How-to Add Buttons to Opera Manually
1.Start Opera. In the browser Command bar, go to Help >> About Opera. View a
path to the Preferences file - opera6.ini.
2.Close Opera to save the changes which you will make.
3.Open the file opera6.ini. Find paths to Toolbar Configuration and
Skin files which are set in the [User Prefs] section.
If you could not find such paths in opera6.ini, read further please.
4.If there is not a setting Toolbar Configuration in the [User Prefs] section,
it means that a file with standard Toolbar settings is used. This file is
located at (C:\Program Files\Opera\defaults\) and is titled standard_toolbar.ini.
It's not advisable to make changes in this file, because it can be replaced when
you upgrade to the latest version of Opera.
Therefore, you should better create a new file in the subfolder Toolbar, which
is in the same folder where opera6.ini is located. You can give it any name you
wish or similar to standard toolbar settings - standard_toolbar.ini.
Copy the section [Document Toolbar.content] from standard_toolbar.ini file to
the new one. This is necessary to leave all the standard buttons on their places.
Save the file.
To set Toolbar Configuration in the [User Prefs] section of opera6.ini file,
write a path to the new file. For example, Toolbar Configuration=C:\Program
Files\Opera\profile\toolbar\standard_toolbar.ini.
5.To add buttons to the Opera toolbar, you should make changes in the Toolbar
settings file. The path to this file is set in Toolbar Configuration setting in
the [User Prefs] section of opera6.ini file. Open this file, find [Document
Toolbar.content] section and add such settings at the end:
Button, "Open Tidy Favorites"="Open url in new page, "http://127.0.0.1:8998/index.html?sf",
" Open Tidy Favorites", " Open Tidy Favorites", "tfv_open""
Button, "Add To Tidy Favorites"="Go to page, "http://127.0.0.1:8998/index.html?add=%u",
"Add to Tidy Favorites", "Add to Tidy Favorites", "tfv_add""
Note: if such section does not exist, you should copy it from the
standard_toolbar.ini (view item 4), and add new settings only after that.
Now find a [Customize Toolbar Custom.content] section and add the same settings
at the end:
Button, "Open Tidy Favorites"="Open url in new page, "http://127.0.0.1:8998/index.html?sf",
" Open Tidy Favorites", " Open Tidy Favorites", "tfv_open""
Button, "Add To Tidy Favorites"="Go to page, "http://127.0.0.1:8998/index.html?add=%u",
"Add to Tidy Favorites", "Add to Tidy Favorites", "tfv_add""
If the mentioned section does not exist, you should create a new one and add new
settings to it.
6.Now you should add images for new buttons. Find a path to the skin file. The file is determined as Button Set in the [User Prefs] section of opera6.ini file. Place a file with images to this Skin file
7.If the Button Set does not exist, or its path leads to standard_skin.zip, then,
create a new folder named Skin at same folder where opera6.ini is located and
copy the standard_skin.zip to it. Give this file a name, for example,
tfv_skin.zip. Now re-write a path to the new skin file.
If the Button Set does not exist, simply create it in the [User Prefs] section
of opera6.ini file, and then write a path to the new file. For example, Button
Set=C:\Program Files\Opera\profile\skin\ tfv_skin.zip.
8.Extract the skin file to any place you wish. Copy images from the folder
C:\Program Files\Tidy
Favorites\BrowserButtonsData\Images\ to the subfolder Buttons. Open a file
skin.ini. Add the following to the section [Images]:
tfv_open= buttons/tidy_open.png
tfv_add= buttons/tidy_add.png
Save the changes and close the file.
Archive the extracted files to the same folder.
