[ more things ]

I'm a closet Opera evangelist. Here are some things you might find useful:


Warning: this is slightly out of date. A lot of stuff can be done directly from within Opera now rather than editing .ini files. There's still some useful stuff here though.


Hotbar Panels (aka "Sidepanels" aka "Sidebars" aka "Hotbars" aka just "panels")

ODP Panels - part of some other Dmoz stuff
Basic search (really basic)	preview	add
Advanced Search (modeled on Dmoz's own)	preview	add
For ODP Editors (OK so I spent a little too long on the colours here)	preview	add
Other sidebars
Hotbar panel for slovnik.cz (one of the best English <-> Czech online dictionaries)	preview	add
Google advanced search hotbar (or, as I like to call it, "Goo++")	preview	add
Site info hotbar (for when you're curious about a site you're viewing...)	preview	add

.ini files

→	pgl_menu.ini
	addition of a "load page in..." menu with options to load the current page in IE, Mozilla 1.4, Firebird, Netscape 7.1 and 4.07, Opera 6 (it's easy to add more) addition of a "swap servers" - goes to a simple php script which bounces between development servers and production servers based on the current URL (http://pgl.yoyo.org/opera/swap-servers.phps for source removed potentially dangerous and sometimes frustrating "close all" options from right click maximize frame and view source options made top options on page right click menu "Reload image" option added to image right click menu
→	pgl_keyboard.ini
