Thanks, that's good to know. I'll wait for the v32 update and test it out then.

Also it's not about the icons really, it's about sorting. The sorting when adding new bookmarks is terrible, it dooesn't list the book mark bar as an option and I can not browse into folders when adding bookmarks. This is a huge fail on operas part. At least in chrome I was able to sort the bookmarks properly when they used the graphical bookmark manager.

To my knowledge there is no way to do that in Opera as there is nothing to replace it. You could just set it to list view. That way the icon would be much smaller.

How would I go about doing that, setting it to list view?

How do I disable the graphical bookmark manager?
In chrome they disabled it by default, but also have the option to do it via flags (chrome://flags), this is not possible in Opera.
The graphical bookmark manager is broken and abysmal, I'd like to know how to disable it.
