This is the first thing i do to a new Opera setup.

I also remove the "Bookmark" section and move the "manage bookmarks" >> down to the Add/View toolbar:

Thanks Tamil. I know something now, that I didn't know when I made this thread.

I placed the panel selector in the bottom of the sidebar, wrapped over several lines, with small icons.

Thanks.

Opera 9 seems to have made changes to the panel controls. I can't find any method of disabling or moving the Panel selector seperately from the Panel Display. (I don't need those buttons because there's a perfectly serviceable drop down list that does the same thing in less space.)

Has anyone else found away to display a panel without displaying the selector in Opera 9+?
