Custom buttons for Opera
Custom buttons, input fields and such for Opera. I will try to include only buttons that bring new functionality, but ultimately buttons that I have either made or use a lot will be put here..
To use the buttons, simply click them or drag them to the toolbar you want. When you click a button it will be added to "my buttons" in the Appearance dialog. #Explain
- Execute program
- A run field for executing programs... write the command and opera will tell the operating system to run it. Thanks to shoust for bringing this into the light of day...
- Netcraft info
- Get info on the page you are visiting from Netcraft. If you want you can add a menu similar to that of the netcraft toolbar to this button, by clicking here.
- TinyURL
- Make that URL tiny! Press this button to make opera go to tinyurl.com and give you a shorter URL which is a lot easier to use.
- Hotlist
- Show and hide the hotlist
- Parent dir
- Go to the Parent directory of the website (like the "Up" button in Explorer or Konqueror etc).
- Fit to Width
- Enable and disable fit to width with a button reading FTW.
- Save Chat
- Save Document
- Save a Chat log, if you use the Opera Chat feature. (Or just save document, have your pick)
- View Source
- View frame (page) source. With the Compose mail icon.
- Popup Windows
- A button that toggles control of popup windows/pages.
- Close page
-
A close button with the same icon the as the close button on the tabs. Tip: Drag this button to where the page trash icon is and turn off the close icons on the tabs. (wee, firefox lookalike ;-) - RSS feed
- Goes to the current page RSS feed.
It changes text based on what type of feed it is: RSS, RDF or XML or Atom. - It now has a submenu with all your subscribed feeds, and if there is no feed in the page you are reading, pressing the button will show all posts from all subscribed feeds.
What?
Firefox users recognize custom buttons as extensions. Custom Opera buttons consist of simple lines of HTML code which are easy to create for anyone who knows a little HTML. When a button is added to Opera, it is written to its own configuration file, called toolbar.ini.
This is the code for the TinyURL button:
<a class="operabutton" href='opera:/button/Go to page, "http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url=%u"' title='TinyURL'>TinyURL</a>
