The first image shows my normal setup, I clicked on the green link ("new window") and the "window" marked in blue appeared, which is represented by the button marked in red in the tab bar. You can see how this window disappears behind the right bar, where I have some search boxes and blurred out links. (Ignore the "djelibeibi" thing on the bottom right corner, it's just another always-on-top app.) The second image is just after I right-clicked on the tab button and selected "detach" (and then resized and moved the now desktop-level Opera window). Note that now the new window is a full Opera one, with button bar, tab bar, etc., but it's only limited by the desktop. For the third image I checked the "Open windows instead of tabs" option in the preferences, as I said, and clicked again on the "new window" link. Now the new window does not have the button bars, but again is not limited by the parent Opera window. Isn't this what you meant? |

i did find another way to get the window out : you can drag the tab into the title bar, this gives you a new opera window with the popup floating inside it, and if you maximise the popup it fills up that window. i suppose this is a reasonable compromise. nonetheless, it's really annoying that you have to go through so much trouble for this and it seems like really poor ergonomy : logically, if i click "open new window" it must be because i want a new window. what is the point of opening a new window which is stuck inside the current viewport ??? i don't understand why opera made this the default behavior, and makes the process for getting an actual new window so convoluted. thanks for the explanation though, i'm glad that at least now i know how to do it, even it took me many posts, three screenshots, and an opera "how to" site. |

I guess you can always try the second option I gave: setting the tabs to "open windows instead of tabs", then you'd probably have to use the context menu if you want a tab instead of a window... |

have you ever seen this graph ? i should point out it is from 2006, so things may have evolved slightly, and also that the red segment about using tables is totally wrong in my case (i loathe tables and i only use them for tabular data, never for design). the true breakdown is probably somewhere between that chart and this one : |
