Custom Opera Buttons

Custom Opera Buttons

Your Skin's Images is a useful resource for choosing button icons.

This is the old thread for Opera 9.5 Buttons

You can even specify which Advanced Preference Tab you wish to focus. Hover over a link to get the code you want, e.g. "Show Preferences, 15" is the code you need to show Preferences, Advanced, Fonts. You can add the icons to menus too, if you wish, but they're optional.

Opera Preferences Buttons (Updated to correct additions since the initial post)
Forms • Search • Web Pages • P4 ... P9 (Undefined) • Tabs • Browsing • Notifications • P13 • Content • Fonts • Downloads • Programs • P18 • History • Cookies • Security • Network • Storage • P24 • Toolbars ( + Customize Toolbars) • Shortcuts • Voice • P28 • P29 • P30

Any numbers that are undefined will bring up the last dialogue box used.

There is yet another button I would like to get, but I don't know how and if it is possible to make it.

It is a twin button: one "Close all tabs on the left" of the current (focused) one,
and the second "All on the right".

This button is buit-in in Maxthon

It has several lines, but those 2 are very useful, ...when you have a lot of tabs opened.

Thanks in advance if someone can help .

You might have better luck finding an Opera Extension that does that, since Opera Buttons can't really tell which tab is currently active.

Thank you, Vectronic!

Very strange, I have writen the previous post,

So, Thank you, Vectronic! (again).

Here's a useful button to replace the default "Open" button.

Open Click to open; hold to show the session menu.

hi, nice buttons i am looking more about this info thanks for sharing ..

I used to have some preference buttons, similar to the defaults in the Preferences category. The difference was that the names were only two letters (e.g. JS instead of Enable JavaScript), and there was no checkbox to the left — the button would just look pressed down to indicate the option is enabled.

Well, after the upgrade to 11.50, the background for these buttons no longer changes. So I have no idea if the option is enabled or not. Can someone please point me to versions that work, or maybe tell me how to update the old ones? I've tried various sites with examples and button makers and widgets and whatnot, but I didn't find what I need.

I believe it can be a skin issue. Did you try switching to a different one?

Yes. I've tried both Opera Standard and Windows Native, as well as a couple of third-party skins.

Here's an example of a troublesome button:

Button9, "JS"=Enable javascript, , , "JS" | Disable javascript + Manage script options

Originally posted by Gingerbread Guy:

JS This button works on my skins. The hover element is similar to the selected element, but you can tell that the button is enabled when not hovering the button.

For me, the button state is normal in the Appearance window (note the pressed down appearance). But since 11.50 this no longer carries over to the status bar where the button is placed.

I've tested in both Windows 7 and Windows XP — same thing. I don't have any third-party Windows styles, WindowBlinds or anything of the sort. Brand new Opera profiles in both cases; I only replaced the [Customize Toolbar Custom.content] section of standard_toolbar.ini while Opera was closed.

I would appreciate suggestions.

Since the devs decided to remove the enable/disable Java preference in opera:config - how should I disable/enable java now using a button?

The only way to do it in opera 11.5 seems to be the opera:plugins screen - klick the enable/disable button plugin there and you have the effect.

Question 1: Is there a button action to open the opera:plugins menu?
Question 2: Is there a button action for the disable/enable klick in opera:plugins? (One plugin only, *NOT* the main switch)

Hi,

I have 2 buttons that I use to enable/disable my UserCss Ad-blocker and my UrlFilter (Content-blocker).

Button0, "AdBlock"="Select user CSS file, 1, , "AdBlock", "Checkbox Skin.Selected" > Deselect user CSS file, 1, , "AdBlock", "Checkbox Skin""

Button1, "UrlFilter"="Set preference, "Network|Enable Content Blocker=1", , "UrlFilter", "Checkbox Skin.Selected" > Set preference, "Network|Enable Content    Blocker=0", , "UrlFilter", "Checkbox Skin""

With the 'css' one, the display is automatically refreshing when I tick/untick it.
But with the 'UrlFilter', I have to reload the page each time I use it.

Is it possible to force it to refresh the display whenever I check or uncheck it?
I have tried to add '& Delay, 500 & Reload' for example, in several places,
but it did not work

So, if someone can help...
Thanks in advance.

Button: HMA (uses the ninja contact symbol from the default skin as symbol)

It opens the page url in the same tab with the http://hidemyass.com/ anonymizing proxy and randomizes the proxies trough all 5 availlable proxies.

Used JS code:

(function(){
var u = 'http://'+ Math.ceil(5 * Math.random()) +'.hidemyass.com/includes/process.php?action=update&idx=1&u='+ window.location.href;
window.location.replace(u);
})();

@theCharlesF
Did you try the "Refresh Display" action too?

@ Charles F

I think the only way to do that would be

Set preference, "Network|Enable Content Blocker=1",,"UrlFilter","Checkbox Skin" & Reload + Set preference,"Network|Enable Content Blocker=0" & Reload

(<a href="opera:/button/Set%20preference,%20%22Network%7CEnable%20Content%20Blocker=1%22,,-694984494,%22Checkbox%20Skin%22%20&%20Reload%20+%20Set%20preference,%22Network%7CEnable%20Content%20Blocker=0%22%20&%20Reload">Enable content blocking</a> edit name as desired, I try and keep them multilingual)

It will show the current state of URLFilter... when clicked it will enable and reload, when clicked and held, will disable and reload.

Vectronic,
twice 'Reload' does not work! Check this, it has two icons:
Enable content blocking

Thanks to you two for the help!

@ Vectronic: it works.
I have slightly modified this version, to keep my original style (not multilingual):

Button1, "UrlFilter"=Set preference, "Network|Enable Content Blocker=1", , "UrlFilter", "Checkbox Skin" & Reload + Set preference, "Network|Enable Content Blocker=0" & Reload

@ Medium:
One needs to hold the click a while in order to disable Content Blocker with Vectronic button. In this way, the reload action works.
At least for me, your button reload the page only when one disable the Content Blocker, but NOT when enabling.

Originally posted by theCharlesF:

Oh, great, thank you!
But I prefer my icons

Yes your icons are nice.
I have played a while with your button code, but wasn't able to make it reload even when enabling the UrlFilter.

Personally I just use a basic one: <a href="opera:/button/Set%20preference,%22Network%7CEnable%20Content%20Blocker=1%22,,-694984494,%22Widget%20No%20Filesystem%20Access%22%20%3E%20Set%20preference,%22Network%7CEnable%20Content%20Blocker=0%22,,%22Content%20Blocker%22,%22Widget%20Filesystem%20Access%22">Enable content blocking</a> which looks like ->
(For the curious: Tile H/V, Content Block, Identify As, Lock/Unlock Speed Dial, Play/Pause Foobar)

Since sometimes I don't want it to reload, I might enable/disable and then open the page again in another tab, etc.

Either > or | modifiers won't work in this case with Reload, as far as Opera is concerned it looks like True > True, or True | True... it can't tell which option to switch to since they both "look" the same.

It would be nice if you could use brackets, like: (Preference & Reload) | (Preference & Reload) that way Opera would be able to evaluate the "result" of each one accurately, or better yet, just: (Preference | Preference) & Reload

But that's more of a feature request and not helpful... lol

Vectronic,

I use several yes/no buttons (that is to say ticked/unticked), that's why I have chosen check boxes.

but yes, your button is rather the same as my initial code.

Currently, I am fine with your new 'reload' version,
but it is true that Opera should develop more flexibility for the accepted code.

Sincerely.
Charles.

Hi, do you think to make a button which can be close all tabs left side or right side of the active tab? I mean after pressing button, all tabs will be closed after active tab or previous...

Originally posted by ZAHEK:

I tried to make one, some time ago, but I found it problematic, because sometimes "tabs" in the windows panel were in different order than on the tab bar. Otherwise it should work like (but not exactly): focus the windows panel & go to start/go to end & close page. But anyway, it wouldn't work as expected if you've got many windows opened.

Thanks for info. ANyone who try it?

I just spent a few minutes with it, but it looks like after switching tabs in the tab bar and focusing the windows panel, the focused page is not the active one, which gives even more complication. I'm not so keen in making buttons, but I would even say that it's impossible to make such button. - Let's wait for some more opinions.

AFAIK, extensions have no access to the order of tabs either.

See the topic Understanding Buttons

A button created with opera:/button code always has a title. A button doesn't have to have an icon.
What do you want this button to do?

If you're hand-editing the file anyway, it seems to me you can set a button as image-only ... yeah, there it is. Hmm ... hasn't been updated - says that in Opera 9 such a modification is not preserved if the toolbar is later updated, not sure if it has been fixed (or dropped for that matter) since.

Can't be done. If no title is given, Opera will use the name of the command (as you've seen).

Thank You very much.

Why there is no more button "Next" for "Find in page". Meaning like the old one that was real button, now there are buttons "Find Previous" and "Find Next" but they can't be dragged to another position.
I use Find in page, Address and Search in Address bar (in one line)

Next • Prev

Hi,
I want to add 1 line or 2 to this button:

Go to page, "javascript:UltimateHighlight();"

This button works with uhb25.js. When I push button, an input pops up, then I input key words and push ENTER, and it highlights.

Now I want to change it to:
If I select words in the page, then when I push button, an input pops up, it will automatically: copy , paste, ENTER.
If I do not select words in the page, the button will still wait my input.

Thanks.

I'd appreciate a little assistance with editing a few of the text fields and having them be icons instead, as you can see I located the skin and added an icon for SRWare Iron, FireFox just worked when the skin was installed, added to the [Browsers] section for the skin.ini and that worked, the rest however are stumping me a bit, just see the added buttons in the toolbar ini file I manually edited some time ago. This is the bottom right of the browser and I intend to get three png files, Calculator, Notepad, and Irfanview and have them where the text is now, thanks!

Adding Icons to Skins

Hoped you'd be the one to reply Pesala, always good info, I tried that page with no luck, somehow I obviously did not put things in the proper places. I tried a few things (over an hour or two at the least) and that was the best page of reference I found before I posted here to ask for help. I think I was just very tired when I tried it so I will look at it again when time permits and see what I missed, likely something small that makes all the difference, thanks and goodnight! (At least for me it is at what will soon be 1am)

Ok, when I view my toolbar file this is what I have that relates to my added custom buttons which all work perfectly fine (less the icons).

Now, when I go to the skin config file for the skin I am using and look at [Images] there is so much there I have no clue where to add the needed lines for the intended icons. I tried to go below the [Images] area and simply add the information for the calculator as such:

Calc = buttons/calculator.png

I of course added the png to the buttons folder within the skin, saved the skin config dropped it back into the skin rar and it saves fine but when I open Opera back nothing has changed.

I got lucky with the SRWare Iron and dropped a png into the browsers folder and added Iron = RP7/iron.png to the RP7 folder and it worked perfectly so I am a bit unsure why the other is not except to think I must somehow have added to the wrong area, this is where I apparently am missing the boat. Tried several folder and edited the path and none of them made any difference. If I can simply add that line for iron and drop in a png pointint to that why don't the others work the same? Firefox worked and I did nothing, just noticed it changed from words to the FF icon with the new skin and that prompted me to want the others to be icons as well. Sorry if I am foolishly missing something so simple but I'm a bit frustrated at it not working, this isn't the first time or the third even I messed with this over the past couple of years, this time it finally bothered me enough to post about it cause I REALLY like this skin and want to get things looking nicer all around.

The first two have no icons defined. Try:

Calc • NP

[Images]
Calc = buttons/calculator.png
NP = buttons/notepad.png
Butterfly = buttons/butterfly.png

Not that this helps your current problem, but where possible, you might want to use shorthand for applications.

Check: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

For instance, in yours you could simply use:
"... ,notepad, ..."
"... ,firefox, %u, ..."

Instead of the full "C:\...\appname.exe" ... I think Iron has one too, and Irfan might as well, but I don't use either.

That way if you have a dual/triple boot etc... you can use the same Opera install between them all, or use Opera more "portably" since "firefox" will point to whatever the valid location is in that setup, C:\... E:\... P:\... doesn't matter where it's installed. Or you reformat, and decide to move %apppath% to something else.

If your "P:" drive is a USB, and you also have Opera installed on it, then you can use relative paths, for instance if Opera is at:
P:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe

then your shortcuts/buttons for stuff in the "P:\Portables" folder could be:
Execute program,"..\..\Portables\calc.exe", ...

Each ..\ backs out of the current working directory, starting from P:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\ ... so, ..\ ends up being back in Program Files, another ..\ ends up back at P: ... then forward into \Portables\ and then calc.exe

That way they will still work if you plug that USB into a computer and P:\ ends up being F:\ breaking your current buttons/shortcuts.

I'll look into the suggestions, thanks.


Side note:
I use a SSD for the OS/C: drive some apps are installed to C, others to P
A Western Digital 600GB 10,000RPM Velociraptor for the P: and G: and the P drive is Program Files x86 and for 64, the G for games, then backup drives as well, internal (WD Black) and external (various). Inside the P drive for any program I use that is portable I simply have a Portables directory in which they reside.

Ok, I REALLY can't thank you guys enough and I am closer, but a few issues yet...The Irfanview icon is now showing but the notepad and calculator refuse to work still and I see only the Calc and NP as shown in the screenshot, below is info from the toolbar and skin ini files for your review, thanks again!!! The long ________ I added here as a spacer, it is not a part of either of the ini files.

Thanks, I saw the mess with notepad as well and fixed it, was toying with things and didn't realize I hadn't edited that out. Tried to add your suggested bold items and adjusted the name back and forth and button work but icons continue to elude me sadly, seems I am stuck with 3 of 5 icons, notepad and the calculator just won't accept using an icon like the rest, this is what I have now...

I did change the skin ini to show the full word as shown above, then I did the same for the toolbar ini, I actually now have the skin, toolbar, and actual png all named the same with the entire word, part of why I am frustrated after changing all in all locations 3 of the 5 work. I posted both skin and toolbar ini above and both show the entire words not Calc or NP so I am not sure what you mean about them needing to change, I had already changed both before posting the last time as, before that I was going to use the shortened wording but I decided to just go with the full working so all matched and I'd not run into problems. I really hope there is something simple I have missed but I just don't see it working any better, thanks for helping but it seems to be at an impasse at this point.

This is how it sits right now...

try removing the extra double quotes...
Button1, "Calculator"="Execute program, "P:\Portables\calc.exe"",,"Calculator","Calculator""
should only be a single " there

I knew it was something very simple I was just missing, frustrations sometimes get the better of you! THANK YOU, it looks GREAT now and I so appreciate you taking time out to offer the assistance. I don't often find problems that aren't easily solved but this one had been getting the better of me and I knew it was not a big issue but it was certainly a big frustration that is now over and solved and the browser looks better than ever!

Welcome... maybe whenever the hell I get back to working on my website, or button extension, I'll add a validator of some sort... plans plans plans.

Would it be possible to get the "Clock" button into a basic button. Right now the basic clock button (found under Buttons->Status) is just text with no button behind it so if the skin I'm currently using is of the "black text" variety the text can be hard to read. What I'd like is if it were text within a button. I don't really care what clicking the Clock button would do or even if it needs to use a checkbox, just something to increase its legibility without breaking into a custom skin.

The built-in clock is a status field and the text colour on the toolbars is determined by the skin AFAIK, so the only way to modify it would be to modify the skin or use a custom skin. The size of the font can be changed in Preferences, Fonts, Browser Toolbars, but the colour cannot be changed there.

Try using one of the many Clock Widgets instead.

Got it, thanks for information. I had thought it would require skinning but it never hurts to ask.
