How to Remove/Disable Opera Systray Icon
Written by Vygantas Lipskas on June 30, 2009
If you love clean working environments, then this is a must use tip for every Opera user. Ever got annoyed by system tray icon? Want to remove it? It’s easier than you thought.
Windows
Right click on Opera shortcut > Properties
Find target fields which should look similar to this:
Target: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe”
Replace with: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe” /notrayicon (with quotes).
Linux
Find your launcher and edit it by adding -notrayicon in the end.
opera %u -notrayicon
Update: there is an option in opera:config now, check this post for more details.
