"%programfiles%\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" SignatureUpdate

1. Navigate to your opera installation folder's styles subdir (most often %programfiles%\Opera\styles)
2. Open the feed.css file in any text editor/html editor etc - I recommend notepad2 as it is lightweight and has nice syntax highlighting
3. Thanks to Ulrike25's and burnout426's posts we know how to convert the Full Article link to represent the actual full link (optional) by enclosing the following lines with /* comment */ blocks as follows
   

   /* ul.feedEntryAlternateLinks li a { content: -o-language-string(S_NEWSFEED_ALTERNATE_LINKS_HEADER_SINGULAR); } */
   /* ul.feedEntryEnclosureLinks li a { content: -o-language-string(S_NEWSFEED_ENCLOSURE_LINKS_HEADER_SINGULAR); } */

div.feedEntryContent { margin: 1.5em 0 2.5em; }

div.feedEntryContent { margin: 2.6em 0 2.5em; }

• To position the article link on top:

  div.feedEntryLinks ul li a {
    position: absolute;
    height: 16px;
    top: 0;
  }

• To increase link font size:

  div.feedEntryLinks { font-size: 1.4em !important; }

• To style the link:
  

  div.feedEntryLinks ul li a{
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
    background: linear-gradient(top,  #f8f8f8 0%,#f1f1f1 100%); /* W3C */
    background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #f8f8f8 0%,#f1f1f1 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
    box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.46);
    border: 2px solid #eaeaea; /* remove line if you don't want a border */
    border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px; /* rounded corners */
  }

  Tip: to generate a nice gradient background you can use a css3 Gradient Generator as well as add a drop shadow using this Drop Shadow Generator
• To add a hover effect:
  

  div.feedEntryLinks ul li a:hover {
    border-color: orange; /* alternative border color on hover */
    background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #ffd65e 0%,#febf04 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
  }

div.feedEntryLinks ul li a[href*="download"]{
  background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #7d7e7d 0%,#0e0e0e 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
}
div.feedEntryLinks ul li a[href*="download"]:hover{
  background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #febbbb 0%,#fe9090 45%,#ff5c5c 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
}
div.feedEntryLinks ul li a[href*="download"]::before{
  content: "";
  width: 16px;
  height: 16px;
  float: left;
  margin: 3px 3px 0 0;
  background-image:  url('download.png');
}
