Want Bigger Menus?

, , , ,

The new toolbars and menus as tested in the 8.0 beta are great, and exactly what Opera needs at this moment. But I know some people disagree. And frankly, sometimes I want to have more menus, buttons etc as well. Even though I am usually content with keyboard shortcuts for arcane functions as 'Validate page' and 'Copy raw mail'.

Toolbars are very personal and very easy to adjust to your own taste, but the same can't be said for menus. So I've made a downloadable menu for 8.00 (beta 1) that contains almost everything Opera can do from the menu, eschewing sub-menus whenever possible. Get it here:

Edit 2007-04-17: get an updated version for Opera 9.2
<http://people.opera.com/rijk/opera/ini/menu/bigger_menu_800.ini>. Not happy? Choose 'Opera Standard' from 'Tools > Preferences > Toolbars and menus' and the original menu is back.

One thing I didn't include were the gazillion toolbar customization options on the toolbar context menus. I hope everyone is used to the 'Customize...' dialog by now!

BTW, no guarantee that this menu will work flawlessly in a final 8.0, though I will make updates available.

More color schemes? Have they been there all the time?

Anyway, very nice :smile:

The color scheme command has a parameter for the actual color, so you could add a few million colors if you'd care to think of names for them.
