Opera's Halloween Browser
Friday, October 30, 2009 9:59:25 AM
First of all, well done to the community for answering the call for Halloween speed dial backgrounds with such short notice! After only a few days, there more entrants than I expected, and the end decision was a hard one. There were some truly sinister takes on the theme, and some wonderful artwork, but Jon's favorite of all was Cole Henley's 'Phantom of the Opera II'.
Cole's great use of public domain artwork, colour and textures, along with the subtle use of the new Opera logo, made it a sure winner. Well done to Cole, and indeed to all the entrants. Please keep making those Speed Dial backgrounds and sharing them with the community!
Also kudos ki-to for making the great "IBIS Inspire" skin we based this custom Opera build on! Keep 'em coming! 
Other cool Speed Dial entries:
How to install if you are already using Opera:
If you already have Opera, you need to backup 3 files and rename them in order to get the Halloween experience:
- Open menu "Help" » "About Opera".
- Find the path to the catalog with user data ("Path" » "Preferences") and copy the address
- Close Opera
- Open the catalog with user data found above (for Windows: "Start" » "Run" » paste the address you copied before)
- Remove or rename the following files:
- bookmarks.adr
- speeddial.ini
- operaprefs.ini
- Install the customized version (without removing the previous one)
If you are not an Opera user, simply download and follow the instructions.

But that's not all. What about every single entry on the first page on the comments? Don't they at least deserve a mention? I'm sure they've been putting their blood, sweat and tears into their submissions as well.
What would give me some peace of mind, is to be told these entries were considered. But as things look now. I believe they were completely overlooked. I know it's a mistake to rant my anger out like this. But it needs to be heard, just like Halloween needs to be celebrated.
Halloween is about celebrating every forgotten saint. Consider this the anger of every forgotten artist in this challenge.

Can someone post a screenshot of this build because I saw the same skin from other builds at first start-up then I reverted back to the latest snapshot?
