Easy access to google services.

first use the drop down menu to set the button size then flip the widget and delete the button resizer. Create your own custom buttons in this format:

button name@search url part 1@search url part 2@normal href@image url##

opera portal@http://search.opera.com/?search=@@http://search.opera.com@http://www.opera.com/favicon.ico##

Don't use line breaks or space, each button ends with ##

wikipedia@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=@&go=Go@http://en.wikipedia.org/@http://en.wikipedia.org/favicon.ico##yahoo@http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=sfp&p=@@http://www.yahoo.com/@http://www.yahoo.com/favicon.ico##opera portal@http://search.opera.com/?search=@@http://search.opera.com@http://www.opera.com/favicon.ico##ask.com@http://www.ask.com/web?q=@&qsrc=0&o=312&l=dir@http://www.ask.com/@http://about.ask.com/sh/i/s/media_logos/ask_xsml.gif##widget search@http://widgets.opera.com/search/?search=@&scope=all&x=0&y=0@http://widgets.opera.com/@images/widgets.jpg##

Really good idea, but it too big

It doesn't fit in a 1024 x 768 laptop window properly. If it is to emulate the official Google toolbar for IE, it should dock into the top of th eOpera window, not sit behind it which requires more clicking of the mouse, movement of the hands, etc. As you get older, it will be more important to you to minimize hand/finger movements.

Right, since its not official. Will be great help if you add MSN, Yahoo and Lycos search.

Its a beauty .... its gold.

If you could add like --
press alt+G -- and it would search in google
press alt+Y -- and it would search in yahoo
that would help a mouse avoider like me, it would be like diamond on gold
:-Q
And again if I could choose the shortcut then it would be like diamond on platinum
LOL

Firefox had a downloadable Google toolbar. One feature was the "translate" command, allowing you to hover your cursor over a word, and a little box appeared under your cursor with the translation in another pre-selected language. Now that I'm with Opera, translating is much more involved, clicking words, selecting languages, and opening new windows. Is there any way of getting the original Google translate option in Opera?

i am not sure of the code, what should be the code to add google bookmarks

It's most definetly cool, but I agree with Maderic, a bit wide, can't fit the whole thing in there.

provide better graphics for highes resolutions!

WHERE IS THE GMAIL BUTTON? OTHER THAN THAT ITS GOOD BUT TOO WIDE

By maderic, # Oct 21, 2006 9:59:00 PM

I have my screen at 800 X 600, but hey, it works, it's quicker than finding a link to, say, Google Maps via the Bookmarks menu and it hides itself when you've used it.

Well done.

Just found this widget and I love it. Only thing I don't like is that the actual search text form is very small (can't see what I'm typing) and I can't find a way to resize it.

Is there (or could there be) a way to remove the search text form like the other buttons (and use Opera's default google search form) or include a way to resize it?

version 5 is up

By gabydewilde, # Aug 7, 2006 8:23:49 PM

Nice widget! Like others before me said, you need to trim down the default displayed icon set a bit. Being able to set the order of buttons would be nice, too.

Seeing as it is a hovering toolbar and not a real one, I turned on the Personal toolbar, removed everything in it and put the GToolbar widget there. Fits perfectly.

By Merijn, # Aug 1, 2006 1:22:35 PM

This is a great widget. The default setting is too wide though. I use 1280 X 1024 resolutions, which is probably the "average high" resolution around. I wish the widget was about 900 pixels wide instead. The compact version is better but it's a bit cluttered with all the icons together like that.

By angrykeyboarder, # Jul 25, 2006 9:23:41 AM

this is very good widget .but it must have an orkut button.

By vikashtiwari, # Jul 21, 2006 8:35:05 PM

Very nice - particularly for a first try. So different to finally see a Google toolbar when I open Opera!!

By J-Mac, # Jul 1, 2006 5:45:29 PM

This is great! I like how it's close to fitting in the window's title bar (it'd be great if it fit perfectly and/or docked) so it's there no matter what application's up. Perfect for looking things up quickly when writing...I always found Word's dictionary/thesaurus wanting. Keep up the good work!
