Heh, just the way I'd like to have 'em too.

:D

Its all about options.
Sometimes in a hurry and a browser gets nasty,
its easy to boot one of the other browsers.

Not for 8.

Atleast I couldnt change the serial, it said its not valid.

But, there was a download on IKE's link for Opera,
maybe that serial works for that version only.

Has anyone noticed if you click on a link that opens a new tabbed window with Opera 8.0, you don't appear get the close window button (the X) in the top right corner? (it's there in version 7). You have to tile (or cascade) all your existing windows to close the one you want.
Or am I doing it all wrong? :unsure:

[Rip The Jacker]

There is no X button at the top right? :huh:

Did you try middle clicking the tab?

[Afronaut]

I got teh 8.
And ther's the X on Tabs too.

[zacspeed]

No. Just re-installed Opera 8 with the same result. if I click on the link to opera's website at the beginning of this thread, another tab opens, fills the screen, & the only "X" in the top right corner is the one that closes the whole browser. To close that particular tab, I have to click on "Tile" (or "Cascade"), then close it.
Rip The Jacker - you suggest middle clicking? please explain what you mean? :unsure:

Sorry if I'm being a bit stoopid, but I love Opera & I really want to use this new version.

Middle clicking means just that. Click with the middle button of your mouse.
If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, thats the middle button. :)

[zacspeed]

Middle clicking simply turns the cursor into the scroll icon (as it always has done).
I've just been fiddling, & if I go into Tools / Preferences / General, the "show close button on each tab" is also checked.
This is really bugging me now :(

Am I missunderstanding the question? Why don't you click on the button located on the tab itself to close it? The one on the right side of each tab.

It was frustrating me at first because I was accidently closing the tab when I hit it, but now I am getting used to it.

Strange... Was this an option before? If so I never noticed it or had it enabled.

But now that I am used to it, I can see why you want it so much :P

Maybe try and re-install?

[tracydani]

I just saw your pic. I do not have the x either. Maybe it is the skin you are using? Maybe it is not fully compatible with the new Opera?

Try another skin and see if that is it.

It was definetley there before & this is the 2nd time I've installed it

Just tried 3 other skins, none of them have it either.

[zacspeed]

This is it with version 7.54u2

Did you middle click inside the window? Middle click on the tab at the top exactly.

[zacspeed]

I middle clicked all over the screen Rip.
I think tracydani has a point - The skins I'm using don't support this particular function.
