Speed Dial improvements
Saturday, February 26, 2011 7:06:19 PM
In latest snapshot of Opera (b2014) we can see that developers in Opera want to improve speed dial. Unfortunately, it seems that they started with improving something that everybody likes (ok, perhaps not everybody, but I think that most of us like more the old version of speed dial with fixed layout) and some things that should be improved are still same as before. I guess that the float layout of speed dial is not the only feature Opera developers are working on, so hopefully we might get some pretty cool new features to speed dial in near future.
Anyway, I was thinking about what things/features I would like to see being improved or added to speed dial. So here is my list:
So these are my ideas. Which of them do you like/don't like and why? What other ideas do you have?
Anyway, I was thinking about what things/features I would like to see being improved or added to speed dial. So here is my list:
-
Dynamic (current way)/static(customizable) titles - Folders (each folder should have customizable count of rows and columns)
- Open sessions instead of just one site (Tamil figured out how to do this, but it would be nice, to just click on some button like "Choose session" and then from some list choose the session and click on "OK"
- Any number of rows and columns (so we don't have to edit speed dial ini)
- Possibility to choose a folder of images as background of speed dial. Images would be changing after X seconds or after Opera start up (there even might be some image transitions)
- Reload icon after Opera start up
- Double click on speed dial background opens home page
So these are my ideas. Which of them do you like/don't like and why? What other ideas do you have?

Also make one tab named 'Most visited', just like chrome. But start with the default tab where you can pick your own websites.
The ability to change speed dial thumbnails without messing with config files.
But most important. Don't make it feel bloated!

I know, the problem is they from some reason decided that it was a bug.
