setup, opera, merlin, firefox, ribbon, customization, shortcuts

We've been rather busy with getting 9.2 out of the door, its been over a month since I last posted! To commemorate that release, I've updated all my custom setups.

Here you can find all the auto-install links, with links to old blog posts for some background info. Remember: use Ctrl+F12 > Advanced > Toolbars to get back to your previous menus and toolbars.

Twelve
Ribbon-inspired radical setup. Use the menu and toolbar together. Hide the main menu with Alt+F11 after tweaking the shortcuts.

Hugin
Mail-only setup. Very minor update. Use at least the menu and toolbar together.

More Mail
Sort of a Hugin-lite that adds more mail-specific menus, shortcuts and buttons, but doesn't remove the browsing functionality. Use at least the menu and toolbar together.

Bigger Menus
Just what it says.

Bigger Menus 1.15

OperaFox
Firefox lookalike. Menu and toolbar updated to be more like FF 2.0. Use at least the menu and toolbar together.

OperaFox menu 0.95
OperaFox toolbar 0.95
OperaFoxIE keyboard shortcuts 0.95
Recommended skin is still wFFTBrad Native by Ralf Demuth

Opera Explorer
IE6-lookalike, minor update. Not really recommended - an IE7 lookalike would be better

Use at least the menu and toolbar together.

Opera Explorer menu 1.13
Opera Explorer toolbar 1.03
OperaFoxIE keyboard shortcuts 0.95
Recommended skin is still IE6XP by Lars Kleinschmidt

Seven-Five
Return to the looks and shortcuts of Opera 7.5.

Eight
Return to the keyboard shortcuts of Opera 8.0.

Opera Eight keyboard shortcuts 1.20

KISS
Opera setup for partners and parents. The updated KISS below is even simpler than the one described at the link above.

Classic Clutter
Return to the toolbar-bonanza of Opera 7.23. Now with Startbar as well..

Classic Clutter toolbar 1.41

Single line
One toolbar for menu, navigation and status field. Hide the menu with Alt+F11 after tweaking the shortcuts.

Single line toolbar 1.3

About-this-site
Extension for the document page context menu.

About-this-site menu 1.12

This is an awesome resource. I found the Alt+F11 function to hide the toolbar particularly interesting.

One cool feature about the Opera toolbars - that I can't even duplicate in other browsers - is the ability to include a "find in page" search field at the top - I put mine next to the google search.

Very cool! But as a webdev I stick to webdeveloper toolbar (:

P.S. It would be very nice to add panel activation not with click but with mouse hovering - that will work just like Ribbon!

Rijk,
great work - I have to test all of them and write a blog post about several advanced Opera setups. Looks like you made most of them.

Two files are missing behind your links:

Opera Seven-Five toolbar 1.01
KISS keyboard shortcuts 0.95

Thanks Christian, I used lots of copy & paste for those links. Will fix them now.

Rijk,
I have installed a second copy of opera using the classic installer. The problem is that when I try to start it by db-clicking opera.exe, my already-existing opera installation takes over, and a new empty tab pops up. This is not what I want, I want to have a second opera (to install the hugin config).

What did I do wrong? Is there any workaround?

Rijk # Tuesday, April 24, 2007 7:05:09 PM

Did you really start the second Opera, which you presumably installed in a differently named folder? Because this sounds a lot like you started the same Opera again.

If you started the first Opera using the Opera icon on the desktop, make sure it opened the one you think it should open. 'Help > About Opera' helps.
