Any way to disable the scrollable zoom in Opera Mobile?

[akates]

I just updated to OMJ's 2.00 v2 ROM and I don't like how the Opera always has a magnifying glass down in the right corner for zoom. It's totally unnecessary as we can already zoom by tapping or using the D-pad and it gets in the way of what I'm trying to read. Any way to disable this option? I'm sure there is I just can't find it in Opera:Config!

Nobody knows how to disable this? I guess I'm the only one it bothers?

Actually, I didn't like it either, but it's built into the newer version of Opera. I reverted back to 15316, by cooking my own rom in Calcu's kitchen. I noticed that Mighty Mike went back to 15316 in his most recent roms as well ...

So if I have the version with this newer version cooked into OMJ's ROM can I install an older version of Opera without it? You would think there would be some way to disable it as well! Lastly, how do you check what build of opera you have?

I'm not sure about installing an older version ... perhaps OMJ can help when he returns. As for the version ... go into Opera, and type opera:about in the url bar ... it will tell you the version and build number.

its a simple reg edit

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Defaults]
"ZoomSliderEnabled" dword=0

btw, I'm on build 15445

Sorry to be responding to myself but evidently it's a bug in 15445. I was able to change my build to 15202 and it works much better with no bugs. All I had to do was replace the Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe files, no need to run a cab installation or anything.

You might want to try 15613. It is quite a bit faster, smoother, and has the zoom tool back on the bottom. For me, it's the fastest Opera, yet. If you decide to use it, be sure to kill opera process with dot fred task manager before installing.

I actually don't like the zoom tool but I found out how to remove it so that' no biggie. Since I'm using an Opera cooked into my ROM I've been just copying the Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe from the cab file into my /Windows folder (worked fine for 15202). Will doing this copy over all of the advantages of this new version as well?
