Extract and open skin.ini from zipped skin file. Add/modify the value of Pagebar max button width & Pagebar min button width under [Options]. Update skin.ini in zipped skin file and activate skin from Tools → Appearance... → Skin.
[Options]
Large Images = 0
Button Text Padding = 0
Pagebar max button width = 100
Pagebar min button width = 50

Opera skin with tab width = 50
width = 50

Opera skin with tab width = 100

If you set these as the same value... unexpected things happen. See http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=160372&t=1161387663&page=1

Thanks so much Tamil

I am the website owner of www.topfreeware.net. Take a look you might find some useful programs there :)

Now one last question. Is it possible to have 2 lines for the tabs.

So it would read like www.topfreeware.net
Best Freeware etc...
