Hello, is there a way to hide the google search bar on the main page? I have set DuckDuckGo as my main search so I do not want to see the Google search bar on my main page. Thank you for all help! Cheers....

@rpwsalw It's Gmail itself that is changing the language. Disable the VPN or change the language in Gmail's settings.

Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't seem to be able to do this other than drag each link from

https://www.sync.opera.com

Can't we just block on the correct one and install the saved speed dial like on the Android version?

@colej2k Check Other Speed Dials in the bookmarks manager page, opera://bookmarks.

Copy the itens from there to Speed Dial if you want to see them in the current Speed Dial.

The Opera icon is always active in Windows 10 taskbar, and I don't know why. There are no pending notifications that I can observe.

Any idea?

@yakichan It means a broken download in your downloads list. Clean it.

I believe there's a 'control and something' that will exit full screen when browsing. Escape doesn't work. Any ideas?

@davidr1 F11 is the universal key to enter/exit full screen mode, usually.

Can anyone tell me how to turn an MP4 file into a custom live wallpaper for Opera GX?

leocg Moderator Volunteer @dying0 last edited by

@dying0 You can't use mp4, you need to use webm or webp.

See https://dev.opera.com/articles/making-animated-themes/ for more info on how to create an animated wallpaper.

Where do I find the file(s) with the bookmarks and the tabs?
My Opera crashed and I have only my hard drive to download the respective files.

Hello, I ran into a problem.
Reinstalled windows and found the lack of history, settings, passwords and bookmarks.
Is it possible to return everything if it was not synchronized with the account? I mean there is a history cache file on my computer.

@dementr For history, settings and bookmarks, you can use your backup. Passwords can onlt be restored through Sync or by importing them after have exported those passwords to a csv file.

I'm a new user (of Opera) so I may be missing the obvious.

However, I can't see any way to change the search box on the start page. It can be turned on and off in the Advanced settings but it seems that only Google is possible.

I have changed my default search engine (to DuckDuckGo) but this doesn't seem t affect the start page box.
