how can I do this?

Hi, I just saw a FF window with a FF 4.0 mockup in a screenshot and I tried to realize that in Opera. But it failed because of some reasons.

So this is nearly what I wanted my Opera to look like:



- I want to show the titlebar
Problem: I activated transparency=0 in skin.ini, but then the pagebar in Opera looks like the one from the windows skin (currently using standard skin). Thats not what I want.

- Where in the screenshot is shown "File" (1) I want to have the menu from the normal red Opera menu button and where now the home button (2) in the screenshot is shown, I want to have a bookmarks button
Problem: I can not put a button to that position. Its not possible to put it before the first tab, only into the "menu button toolbar", but then its placed on the top of the pagebar, not like the tabs on the bottom. I tried to edit skin.ini, to put the menu button also on the bottom, but I failed hard sad awww

Can somebody help me?

Guess not... your first problem might be unavoidable currently, at least not without making a more customized skin, that is if I understand the problem. You might want to dig through skins like <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/info/?id=9281">Z1-Glass</a>, <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/info/?id=9551">Omelion</a> and <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/info/?id=9901">Ultra Glass</a> (among others) and see what they might be doing in the Skin.ini (assuming that one of them has a titlebar you like the look of)... disclaimer: I have a fairly limited knowledge of how the skin.ini's work... but, can't you enable transparency by section/item, as well as the over-all transparency value? Or maybe it depends on the alpha/opacity of the image.

What happens when you switch the "Wrapping" style for '[Pagebar Head.content]', similarly to the Skin.ini you can also edit the values in Toolbar.ini directly

[Pagebar Head.style]
Button type=#
Button style=#
Large Images=0
Wrapping=0
Maximum Button Width=0
Grow To Fit=0
Mini Buttons=0
Button Skin={name of icon}

(might be other options, not sure), but you might be out of luck using that area, since it's somewhat "locked" in it's abilities... you might have to settle for using '<i>Pagebar Tail</i>', or '<i>Pagebar Floating</i>'

Thanks for your reply. I will try to have some time in the next days or week to edit and hopefully understand a little bit of how the skin.ini works.
