Compact Setup - New
Thursday, 18. June 2009, 20:08:38
Some of you might remember when I shared my beautiful Opera setups earlier. This week, Opera Unite was released, and a new version of the menus as well. My old setups aren't fully compatible, so I created some new ones.
The Compact Menus and Toolbars. They attempt to make an Opera equivalent of the menus in Chrome and Safari. They gather some of the menu bar items in two menus, and remove a few buttons from the address bar. Items you can find by right clicking or clicking a toolbar button are not included in the menus. The search field has been removed as well, but you can search by keywords such as "g search terms" to search google. For a full list of keywords go to Tools --> Preferences --> Search.
There are two versions available. One for the new Unite version of Opera and one for older versions of Opera.

You'll need to save the files in their respective directories. You'll find them by looking at the Opera directory under Paths in opera:about. The menu file needs to go in the menu directory and the toolbar file needs to go in the toolbar directory. If the directory doesn't exist, you'll need to create it. Make sure you save them as *.ini files and not *.* files. Both files are required to be saved correctly for all features to work.
Once you've placed the files in the correct directories enable them from Tools --> Preferences... --> Advanced --> Toolbars --> Compact menus - New/ Compact toolbars - New --> OK.
