how to remove System Tray Icon of Opera?

[tommytabib]

Question: in opera (im going to use it for a while and see if its worth switching to) how can i get it to not show an icon in the system tray. I just don't like it there and am unfamiliar with opera so i don't know how to remove it.

Any help?

EDIT: and how can i make the downloads show up in a pop-up box like in firefox, rather than in a new tab?

hey there, i just reinstalled today and came across this tray icon again, so after googling to find the answer i came across this page

to remove the notification tray icon for opera, edit your shortcut/however you start the application, my command was "opera %u" on the shortcut, i changed it to "opera %u -notrayicon" and closed / opened opera.

hope this helps

not sure about the transfer window question.

That did the trick.
