Pariah's Brain Barf

I guess this is a post that rightfully belongs here but however I'm going to get these out there if anyone wants them is beyond me..don't want to step on the toes of the rightful authors by any means.

What I wanted on my speed dial was a custom pic I put up of Norman Reedus (who plays Daryl Dixon on the AMC TV show, the Walking Dead) Hey, who doesn't look badass holding a crossbow? Anyway, my problem was/is the stupid speed dial boxes snap to a central grid, meaning they can't be moved, like say..desktop icons. Irritating, as Norman's delightfully delicious face was being covered by speed dial boxes. So here is the hacked up-stupid-shouldn't be necessary but was-workaround way I fixed it. Here is my result: a theme I like, with Reedus' yummy face clearly visible. I know what you're thinking..how are those speed dial boxes on the left like that? Muhahaha!



First, I downloaded (for my viewing pleasure) a couple of themes that I liked that had transparency on the speed dial.

1. IBIS inspire Transparent 3.81b (Screenshot)
2. Ultra Glass Static 2-v.7.50
3. Aesthetical & Classy 2

Then I copied them to my desktop and unpacked them. The part that drove me nuts were throbbers in the speed dial boxes. So I located those in the anims files of the skins and opened them with GIMP, and deleted the throbber pic out of the image. Then I re- saved the blank .png. Once I did that I simply repacked all the files with the same name.zip as before and put them back in the /skins folder. Reopen Opera and there are now plain transparent speed dial boxes (when you make new blank ones I should clarify)

To get the exact look of the speed dial boxes 'grid' placement that I have (boxes to the left or boxes to the right) requires creating 'blanks' These speed dial boxes are going to have the address opera: in them..that's it. that will get a transparent, rather than white box.

I know I know, sadly neglected Opera site. Well, I can't help it, everyone I know is on facepuke. I hate that site with the burning passion of a thousand STDs but hey what are you going to do when everyone in your family is there..*sigh*...at any rate things that are new:
Got my brother's Blazer finally..he got desperate for the cash. Now he's stuck with the clown car from hell and I get 4 wheel drive Woot! Finally got my fourth set of gauges done in my ears..now I'm leaving them the hell alone for awhile. Next piercing will be another dermal to replace my rejected eyebrow

Okay, off to do other things!

I get so many requests to get together with someone who is invariably from overseas. Why? 'Tis fairly obvious that they covet the one thing I have they want. What's that you say? My fabulous body? My super-model beauty? No, friends and neighbors, even better...my nationality! Dat's wight, wabbit...all these men covet me for my fabulously beautiful U.S. citizenship.

Ahem..anyway..So I say, turnabout is fair play. So I hereby make the offer. If anyone of British nationality would like to get together and exchange meaningless vows in order to possess dual nationality, feel free to let me know. I would be absolutely giddy to fake a marriage with someone who may not be able to stand the sight of me in order to get me what I want the most..British citizenship. The romance of it all leaves me breathless.

Glad the wallpaper submission is back up and running but it's all screwed up..I have like 8 of the same thing on there and the ones I did before are no longer listed under "mine" *sigh*

Yes, I was already on here..for a very long time at that. I've been meaning to make a new page in order to complete my quest for world domination of my username. Couldn't stand the thought of anyone trying to be me..so here is my new page. It features some of my artwork as my background and header images. Enjoy. or don't.
