I wish I could, and if anyone knows how...
(*Turns out I could, and did, see bottom of post*)

Here is what I know about that part of the file:

Quote:
<Banner
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\Inte rnetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
Width="0"
Height="20" />
The actual content of SelectedImagePath can be set to nothing ("") and 'Launch Browser' will still appear. The Height can be set to '0' and it will only remove the space above 'Launch Browser' so it's not vertically centered in its field anymore. Remove the entire entry for the size -or- the entry for SelectedImagePath -or- both and you will have an infinitely large vertical blank space under the search field (useless). If you remove the entire Banner section it will *look* great, because 'Launch Browser' will be gone and you have the links directly below, but the search field will then not let you type in it. I would love to find a way around that.

Another part of the Banner section I edited referenced what should be the old globe graphic, and I think you can point to another graphic as long as you also assign the size values to match -- but removing a big graphic was part of why I did this.

I do not presently know where the 'text' for 'Launch Browser' is stored because it isn't actually in the qtc file reference that is in [but could have been left out of] the manila files I posted. Also as you said, it's easy to add a PPCG link underneath the others if you use the manila file version that still has favorites set to 'True' (included in each zip), and especially easy if you already have it bookmarked in Opera.

EDIT: All that being said, I might have something for you t0mmyr, in a couple minutes -- not *exactly* what you had in mind, but we'll see.
EDIT2: @ t0mmyr -- I will have a file attached for you in a few minutes with all three styles in it -- plus it 'retains' a big icon, changing it to Opera, and removing the [on your version] extremely redundant link below it.
EDIT3: ok t0mmyr, try that file and see if you like it better. I set the banner section to:
Quote:
<Banner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\startopera.png"
Width="100"
Height="100" />
This will retain a centered icon, not too big for the cooked-in icon version (I was going to include a separate hires icon, but decided against it). I might attach it to the original post I made as another option, but I would see what you think first...

EDIT4: Of all the files there was one in the Basic Plus Opera w/ Favorites that had the opera link still below it, that was probably the one you wanted too *ha* so I have corrected that and re-uploaded this file to this post and to the original one.

EDIT5: Turns out you can add a Text="Launch Opera" to the banner tag and it will override the default 'Launch Browser' after all! I hadn't tried that before, but it makes perfect sense.

File Updated.
