Change Opera Speed Dial background image automatically

, , , ...

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.

Change an option in Opera dialog automatically

, , ,

Some of us change an option in particular Opera dialog always and it can be done automatically with the help of following action codes.

Action Description
Cycle to next page Activates next tab
Cycle to previous page Activates previous tab
Focus next widget Focuses next item
Focus previous widget Focuses previous item
Next item Focuses next item in dropdown list
Previous item Focuses previous item in dropdown list
Focus next radio widget Selects next ratio button
Focus previous radio widget Selects previous ratio button
Check item Enables checkbox
Uncheck item Disables checkbox
Show dropdown Shows dropdown list
Close dropdown Closes dropdown list
Click button Clicks button or changes state of checkbox
Click default button Clicks default highlighted button
Select item Selects an item
Go to start Focuses first item in a list
Go to end Focuses last item in a list
Delay, X Delays next action for X milliseconds

Following examples are for modifying menu configuration but you can use them in keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures.

Example 1: Enable "Open pop-ups in background" and "Enable content blocking" in site preferences dialog

Under [Document Popup Menu] section replace

Item, M_EDIT_SITE_PREFERENCES = Edit site preferences
with
Item, M_EDIT_SITE_PREFERENCES = Edit site preferences & Focus next widget & Show dropdown & Previous item & Select item & Cycle to next page & Cycle to next page & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Check item

The above code has 12 actions in the following order and animation shows functioning of code.

  1. Edit site preferences
  2. Focus next widget
  3. Show dropdown
  4. Previous item
  5. Select item
  6. Cycle to next page
  7. Cycle to next page
  8. Focus next widget
  9. Focus next widget
  10. Focus next widget
  11. Focus next widget
  12. Check item

Opera Site Preferences animation
Functioning of code

Site preferences dialog can be closed automatically by adding the following at the end of above code.

& Click default button

Example 2: Enable "Open tabs inside current window" in manage sessions dialog

Under [Browser Session Menu] section replace

Item, M_BROWSER_SESSION_MENU_MANAGE = Select session, -1
with
Item, M_BROWSER_SESSION_MENU_MANAGE = Select session, -1 & Focus previous widget & Focus previous widget & Click button & Focus next widget & Focus next widget

Example 3: Enable "Detailed Options" in delete private data dialog

Under [Browser Tools Menu] section replace

Item, MI_IDM_CLEAR_PERSONAL_INFORMATION = Delete private data
with
Item, MI_IDM_CLEAR_PERSONAL_INFORMATION = Delete private data & Focus previous widget & Click button

The above can be also accomplished by modifying dialog.ini file.

Use delay action between actions to check functioning of code.
