Opera zoom level

I usually use the zoom slider in Opera to adjust the zoom level slightly for a certain site such as this forum. As soon as I click a link the new page opens in maximum zoomed out mode however.
Is there some way that I can lock the zoom level so to say so that it will stay the same when I browse around on a certain site (or always)?

Good one, bump.

re
hi,
try to find solution in opera config mode. just open opera browser, type in address bar: opera:config
u will see config mode.
happy holidays

I know about opera config mode and have not found any setting there that can accomplish this. The only thing I can set from there is the "Minimum Overview Zoom" which will affect the default first zoom level for all pages I visit.
What I want to do is zoom in slightly using the zoom slider when on certain sites and then "lock" that zoom level while still on the same site. An ideal solution would be if you could have some configuration file where you could specify the "Minimum Overview Zoom" per domain you visit.
Very good would also be if Opera provided some kind of API for their browser. Then this and other similar issues would be easily fixed by the community.

Tilt 2 Zoom Slider

The Zoom Slider works for Internet, Acrobat , Photos, etc. There are a few other programs that need the Zoom like Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop on the origional Tilt had built in zoom and on 6.5 MS dropped the ball. Anyone know of a tweak to make the Zoom Slider work for all programs? Why should we let those IPhone users show us up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Barry
By the way, I really love the Tilt 2 and don't miss my origional Tilt.

Zoom on remote desktop mobile
I also would like the ability to zoom while in remote desktop sessions using my Tilt2
Seems like it shouldn't be a big deal to enable it.
Thanks

There's a cab that has Zoom Bar settings for a number of apps (it's just a collection of registry settings): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578420 -- some people have reported difficulties with this cab, so also have a look at my posting in the same thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4892668&postcount=22, which allows you to do it for a single app. (I also have a Tilt2, and am using the stock ROM).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the aforementioned link to the zzomadds app is a great app and I've heard it plays quite fine with the stock rom but for those of us who have flashed, it seems to have an issue and doesn't work. I run energy ROMs and the cab doesn't work with the energy so d/l it and try it and if it doesn't work, oh well...

What is a remote desktop and how do you do it?

Scroll or Zoom?
Just to be clear, does this app allow just scrolling in other programs with the zoom bar, or actual zooming in other programs?
If it only scrolls, does anyone know how we can enable zooming specifically in other programs?
Thanks,
Michael

Each app takes the zoombar differently.
For example,
Messaging - Text gets bigger/smaller
Internet Explorer - Zooming
Google Maps - Zooming
Contacts - Scrolling
Office - Zooming
Just depends on the app. There isn't a way (yet) to differentiate the two

Remote desktop zoom, screen orientation, missing keys on keyboard
Thanks for the reply, I tried the above suggestion (downloading the cab). It works with this like email, but nothing for remote desktop.
I do a ton of remote desktop to manage our data center and the ability to zoom would be great.
I also would like the ability to switch to landscape mode without having to pull out the keyboard (while working in remote desktop). Does any one know how to do this???
Finally, the ESC and backslash \ keys is missing on the keyboard. These are common keys I need. I have an AT&T Tilt2 that has the slide out keyboard.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a lot....

I have the solution for Landscape mode. That was a big issue for me, next to the need to zoom on Remote Desktop. Download an application called change screen and any time you turn the Tilt2 to landscape, no matter what application, it will change the screen. It also allows for an exception list which is nice for things like the phone application. It is free and listed under the cab file applications in this section. Works great

Make Opera Mobile 10 more usable in WVGA - increase font size!

Opera Mobile 10 is more slick, but a big problem I had with it was that unless Zoom was set to at least 140%, links / text in Portrait mode were too small to click on / read. The lack of adaptive zoom and zoom slider in Opera 10 didn't help either. Well not any more!
Either go into the Opera advanced settings page by typing in "opera:config" in the URL when Opera 10 is running and click on "Fonts" to change the font settings, or just stick the following lines into the "Opera.ini" file inside <Opera 10 Installed Location>\PROFILE\ directory:
Code:
[Fonts]
Form.Button=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Form.Input=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Form.Text=24,3,0,0,0,0,Courier New
H1=40,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H2=34,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H3=30,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H4=26,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H5=22,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H6=20,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Normal=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
PRE=23,3,0,0,0,0,Courier New
The 1st number in each line represents the actual font size. Adjust to your liking. The font sizes above let me navigate most websites with Default Zoom @ 100% and the text is very readable.
Note that some webpages will look more misaligned due to the larger fonts, but now at least you won't need to have zoom at 200% to be able to read the text
This probably also works for Opera 9.7 and below, but the issue isn't as important since these versions have a more useful zoom slider and proper font-size adjustment in the Settings menu whereas Opera 10 buries it in the opera:config page.
Hope this helps some of you out there.

Have you also tried to size the browser window to fit on the screen from the "opera:config"? I mean, I tried to set the default zoom to 100% instead of (I believe) 175% as is the default. Looking at a webpage I like to see it all, and THEN I decide what to zoom in on.
I read another post where the guy managed to set the zoom to 100%, I just didn't have any luck doing that on my phone! Maybe I made a mistake, don't know...
Wonder if there might be another place to type in how wide you want to see the pages in default mode...

Thanks for this info

Possible way to implement pinch to zoom in Opera 10

When you change zoom settings in Opera 10 and exit the menu notice how it zooms in/out smoothly after changing it to the new setting? Seems like the zoom factor is controlled by a value in the memory of the program. Wouldn't it be possible to change the value present in memory by using multi touch to write a new value?

not sure if this will work for opera but it's definitely a start >http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/zooomer-enables-pinch-to-zoom-for-htc-hd2/ I have seen pinch to zoom somewhere else but I can recall at the moment. If I remember, I will post here again. Good luck.

just download bsb tweaks in the omakret

You can use BSB Tweaks or Zoomer to get pinch and zoom. While its not an ideal pinch and zoom it works.

Opera auto snap on to text columns after zoom

After you zoom Opera would try to snap on to a text column automatically. I really don’t like this, but couldn’t find a way to disable it. I think it might have something to do with text column wrapping to match the width of the screen for better and easier reading.
But can it be disabled? I prefer a behavior close to a normal desktop browser. I was not able to find any posts that offer a solution or even mention this.
Can anyone help?
