Opera Chat
I use IRC via Opera chat and was just messing around with the im.css file to make the chat window a little nicer, like so.
but was wondering if it was possible to customise the smiles? Are the images stored locally somewhere?
here's the im.css file if anyone is interested, it lives at C:\Program Files\Opera\styles

Some of the images in your skin and their names @ http://home.wanadoo.nl/sipke.reina/opera/images.html

Thank you! I was confused because the native skin i am using doesnt have a smily folder, the opera standard one does though so I can just modify the images in there and copy it over to the native skin zip.
edit: oh yeah, never noticed that, will remember for future, thanks!

Fallbacks
If a skin is missing an element, instead of showing a blank space Opera will employ an automatic fallback and load the element from the “Opera Standard” skin. An element is considered missing if there’s no line in skin.ini that defines it — it doesn’t matter whether the image for that element exists inside the skin package or not. (from http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-skinning/)
I would make a copy of the native skin, edit the skin.ini and give it a different name. Then move it to your profile\skin\ folder.
When you make an update to your skin you change skins in Opera for a moment - this makes it so the file won't be inaccessible because its in use. (The default Native and Opera standard skin are ALWAYS in use and would require a shutdown to edit.)
