Adopt an Opera skin

February 1, 2010 · by Aleksander Aas

One of our long time members (and skinners) LarsKL, wants you to adopt his skins. This is your chance to be a part of Opera history as some of his skins date back to Opera 7!

If you are able to maintain a skin, he will give it to you. However, he is looking for an individual who has to be dedicated and want to make the best out of his skins and continue maintaining the high quality they are known for!

Check out this list of skins up for adoption and send LarsKL a message if you are interested!

I'd adopt Tomu's "TTT minibright", but he has ceased the development

Good idea, just like I once adopted a abandoned group blog

I don't know about any "copyright", I understand the copy-terms in case of skins like GPL = no permision to use use or modify needed.

Did I miss something?

some time ago I tried to make a remake of shadowguard:

I mean, it could be good as inspiration for you. But not sure if it is worth the time.

At first I wrote completely stupid comment about how many of these skins should be left alone in oblivion. Then, being a programmer, I realized many of my early works are still somewhere on my backups, and I still have many emotions about them.

These skins remind me of good ol' times. Opera Ibis is really really beautiful skin and was my default skin for quite some time.

IBIS was my favorite skin, but it had issues with v10. Someone please adopt it. I have tried IBIS inspire but there are some things I do not like in that skin.
