The skin I'm using (the Blue Button 1.1) does make the active tab obvious, but what you've described is another way to go, Ronbo Jin — and Edit->Undo is a great tip! Thanks.

I like the X for closing because when you have a boatload of windows open it is easier to see what tab you are on. (Maybe they should change the active tab to red instead of making the tab slightly plumper.)

If you mistakenly click the X and close a window, you can recover it by going up top to EDIT–>UNDO and it will bring the window back exactly where you were. (This also works in Windows Explorer for undoing file moves, etc.)

Howdy. Since you're experiencing a problem removing Opera from your computer, why don't you tell us what operating system you have (Windows, Mac, etc.) and what steps you took to remove it?

Usually, in Windows, it's:

Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Select the program you wish to remove
Click Remove

I'd say "this is the coolest, fastest, easiest browser to use". I love Opera.

The most useful feature of Opera is that it protects me from filthy unwanted ActiveX stuff.

Long live OPERA…

Hi Red,

if "Mail and Chat accounts" button is greyed out, open opera6.ini in Operas installation dir and edit following:

Show E-mail Client=1

I assume that your opera6.ini is showing "Show E-mail Client=0″

Regards,
Joe

Another handy feature in Opera 8 is too rearrange the tabs on the page bar. This comes in handy when you cutting and pasting from one page to the next…. I wish Windows XP would allow this on it's toolbar :(

Thanks for the close-window X on tab fix as well. It was a major drawback to me, in what otherwise seems like a good upgrade.

That said, my complaint was more with the disappearance of the minimise/maximise/close at top right, rather than addition of X on tabs.

Personally, I'd like to be able to have both at once. Anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

Welcome, Courtney. I know what you mean. Throw a five-button mouse into the mix (left- and right-side buttons are forward and back buttons) and one blazes along. :)
