Question

the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 graphic adapter on my old XP system is fairly old and seems not on list of supported Chrome HW; however, I managed to enable 3d transforms on Chrome, using this:

  1. in address bar, go to chrome://flags/
  2. Override software rendering list -> enable

Now I'm looking for a similar trick to enable 3d css on Opera 12.16.

Testing is done with this page: http://jsfiddle.net/amustill/Qh8YV/ which displays a simple 3d rotated div. This test succeeds on FF, Safari, Chrome, but fails on Opera.

Similar result with this simple test:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">
        .outer {
            background-color: gold;
            width: 200px;
            height: 200px;
            position: relative;

            perspective: 300px;
            perspective-origin: 50% 50%;
            transform-style: preserve-3d;

            -o-perspective: 300px;
            -o-perspective-origin: 50% 50%;
            -o-transform-style: preserve-3d;

            -webkit-perspective: 300px;
            -webkit-perspective-origin: 50% 50%;
            -webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
        }
        .inner {
            text-align: center;
            background-color: red;
            width: 100px;
            height: 100px;
            position: absolute;
            top: 50px;
            left: 50px;
            font-family: Arial;
            font-weight: bold;

            transform: rotateY(45deg);
            -o-transform: rotateY(45deg);
            -webkit-transform: rotateY(45deg);
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="outer">
    <div class="inner">
        is this 3d?<br>
        is this 3d?<br>
        is this 3d?<br>
        is this 3d?<br>
        is this 3d?<br>
    </div>
</div>

</body>
</html>

The div is unrotated on Opera.

In Opera's error console I found these messages:

Questions:

  1. DOES Opera support 3d transforms?
  2. If yes: what can the problem be - the old HW?, the code?
  3. Is there a workaround?
Was it helpful?

Solution

Let me post this as an answer too, so that it's visible at a more prominent place.

Opera 12 and earlier do not support CSS 3D Transforms, they are available as of Opera 15, which is more or less a new browser based on Chromium.

So no need to worry, there is no workaround for this, it's simply not supported.
