resize window on tab menu

resize window on tab menu
Thu, 10 Jan 2008 09:56:44 +010
Hi,
I'd like to change my window size (1024x768 or 800x600 and so on) by 
clicking on the right click-menu of the tab (where is the title of the 
page, the close botton etc)
I think it would be very useful, specially for web developer (I know 
there's the web developer toolbar but my idea could be faster)

thanks a lot!

Have you tried Opera's MDI features? Press Alt+F6 or Shift+F6 or Shift+F5  
to detach tabs within a single Opera window. You can then resize them and  
view pages at various sizes at once.

You might also like to Go into the preferences and on the Advanced tab  
enable both the 'Window' menu and 'Show web page size  in title bar' on  
the Browsing settings and also disable the close button on each tab from  
the Tabs settings (since in MDI mode each tab has its own  
minimise/maximise/restore buttons to the right of the tab bar).

As a web developer, you should be able to make some simple user  
Javascripts to allow resizing of MDI windows. I don't think there are any  
native Opera functions you can assign to custom buttons or menus that can  
resize windows, there are only simple functions to maximise/minimise,  
though you could try running a user Javascript function by passing a  
"javascript:" URL to Opera's "Go to page" menu/button
function. Last time  
I tried that in Opera 8 it didn't work though, but I don't know if 9 or
