Whenever we feature Opera in a post there is one question that inevitably crops up:
How do you disable the Opera tray icon?
It’s actually really simple and quite why Opera don’t let users tweak this via one of the copious preferences/settings/options/appearance dialogues they have i’ am ignorant of, but here is the 3-step guide for disabling the Opera tray icon in Ubuntu (or any OS)
- Type ‘opera:config” in the URL bar and hit enter/return
- Search for ‘tray’ in the search bar (or manually go to ‘userprefs’)
- Uncheck ‘show tray icon’.
Happy days!
