I like to have selective tabbed browsing. In that I mean that I like to hold shift and click the link in order for it to open in a new tab. Whats annoying is that when I disable tabbed browsing in order to have selective tabbed browsing, I cannot select the "disable close button on tabs" option. It gets annoying because when I do opt to open a link in a tab, that damn X button is there on every tab. Is there a way to remove the X in the tab and still have tabbed browsing disabled?

also, i like firefox's search engine feature similar to the Opera one. Is there a way I can add search engines to it, and remove the other engines that are implemented in Opera's version?

Edited by bayrider

In opera v9

Right click in the text area of the search engine and click on the Create Search Option. Enter a keyword for this search engine. And you are done.

You can delete engines from Preferences --> Search.

In older versions : http://opera-info.xorg.pl/en

Yes, you can remove "X" close button by editing Opera's standart skin.

1. Close Opera

2. Go to directory \Opera\skin\

Find standard_skin.zip and unpack it

3.Edit file skin.ini :

Comment sections:

[Pagebar Close Button Skin] and all sections [Pagebar Close Button Skin ****]

4. Save skin.ini and pack it into standard_skin.zip

Quick idea... Enable normal tabbed browsing so that the "Show Close Button on Each Tab" is selectable. Uncheck it, and then click OK. Then go back and change it back to your selective tabbed browsing. That should hold the option in there so that it will be disabled.

I cannot try this as I don't use Opera, but it sounds like it may work.

Why dont you set your middle click to open a new tab?

You can do it from Pref-->Advanced-->Shortcuts.

by middle click I assume you mean a middle mouse button? I only have a 2 button mouse (+ one on the thumb).

    • I kind of do not engage much with people whose first retort is an ad hominem. Nevertheless the data is there.
    • I don't know if this is helpful or not, but just something I have an opinion on... Gaming PC builds where you've specced up the parts you want, built the system, colour matched things, etc... They may well be a labour of love, but on the 2nd hand market - nobody cares.  People are looking for deals, not your passion project
