Hi ravix7,

For me I love the look of IE7, but the functionality of Opera.

If they changed the look of Opera then I might use it but until

then I am happy with mine looking like IE7.

But each to their own and i can appreciate anyone else

who chooses to make their opera as they wish.

cheers

How did you get the progress bar to be permanently on?

hit shift + f12, go toolbars, set progress bar to display at the bottom. Then click a link and hit sift+f12 while the progress bar is vissible at the bottom. Then drag and drop each item to the status bar (the bar below it). When you have all items on the status bar, you should hvae 2 progress bars so just turn off the original one.

looks pretty nice

Hi PureBY,

Thanks for your comment....... :D.

For me I love the look of IE 7 but the functionality of Opera 9.

The original design of the skin was done by inzavi who called it likeIE.

When I downloaded the skin I realised even though a nice looking

skin it really looked nothing like Windows Internet Explorer 7.

So I set about to change it to make it look identical to IE 7 for

my own benefit ...so I do not claim to have made this skin

but have modified it a lot to suit my style.

As for getting the Tabs below the address bar you need to drag

all the buttons and address bar and search box also to the Main bar.

Then rearrange them as suits you and then turn off the address bar.

I also added custom toolbar items and restyled the panels to resemble IE 7.

If you want the skin and toolbar.ini to go with it i can email it to you.

Here is how it looks at the moment.

I like mine all customized, I have my menus in the bottom to block popups, with my identify, in the left I have my plug-ins so some pages can be disabled fast enough, then there are my cookies for those sites that like to track :)

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.)

Thanks man, it's so great :yes: . Very thanks :laugh:

How to remove site name at Panel bar:

Seems like mine is the most boring.

I don't really use tabs in Opera, I use the mouse gesture,

Jump from one window to the next

Hold right mouse button and roll wheel

Can't wait until Opera 9 Final comes out. :yes: :D :) :cool:

    • The better these AI models get, the more this is going to happen. It's gonna turn into government versus government in regards to using proprietary and unavailable security research models to basically find flaws and vulnerabilities in other governments or companies systems. It's basically turning into a cybersecurity arms race. This is actually a good thing. The better AI gets, the more restricted and expensive it's going to become, making it far less mainstream. This is good 👍
    • Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm
