Tab bar below address bar in Opera

Friday, 29. September 2006, 00:00:45

, , , , ,

You can't move toolbars in Opera but you can change their contents.

Download Tab bar below address bar.ini and place it inside toolbar directory in your profile. Then activate it. Tools → Preferences... → Advanced → Shortcuts → Toolbar setup → [SELECT] Opera Standard (Tab bar below address bar)

Opera default toolbar with tab bar above address bar
Default toolbar with tab bar above address bar

Opera toolbar with tab bar below address bar
Toolbar with tab bar below address bar

Opera toolbar with tab bar below address bar & start bar
Note: Start bar will hide tab bar when you open new tab

To DIY, see How to 'Move' Toolbars in Opera section in Visual Tutorials for Opera

I'm using such an arrangement of bars:
view_bar_&_tab_bar_in_myopera
Very much comfortably is to have tab bar at the bottom :smile:

Backup your current toolbar and copy [Customize Toolbar Custom.content] section to Tab bar below address bar.ini and activate it.

I am apologizing for my statement. Now I understand that there are people which wanted to have such an arrangement of toolbars in the Opera. I found it in the one of forum's topics.
You are trying to meet needs! :yes:
According to your example I can probably edit K-Meleon's files, in order to obtain this arrangement which I like.
K-Meleon doesn't have such a light regulation, like Opera.
Thanks for the inspiration! :D

Is there any way to remove the "my.opera.com" that appears just below the tab bar in the centre of the page? I gets jumbled with all the text on webpages.

Thanks for the toolbar tip...I've (finally) dumped firefox 2.0 - it's way too bloated now (memory hog)...back to Opera! and nice to have toolbar the same as I was used to with firefox

Hi guys! How I set the “close button” only on active tab as Firefox in “about:config -> browser.tabs.closeButtons” changing value to 0?

Sorry by my english, I speak spanish. Although, I can read it very good.

Thanks!!

It's not possible but you can add button. Drag & drop the following button to your toolbar. Close

Thank god, Opera is increasingly hostile to a Firefox-type layout, in 9.5 you can't even add browser buttons to the personal bar, which is how I did it before.
