No. :( TEARS AND RAGE!!1 I swear though, it did auto-hide during one dev release, and then the next release the feature was gone. :(
It's not so much that it can or cannot be customized, it shouldn't have to be.
I had a customized Firefox to look exactly like Chrome with three or four extensions, then tried Chrome again six months ago and was like "wait, why am I using three or four extensions to customize a browser when a browser already exists that already gets it?"
Maybe some can rationalize a screen width of wasted space at the top and bottom of the browser window. Maybe one search/url bar is too complicated and scary for some. Maybe going through the steps to customize a browser is fun... I don't know.
I admit, I can still find plenty of annoyances, plenty of things to nit-pick, but as far as efficiency goes, Chrome takes my cake.

It doesn't take that kind of effort to "customize" the Opera's UI. Most elements can be removed with a simple right-click.
And, depending on your OS settings, Opera doesn't have a real title bar in Windows 7/Vista/XP. That just a screenshot of Opera in a non-maximized state.

@Jon A., he was talking about customizing Firefox, not Opera.
