The default action in Opera 9 after pitch to zoom over of column of text is to move that column of text to the most left of the screen. Is there a way to disable that function. I mean like pinch and zoom over a picture.
I miss my pinch and zoom on my iPhone.
Go to Regedit, HKLM/Software/Opera/Prefs/Adaptive Zoom/Default Zoom change 175 to 0.
Thanks man, it works. But now I lost double tap to zoom out or in?

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
I noticed that no matter how far you try to zoom out, you can not see the entire webpage of certain sites.
Is there a reason behind this? And if so, is there a fix? Not a lot of ppl are talking about this issue.
I was really bothered by that, till last night when I managed to fix it while snooping around the registry
Lower Default Zoom (Really takes advantage of the HD2 beautiful screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100 (or lower value... play with it)
Hope it helps
humm weird. i still wont. webpages remain zoomed in on first entry. such as notebookreview.com. even after changing it to 100, the webpage does not fully show 100% but rather zoomed in.
** UPDATE:
changing the default zoom did not work, but right under that key was VIRTUAL screen (default 800). I changed it to 1000 and wahlah! it worked !
I now see webpages in full scale and no longer zoomed in.
This is great and should definitely appear in BsB tweak, I like it!
Hmmmmm weird, worked for me ... anyway, glad you got it sorted out. It shouldcome like that as standard really

You can find this setting in about:config -> Adaptive Zoom -> Virtual Screen Width
And if you guys are interested, here are a couple other reg settings I liked:
Increase Scrolling FPS
I changed the following key to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
PanFps=50
Increase Zooming FPS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
ZoomFps=50
These two above make a world of difference in smoothness of both scrolling and zooming on my device. Do not enter a value higher than 50 or it will not take effect (at least it did not on my HD2)
Enjoy
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
In my Kaiser, i could manage this by pressing and holding the bars to move the screen. In Leo this was impossible, so some sites were just useless to me.

Exactly. With "Virtual Screen Width" set to 1000 or even more, you will be able to always see the entire website.
does anyone kno9w why in certain versions of opera, when you open Google search engine, you cannot see the 'Show Options' button? (at the top -- when you click on this it allows you to hit "latest" so you get real time tweets and so on).
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.
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?
I have the TMOUSA HD2, latest stock ROM. (I assume the Opera is the same in both versions. If not, this thread can be moved to the TMOUSA HD2 forum.)
Regarding the built-in Opera 9.
I think zoom used to work in it--pinch-to-zoom, I forget if I also got a zoom bar, or tap to zoom.
Now though, I see no way to zoom in it. Pinch to zoom does not work in it any more, tap or double-tap does not zoom, and I see no zoom toolbar, or zoombar, nothing of the sort.
What happened? How can I fix it?
I cannot pinpoint exactly when the problem started, to know what I might have installed or configured, that broke the Opera 9 zoom.
I have installed the latest Opera 10, just to try it out. (Not to replace Opera 9.) Might the installation of Opera 10 have broke the zoom in Opera 9? Has that happened to others?
In any case, how can I get zoom back in Opera 9? (Hopefully more than one way.) Are there registry keys I should look at, that govern the zoom functionality?
Thanks in advance.
-----------------
PS--I just looked at where both pinch-zoom and zoom bar should be enabled in the registry-
HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults
According to how they are set, both those types of zoom should be working.
Both PinchAndZoomEnable and ZoomSliderEnable are both set to 1.
Yet, neither works. Could there be some other registry value somewhere that is interfering with the zoom functions of Opera 9?
