Express panel of Opera

Browser software for browsing the Internet is constantly evolving. One direction of this development - it is easy to use browser. Thus, they provide users with more options for quick access to favorite sites. Moreover, this trend is inherent in all browsers. Including the latest versions of Opera browser. Among the functional simplifies the memory addresses and access to different sites, there are a few of the most common. These include: bookmarks , browsing history , subscribe to RSS-feeds . And in the latest versions of almost all browsers have appeared so-called "express panel" through which you can now get on a preferred site or services, a single mouse click. Consider working with a panel in the program for viewing Internet Opera 10. Frankly, I do not remember with which version of the Opera appeared Express panel. When you open a new tab in Opera opens only a white sheet, look at the bottom of the button "Show Express panel and click on it. If you have it will not appear there, you may still need to update your version of the Opera browser to a more modern one. After you call the panel must change the interface window, which displays Web pages. The top should be a form of search engine and several rows of empty cells below. Search engine, I have the default "Yandex", but it can change and set the default search engine via "Tools" menu.

Express-panel can be configured in such a way that it has a different number of cells. I have found the most: 5x5 = 25 pieces. Each cell is configured for direct access to some sites that I regularly visit. This is the blog, my other sites, or individual directories in them, accounts in social networks (VKontakte, Classmates, Facebook), blogplatformy and Twitter , various services, Forums, etc. Your list may be quite different, depending on what you are interested in the Internet. Weather, for example.

To configure the Express bar to click on the button "Configure Express-panel". Configuration window opens (see screenshot below).





At the top of the opportunity to change the background image panel on his or disable its display. In the middle part, you can configure layout panels, namely the number of cells (from four to twenty-five.). If you do not need the express panel, then check the box next to the inscription "Express-panel". Changes take effect after clicking the "OK".

After setting the number of elements on the panel, proceed to the appointment of every cell of your site. Some cells may be already occupied sites, established by the opera itself. As a rule - is a link to the homepage of the portal itself and several advertising options from other companies. However, do not worry. To remove unwanted cells from the link, please click on the right mouse button. In the context menu click on "Clear." Then the cell becomes empty.

However, do not necessarily. You can simply replace the reference to his own. For example, if there is "http://www.opera.com/", and you want to put a link to "http://vladekas.com/blog/". Then, in the same menu, click "Edit ...", and then at the bottom of the window that appears in the address bar, replace the original link to the new. If the cell is empty, then just insert a reference to the desired site. Then click "OK". If you are connected to the Internet, the browser makes a request to set the page and put in a cell of a mini image. In such pictures in the cells and you'll navigate for fast access to sites.

Also, it does not matter if you're still not understand that such a link. The browser remembers which pages you visit most often, and offers them a list when editing a cell. Click the name of the desired page, click the left mouse button and it will add the address bar of the cell.



Frankly, this function of the browser, I began to use the now very active. It is convenient and eliminates the need for redundant clicks to find the right link to the bookmarks, browsing history, or even through a search engine. Incidentally, I often watched as the people every day, injected into the search engine the same search phrase to go on the same site. Although one could at least use the tabs for quick access. Not to mention the express panel, with the right references, which is an obligatory attribute of modern browsers.
