Example:

The following example creates a button on the browser toolbar. When the button is clicked, the closed state of the currently selected tab is detected. If it is not closed, the script closes the tab.

//
// The background process (e.g. index.html)
//

// Specify the properties of the button before creating it.
var UIItemProperties = {
  disabled: false,
  title: "Example extension",
  icon: "images/icon_18.png",
  badge: {
    backgroundColor: '#cc0000',
    color: '#ffffff'
  }
};

// Create the button and add it to the toolbar.
var button = opera.contexts.toolbar.createItem( UIItemProperties );  
opera.contexts.toolbar.addItem(button);

button.addEventListener('click', handleClick, false);

function handleClick() {
  // Get the currently selected tab
  var thisTab = opera.extension.tabs.getSelected();
  
  // If the tab is not closed, close it
  if (thisTab.closed === false) {
    thisTab.close();
  }
}
