About

What better way to keep an eye on your inbox than with an Opera extension? Now you can tell at a glance how many items are in your inbox without worrying about having a tab open to a Stack Exchange site.

License

GPL version 3

Download

You can install the extension from the link below until I submit it to Opera:
http://quickmediasolutions.com/stackalert/stackalert.oex

Platform

Any platform that runs Opera (tested with Opera 11.60).

Contact

I can be reached at admin@quickmediasolutions.com.

Code

The extension is written in JavaScript.

You can get the code here: https://github.com/nathan-osman/Stack-Alert
(look in the opera/ folder for the Opera specific code)

Clicking on Authorize Extension doesn't do anything. What should I do now? – toscho Apr 30 at 20:55
@toscho: Temporarily turn off your popup blocker (and possibly restart Opera after turning it off). After clicking Authorize, a new tab should pop up showing Stack's external authorization page. You can turn it back on after authorizing the extension. – Mihai Limbășan May 2 at 11:50
I had to click Ctrl+Shift+Click to get the popup in the background. Works now. :) – toscho May 2 at 15:45

When I click on the extension install link, I get a download prompt for a .ZIP file: enter image description here

I have to rename this file to .OEX and open that file with Opera to have it install the extension.

This is definitely a misconfiguration with my web server. I'll let you know when I have it fixed. – George Edison♦ May 1 at 17:47
This has been fixed now. Please let me know if you have any further issues installing this extension. – George Edison♦ May 1 at 19:59
@GeorgeEdison Seems to be working fine now. Thanks for that. Also, please submit Stack Alert to the Opera Add-ons site. – galacticninja May 2 at 3:39
