Change Opera Speed Dial background image automatically

Saturday, 24. October 2009, 22:21:10

, , , , , , ,

I have more than 500 beautiful wallpapers :yes: including lone tree and images in Hindu Gods & Goddesses photo album.

Changing Speed Dial background image is boring after several times and time consuming. So, I have added an option in Opera Launcher to change Speed Dial background image automatically with one of the images from specified directory after specified time interval.

Set time interval to 0 days, to see new Speed Dial background image after every Opera startup.

Yes, it's D:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Mis documentos\Mis imágenes\Speed Dial

Tamil 1. November 2009, 15:10

Image path with accents is saved correctly in OperaLauncher.ini but not in speeddial.ini :sherlock:

Tamil 23. November 2009, 01:45

Simple way without using CSS file. 
<p style ="background: #e5f1f4; border: 1px dashed #a4d5e4; padding: 5px;">Your text goes here.</p>

decodedthought 23. November 2009, 01:47

Tamil 23. November 2009, 01:49

decodedthought 23. November 2009, 01:52

i actually added the .note section from your css and then i tried using 
<p> </p>

it didn't work :frown:

Tamil 23. November 2009, 01:57

You have to mention that in HTML code. 
<p class=note> </p>

decodedthought 23. November 2009, 02:01

probably takes opera server some time to get my css working :D

decodedthought 23. November 2009, 02:02

even the main wrap text isn't showing :frown:
probably takes some time before the css gets registered :smile:
