results will we get with it.
