Hi Ji@nBing,

Are you asking me about how to put the icons next to the tabs?.

If so you need to drag the closed windows button which looks like

a recycle bin down onto the tab bar and then drag any icons you

to the right of it. If you dont drag them to the right of it they will

go all the way to the left side of the tabs.

cheers

heres mine. as u can see i like as much space for the website as possible. i have a button that brings up the main menu. i do almost everything through mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts. i customised the right click menu with the things i use the most (read feeds, check mail, open closed pages...). i have the clock widget. the skin is meguido.

unless my eyes decieve me, that is ie7 and not opera :pinch:

It is:

- Look at the search field.

- why is the New Tab button missing? (the small tab at the end of all tabs)

- notice how the RSS icon is inside the address bar - IE7 doesn't do that, does it?

- status bar doesn't have 'Internet' or whatever at the end

- there's a trash can

Convinced? :whistle:

How did you get Opera to look exactly like IE7? That's pretty cool.

Alright, here's the steps for getting my setup:

1) Get the skin here. Open the .7z file, and copy the .zip to your skins folder.

2) OPTIONAL: open the skin.ini file in the skin .zip, and add these lines if you want longer tabs:

[Options]
Pagebar max button width	= 225
Pagebar min button width	= 225

3) Grab my toolbar setup below. See the attachment. Note that I took away the RSS icon that stood beside the print toolbar, only because it did virtually nothing.

4) Apply the skin.

5) Hide your menu bar. If you cannot do this, go into Preferences, the Advanced tab, and the Shortcuts category. Edit your current keyboard setup. Select the 'Application' tree, and click New. On the left side, type in: "Platform Windows, F11 alt" and on the right side: "Enable menu bar | Disable menu bar" (in both cases, type without quotes). Click OK, and OK again. Now you can use ALT+F11 to hide/enable the menu bar.

6) If you want to make this setup a bit more like IE, you can go ahead and change the title of Opera to "Windows Internet Explorer" and use the IE7 icon. To do that:

- Exit Opera, and go into your profile folder. Open up opera6.ini

- under [user Prefs] stick in these lines:

Title=Windows Internet Explorer
Application icon=<<PATH TO ICON>>\ie7.ico

- Grab the IE7 icon file below, and place it anywhere (preferably your profile folder). Just change <<PATH TO ICON>> to the name of its folder.

Now you can optionally change the O icon on your quicklaunch/desktop/Start Menu to the E just to fool almost anyone using your computer. :yes:

(side note: I was inspired to take on this layout after seeing this.)

Nice. Will you have a toolbar .ini and modified skin .zip made available somewhere?

edit: I see you posted it in the other thread, but the toolbar.ini ZIP is corrupt. :(

Edited by rm20010

Hi rm20010,

The toolbar.ini in the Three Things forum you need to click on

it and then it will come up asking you to save it.

And in the Opera forum where i posted it also

i could save and open it no problems there either.

Anyway I will post it here if i can again

standard_toolbar__1_.zip

P.S. I noticed when you try to save it ...its stops for some reason but if

you go into the transfer and restart it ....it then seems to save okay.

See how you go anyway.

cheers

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
