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

      I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.

      M$ can bring whatever the hell it wants, and then guess what's not installed in my Mac.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all by Taras Buria Over the last few months, Microsoft has been very busy fixing Windows 11 with features that users have been asking the company for a long time. An upgraded Start menu, the ability to change the taskbar position, new Windows Update features, and plenty more. However, not all changes are visible on the surface. Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users. The so-called "Low Latency Profile" is a special performance mode that aims to make Windows 11 snappier and more responsive. It boosts the processor clock speed to its maximum for a brief moment when rendering user interface elements or launching apps. As such, apps launch faster, and things like the Start menu or quick settings appear on the screen faster, although some are sceptical about it. Microsoft is not sharing many details about the new profile. The official release notes do not even mention it, with Microsoft only saying that the update "accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center." Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack wherever convenient. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:58989092 and press Enter. Restart your computer. After restarting your computer, launch Task Manager or any other hardware-monitoring software and check the processor clocks when opening the Start menu, Action Center, and more. Your processor should spike to its highest possible speed and then return to lower clocks. In addition to Low Latency Mode, the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update delivers additional features, such as multi-camera mode for apps (several apps can use a single camera stream), shared Bluetooth audio, improved Task Manager, and more.

      I agree, especially with newer versions of MS Office supporting ODF documents, there isn't even a compatibility argument to be made. It should default to ODF on a clean install, with admin configurable options to make MS Office the default if that is desired.

      Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
