Very clear thank you. But why do you have to mess around with these friggin mods when a little attention from the folks at Opera would have left it as standard on Windows installations.
I'd prefer that to them wasting time on a half-assed bit torrent modeule or friggin widgets!

Many thanks again.

Looking at this in the hope that it might help solve the problem that I'm unable to access the context/ drop-down menus when click on any of the headings in the menu bar (eg. "FILE";"EDIT"; etc)
I've tried creating duplicates & looking at the ini files

C:\Documents and Settings\chris\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\opera6.ini

and

C:\Documents and Settings\chris\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\menu\standard_menu (1).ini

The second file is quite lengthy. I was hoping there might be something glaringly obvious there, but I cannot see/interpret it.
Prior to this I tried unistalling Opera, then clearing out folders I could find for it, & then got rid of the only registry entry I could find- then installed the latest version. That did not solve it.
I've also tried disabling various extensions in Firefox in case they might somehow be affecting Opera. No luck with that.

I seems I need some expert advice :) if going to solve this.
Any ideas greatly welcomed !

lol. Ok, so I'm stupid, but when I press CTRL+F12, absolutely nothing happens lol. I was hoping this would be an easy 'tweak', but clearly one needs to be almost a developer to replicate the 'tiny menu' feature from FF. Very frustrating indeed.

How can I do this on Linux. Everything seems to assume I am using Windows. Windows is slow and outdated. Linux, while it may not be popular, is far more advanced. Please post something about doing this on Linux!

It is same in Linux also. Did you click the profile link in post?
