Some Opera-related thoughts

Site Zoom

Allows you to set specific zoom sizes for specific sites.

Have you ever wanted to save a zoom value for each particular site? This extension does exactly this!

Description

This extension adds a button on a browser toolbar, by clicking which you can adjust preferred zoom factor (100% is normal size). Settings are stored in site storage (Opera Preferences -> Advanced -> Storage).

Download

SiteZoom.oex Use this link to download the extension.

Known issues

  • fixed elements may get unfixed, probably due to the scale method implementation.

Future plans

  • Fix all known issues smile
  • save zoom as widget.preferences, and add options page to manage it
  • Upload it to addons.opera.com, if it worth it smile

License

Try iconfinder. It's best search engine in its category.

There's a saying in our country: Two heads are better than one! yes

When I set the level for my newspapers the font changes - very odd!

Hi,

thanks for this extension, can't understand why it's so hard for Opera to implement this feature long wished by many.

However I found two bugs - I have same problem as Brian - font changes when zoom is set and on many sites, for example these two:

http://m.ihned.cz/c1-55383010-neposlusni-pacienti-dostanou-pokuty-zdravotni-pojistovny-si-budou-vice-konkurovat

If I set site zoom then paragraphes are not wrapped at the edge of the window but I need to scroll horizontaly which makes the extension impossible to use.

Can't the extension just use Opera zoom function? This would make the user experience completely same as expected.

I don't know if it's intentional or if it's just not meant to work with the latest Opera versions, but it looks to me as though it only zooms the web page. Opera's built-in zoom zooms the web page but also adjusts the content, which this extention doesn't seem to do.
Go to the YouTube homepage and set Opera's zoom to 120%. That's what I'm looking for... :-)
