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...

post-119000-1223498194_thumb.png

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.

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

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
