Modifying the Opera toolbar...

[Quillz]

I've just installed Opera 9.6 and I really like it, but I don't like how Opera has its toolbars setup. Here's what mine presently looks like...

I want the tab toolbar (presently in the middle) to be at the very top, and I want the bookmarks toolbar (presently at the top) to be on the bottom, below the navigation toolbar. For some reason, I haven't found an easy way to do this w/o having to move things between all sorts of different panels and toolbars. Isn't there some method of simple drag and drop?

There should be. I just installed it yesterday and have not tried to customize it yet. On prior versions I was able to.

If you find a way to resize the search bar, please tell me.

You are right, it does not seem to be possible.

nope, the relative positions of the various toolbars are fixed, so it's always Main Bar > Personal Bar > Tab Bar > Address Bar > Navigation Bar, you can only move the items between the various toolbars.

Yeah, activate the main bar, and remove all item from it, and move items from the nav bar onto it (or from the collection of items, I for example use the back button with a drop down instead of the normal back). and hide the nav bar.

then you can also download custom button to hide the menu bar, and to give you a drop down version of the menu bar instead.

If you find a way to resize the search bar, please tell me.

you can use the regular adess bar as a seach bar in the same way as in Chrome though. "g search string" will use google to search for search string. y for yahoo, w for wikipedia, and you can add any missing search provider or search field on sites by right clikgin the search field on the site, and selecting the letter in the box that pops up.

Hi,

At the moment the search bar cannot be resized in Opera.

I use the address bar as a all in one bar to search the history,

bookmarks, webpages and search engines.

As far as the toolbars its as wellofsouls mentioned about them

being in a fixed postion and only being able drop and drag stuff

between them.

cheers

You could always activate the VIEW Bar and put your bookmarks on that, but it won't sync with Opera Link at all that way.
