No favicon view: Revert back to 11.52 style please!

Top 11.6 Bottom 11.52
The default web page icons for 11.6 is red and is inconsistent to other default monochrome icons (e.g download, bookmarks) so if there's any chance or any way to revert it back to 11.52 style?

have to agree, the red icons break quite badly with the general look and feel of the skin.

PS: we are at 11.6 now, not 10.6 wink

Not all favicons are red — the screen shot shows only My Opera tabs.

nope, that's incorrect. my.opera has a red o on transparent background. the red sheet with the white o is the new no-favicon-favicon.

If you show favicons you're going to a get a mix of colours — there is no way to match the skin's colour theme. As I said, not all favicons are red.

This thread is about the look of tabs when favicons are disabled, and that's what the screenshot shows. No favicons...only red "things" decorating the tabs.

You've lost me there. I don't show images in tabs, if I enable them I see favicons — all sorts of colours.

There are lots of pages without favicons. My blog is one of them. The old no favicon symbol was some kind of beige of semi-transparent page, now it's red with a little O in it.

The culprit is \opera\skin\standard_skin.zip\icons\page.png. You can replace it with the monochrome page symbol of 11.52 or rename/delete it for an even cleaner look.

Problem Solved! Thank you very much!

I agree completely. The bright red default favicons were a total distraction from the useful favicons of the sites which actually did have favicons of their own. The trick of changing the png file in the skin worked (Thank you!), and I am glad to be rid of them.

Another grouch of mine is that when you have 60 tabs open as I often do, the favicons shrink away to almost nothing even though there is still lots of room to show them on the tab. The bother is that the left and right padding on the tab seems to be rigidly defined as something like 3 pixels. It would be better to define it as a percentage of the tab width, up to a _maximum_ of 3 pixels. Then when the tab width was very small the padding would also be small and the favicon would still be visible.
