Thank you very much. Edmond.

Create in your menu configuration a new menu section and new strings (menu items) with actions you want. For an example: [My_Menu_Section01]
Create new button with primary action Show popup menu, "My_Menu_Section01"

p.s. Keep in mind that not all actions and their combinations will work through the menu.

Please can you point me where need to be correct ?

Opera:/button/Delay,10,,ABC%20&%20show%20popup%20menu%20,%20"MyMenuSection01"

OR

Hello ,

This button can click & immediately go to the 1st website from [MyMenuSection01]. Also I can click the same button & choose other website to go to.

Button01, "Delay"="Delay, 10, , "Yahoo" & Go to page, "https://www.Yahoo.com" & Show popup menu, "MyMenuSection01""

But why the same string ( almost same ) of this another button does not perform the same ? It does not go to the 1st website when click on it but show me the multi buttons I created.

Button02, "Delay"="Delay, 10, , "GMAIL" & "Open URL in new page, "http://gmail.com"" & Show popup menu , "MyMenuSection02"

I want to :

Open URL in new page.
Button response on click & open the 1st website from "MyMenuSection02"

Thank you very much.

There should be a double <"> at the end of the line, as in the first example, you only have a single one in the second example.

Thanks

My problem is :

Button1, "Delay"="Delay, 10, , "GMAILMJC" & Go to page, "https://www.gmail.com" & Show popup menu, "MyMenuSection01""

Can Automatically go the the first item of "MyMenuSection01"" when click on the button.

I also choose the sister button from "MyMenuSection01""

But it does not open it on a new tab.

This one :

Button2, "Delay"=Delay, 10, , "GMAIL" & "Open URL in new page, "http://gmail.com"" & Show popup menu , "MyMenuSection01""

Cannot automatically go to the first item of "MyMenuSection01"" when click on the button.

But it does open it on a new tab.

How to make a button to have both :

Can automatically go to the first item of "MyMenuSection01"" when click on the button.

And it does open it on a new tab.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

How to modify the button below so that the "1st command" will fire once press ?

Also, can give me time to select "2nd command" to fire if I choose before Delay, 100.

Button12, "Delay"="Delay, 100 , , "INSPR|LENOV" & Show popup menu , "MyMenuSectionsinspiron""

Now it shows only dropdown & wait for me choose.

I want this button default fire the 1st command when button is pressed.

[MyMenuSectionsinspiron]

Item, "inspiron"=Delay, 600, , "Inspiron 11" & Email Clear Formatting & ..Send mail & Delay, 600 & Send queued mail

Item, "Lenovo"=Delay, 600, , "Lenovo" & Email Clear Formatting & ....Send mail & Delay, 600 & Send queued mail

Thank you very much.

Button02, "Delay"="Delay, 10, , "GMAIL" & "Open URL in new page, "http://gmail.com"" & Show popup menu , "MyMenuSection02"

That's probably because Opera ignores "Show popup menu" command due to lost of focus after the new page command.

1.Try to use a different method. Use "hold on" function (Opera's special function for a toolbar buttons) to show your customized popup menu after new page.

Button2, "MyButton02"="Delay, 10, , "GMAIL", "MyButton02_ICON" & Open url in new page, "http://gmail.com" + Show hidden popup menu, "MyMenuSection02""

How this works. Click on the button opens gmail.com in new tab. But when you click on this toolbar button with left mouse button and hold on left mouse button (w/o release) for two seconds - it will show your popup menu.

2.There is alternative method without hold on, just adds a dropdown arrow for a popup menu:

Button2, "MyButton02"="Delay, 10, , "GMAIL", "MyButton02_ICON" & Open url in new page, "http://gmail.com" + Show popup menu, "MyMenuSection02""

Hi Stng,

Thanks a thousand ......... !

What is purpose of the 2 below :

"MyButton02"

"MyButton02_ICON"

I can make custom icon ....... ?

Thank you very much.

@emc

"MyButton02" - is a button name (basically tooltip)

"MyButton02_ICON" - is a button icon

This link should help to choose a preferable icon: http://www.opera1.ovh.org/skinoskop.php
You can use any icon from a Opera's skin (standard or not standard - doesn't matter) .

I can make custom icon ....... ?

Yes, of course. You can add your own icon. But this is a little bit tricky, requiring editing of the skin.ini of your Opera's skin configuration. Here is a good manual: http://homepage.hispeed.ch/ttt-o/guide/32full/a-images.html

Hi stng ,

Button2, "MyButton02"="Delay, 10, , "GMAIL", "MyButton02_ICON" & Open url in new page, "http://gmail.com" + Show hidden popup menu, "MyMenuSection02""

I should made my custom button with format .ico ., 16x16 pixel ?

If I give it a name " Funny.ico " ., where I should change from here ===> Button2, "MyButton02"="Delay, 10, , "GMAIL", "MyButton02_ICON" ?? ( Because I do not understand why needs B"MyButton02" and "MyButton02_ICON"

Finally, my " Funny.ico " should put in folder buttons ?

To the Email contact icons, maximum allowing to ? I can see now default is like this :

Contact38 = contacts/contact_followed.png

Contact39 = contacts/contact_ignored.png

Thank you very much.

Hi

I should made my custom button with format .ico ., 16x16 pixel ?

There are two standard(most used) sizes of icons in Opera:

16x16 (small)

22x22 (normal)

32x32

Also, Opera supports a bigger icons (up to 128x128, AFAIK), but it's need a specified skin with large icons support.

http://homepage.hispeed.ch/ttt-o/guide/32full/l-specialsections.html#options

I should made my custom button with format .ico ., 16x16 pixel ?

Yes. Also, you can use 22x22 and bigger icons.

Because I do not understand why needs B"MyButton02" and "MyButton02ICON"

Replace with you own names.

MyButton02 = Replace with the button's name you want

MyButton02_ICON = Replace with "Funny" if you've added the new ICON (with "Funny" name) in skin.

Finally, my " Funny.ico " should put in folder buttons ?

Any folder inside skin's archive. Just use a correct path in skin.ini.

"Open the program executable in an Icon Editor such as Icon Sushi and save the icon as a 32 pixel transparent PNG. Unzip the entire skin from the skin directory to create subdirctories. The external program icons from my Opera Glasses skin can be found in \Skin\Opera Glasses\buttons2\ — copy your new PNG icon e.g. maintype.png to this directory."

Hi stng ,

Create in your menu configuration a new menu section and new strings (menu items) with actions you want. For an example: [MyMenuSection01]

in this , If I put 'Contact-Flat' submenu to
Contact-Thread'., I basically knows how to make something like :

Submenu, "Contact-Thread|Flat" , Flat="Show popup menu,,,, " ""

[Flat]
Item, "Contact-Flat" M_MAIL_ITEM_GOTO_CONTACT=Duplicate page & View messages from selected contact & Set mail view type, 0 & go to end
Item, " I add some of my other stuffs too "

My Question is, how to make this item "Contact-Thread|Flat also clickable with function of :

Item, "Contact-Thread" M_MAIL_ITEM_GOTO_CONTACT=Duplicate page & View messages from selected contact & Set mail view type, 1 & delay, 30 & expand all & go to end & delay, 100 & expand all?

so that my mouse can either click direct "Contact-Thread|Flat" to activate aove function and if I do not do a " click " I can choose a submenu..............

Do I need to assign Double click & how ?

Thank you very much.
edmond.
