You can auto-hide any toolbar in Opera after enabling it via keyboard shortcut or mouse gesture or button.
Buttons
You can add buttons to any toolbar (main bar, tab bar, address bar, navigation bar, view bar, status bar, start bar or panels) except menu bar & personal bar simply by dragging button links to required place. Clicking on the button links without dragging will add the buttons to for later use.
When you try to add a button, a dialog box with following message will popup. Press OK to add button.
Adding new button with actionTo remove a button, right-click on it and select Remove From Toolbar.

Nevermind. I'm kind of slow today and finally get the point of these buttons.

For your Address Bar Autohide button, is it possible to get focus on the address field automatically?
edit:
Figured it out after much trial and error:
Set alignment, "Document toolbar", 6 & Show Opera & Delay, 10 & Focus Address Field & Delay, 12000 & Set alignment, "Document toolbar", 0
For some reason Focus Address Field doesn't work by itself. Needed some kind of redrawing command plus a delay before focusing.

> You can auto-hide any toolbar in Opera
Even the Start bar? Are you sure?
You are also missing the instructions for the View and Navigation bars. Can you autohide them?
For example, How do I turn the "eyeglass" button on the Address bar show an autohiding View bar? I really want to know because I always want it disappearing when I'm done picking one of the view options.

Remove your button & use View Bar button.

why are there those differences? Is it a bug in 9.51 10081?
Thank you.

Tamil
anyway to just get the typed in adressers to show in the adress filed ?
like IE does and firefox 2.X does ( Firefox 3.0 has the same shitty adress filed that shows bookmarks and searches and history ,but in FF it was easy to find on google how to disable it so the 3.x adress filed works like in FF2.X)
i don't want to turn off the Auto Dropdown completly, only stop bookmarks(favorites)and serches to show up
only want "tih"(typed in histroy) to show like old operas did a way back (havent tested opera sens version 5 or 6)
By anonymous user, # 25. July 2008, 12:37:58
hum funny couldn't post with opera here ?
so i posted with FF2.x test this time again with opera 9.51
