Opera has always been known for its configurability. You can change both how it behaves and how it looks.
This is where you can set how Opera works. You can access the preferences in Opera by pressing Alt+P or by going to .
A selection of the most used preference settings is gathered in the Quick Preferences for instant access. Press F12 or go to and have a look.
Not all pages are the same. Sometimes, you may want to apply one preference to most sites, but selectively apply a different preference to a few specific sites. For example, you may want to disable unrequested pop-ups by default, but you may use some sites that rely on being able to use unrequested pop-ups.
Opera allows you to set several preferences for individual sites using site preferences. While visiting the site, right click on the page (or press F12) and select .
Once a preference has been set in site preferences, all preferences in that section will be used instead of the global preferences. To manage or remove site preferences, use .
For further information about Opera's preferences, press F1 and access the built-in help files.
More advanced preference management
The preferences dialogs provide access to most commonly used preferences. If you need more control over preferences, you can use the inbuilt preference editor. This is available using by typing the following address into the address bar, and pressing Enter; opera:config
To find out which files Opera uses for bookmarks, cache, mail, settings etc, simply go to . The locations (paths) of these files are shown there.
All the preference settings are saved in a file called "Opera6.ini", which is located either in your main Opera folder (where you installed Opera) or in C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Application Data\Opera folder if you installed Opera with the "Use separate settings for each user" option checked. Although you can open "Opera6.ini" with any text editor, and make your desired modifications (while Opera is not running), it is easier to use the inbuilt editor.

The User Interface- Opera's Panel - VII
Main menu
The main menu in Opera is made to be quite typical for the various operating systems; you will find that many of the options available in the menu are familiar. Be sure to keep in mind that the Tools menu is the main place to go to manage saved items and change Opera settings. Several extra menus appear when features are enabled, such as the menu, that only appears after at least one newsfeed has been added.
Main bar
The main bar is now disabled by default. This bar contains the basic buttons used to open files, save or print Web pages, and manage windows within the MDI.
Address bar
The address bar contains the basic buttons used to navigate within a document. Additionally, it contains the address field that allows you to enter a page address to navigate to, the search field for quick searching on the Web, and a button to toggle the view bar.
The address field also has some extra features. Clicking on the address field causes the start bar to appear, which offers home, top 10 visited sites, bookmarks, and search features. If the page contains any linked newsfeeds, a button will appear in the address field that allows you to quickly add the feed. If the page uses a secure connection, the security information field will appear that gives information about the security level the page is using.
View bar
The view bar can be shown by clicking the toggle button on the address bar. As well as inline search, it offers quick access to features that affect the display of the page, such as images, stylesheets, zoom, and fit to window width. If voice is available, the voice button on the view bar can be used to tell Opera to listen to a spoken command.

Tabbed browsing and Multiple Document Interface (
Opera offers several ways to manage your browser window. As well as offering the traditional single page, single window interface, Opera also offers many useful alternatives, allowing you to manage your browser window the way that suits you.
You can have several Web pages open at the same time within a single Opera window. This is called tabbed browsing, and is the default setup that Opera offers. When several Web pages are open at the same time in Opera, these will be organized using tabs on the tab bar. There are several benefits to this, such as speed, easy access, low memory usage, and a less cluttered task bar. Click a tab to bring the page into view, or use the standard Windows function by pressing Ctrl+Tab. You can also drag tabs on the tab bar to reorganise them, and middle-click to close them. Right click on a tab to see more options.
You can configure how you want Opera's tabs to behave, using . The tab options allow you to tell Opera if you want it to use tabs, or you could even make it behave as a Multiple Document Interface (MDI).
True MDI is more than browsing with tabs. In Opera, you can resize pages and tile them next to each other on the same workspace to compare or work with several pages. For instance, you can have a chat page open and running next to a page for browsing or composing an e-mail message. To make the most of this feature, use to show the window menu. This allows you to manage the pages in the MDI.
If you want to have new pages open in an entirely new application window instead, like some other browsers do, go to and enable "Open windows instead of tabs"
