As many of you probably know, in linux the red opera menu button looks horrible to say the least, which is why I made a skin to make it similar to chrome's menu button. I just read one of the comments on my skin and he found a far easier way to do this, no skin required:

Service for creating custom buttons ==> http://home.wanadoo.nl/sipke.reina/opera/buttons.html

go to step 3 and copy/paste this text:

Show popup menu, "Browser Button Menu Bar",,,"Panel Widgets"

push "Create Button"

Enjoy

Very useful if you are running opera in linux, or want less vertical space in windows (after adding this button, right click the red menu button > customize > placement "off" to remove it. To utilize the vertical space where the button was open opera:config and search for "Chrome Integration Drag Area" and lower it from the default 20 to your liking)

To remove the original menu button you need to right click it > customize > appearence > and change placement from "top" to off.

This doesn't work with the latest Opera 12 on Linux. I can still addthe custom button, but the 'O' top menubar icon is unremovable... it's unselectable in options :(

Still works fine here. To remove the menu button you need to right click it > customize > appearence > and change placement from "top" to off. I'll edit the OP with this instruction :)

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
