Remco discovered a nice hidden feature in Kestrel that many people have been waiting for since the
introduction of speed dial about a year ago:
You can edit the number of items shown in speed dial!To do that browse to your "profile" directory (see "Help >
About Opera" for its location), open "speeddial.ini" in a text edit (e.g. Notepad) and append the following lines:
[Size]
Rows=4
Columns=5
Don't use too large numbers though or Opera will use all your CPU for quite some time.
Thanks Opera developers for implementing this very popular request and Remco for finding it!

mini, opera mini, jre, java
...
Ever wanted to use Opera Mini as your primary browser? You probably didn't, but for those with slow connections it might make surfing the net a whole new experience!
Imagine you're in some place where you can get 56k connection or worse just GPRS but you really need to check out some stuff on the internet. Using Opera Mini on your mobile phone might be a hassle because text input takes ages, so what do you do?
You just use Opera Mini on your PC! Proper text input, no more scrolling due to fullscreen display and still way less traffic (and thus faster page loading) than with a normal browser.
So how do you do this?
Downloading and installing the software you need:- go to http://microemu.org/
- download the latest release (you can pick the snapshot as well, doesn't really matter)
- unzip the archive on your PC
- Download the Opera Mini .jar and .jad files from operamini.com
Starting and configuring the software:- double-click "microemulator.jar" to run it. If that doesn't work you'll have to type "java -jar microemulator.jar" on console. (Please note you need to have JRE installed for this to work
- go to "Options > Select device", click "Add...", navigate to "microemulator\devices" and select "microemu-device-resizable.jar"
- select the "Resizable device" profile you just added and click "Set as default"
- click the "Resize" button in lower right to set the size you want
- go to "File > Open JAD" and choose the Opera Mini jad you previously downloaded
- "Opera Mini" now appears in the list of apps you can start, click the "Start" button to launch it
you can now browse the web using Opera Mini on your PC, in whatever resolution you want!

Thanks to "Mr Nobody" from opera.perm.ru for this nice idea

Another skin sucessfully update to Opera 9.50 (build 9542). Aside from adding the missing icons I also replaced all backgrounds and buttons with ones that scale better and changed the default icon size to 22px (from 16px).
Make sure to check out the included 32px icons as well, to do so enable "large images" in appearance-dialog.
I also decided to introduce version numbers to make following updates easier for you and me, this G.A.N.T version is 2.0.
Check
my site or this blog to stay updated.

Just finished updating my Qute skins for Opera 9.5.
This is a maintenance release, added the missing icons and some smaller changes. Considering this skin was last updated for 7.23 it could be called a major maintenance release though

- support for apng images. This allows using animated icons with alpha-transparency instead of the 256 color limited gifs.
To create apng images you can use GIF Movie Gear. Just import png images, go to "File > Save GIF Animation as..." and set filetype to png.
- New element: "Pagebar Document Loading Icon"
This is used while a page is loading. Unlike "Window Document Loading Icon" it's only shown in pagebar. If not present "Window Document Loading Icon" is used for pagebar instead.
- sidenote: My skins on My Opera won't be updated with apngs until 9.5 goes final (don't want to break support for 9.23 as long as it's the official final).
However you can download the latest apng-featured version of Phoenity New here (my server has a hickup today so try again in a few min if it doesn't work).
- sidenote 2: Work on an update for Qute is going well, all icons are done by now, only backgrounds to go. So expect a release during the next few days.
