Beach Speed Dial background

August 16, 2010 · by Espen André Øverdahl

In the Opera 10.60 product video, there was a Speed Dial background many of you have requested for a long time. Well, the wait is finally over. :party:

Simply click the picture to view full size or download. In case you're wondering; it's a picture of a beach turned black & white with some contrast adjustments. May your Speed Dial look as good as never before! :yes:

Here's the YouTube product video of Opera 10.60, in case you haven't seen it:

    You certainly know what to put in a product video, Opera. http://www.skype-emoticons.com/images/emoticon-00136-giggle.gif - http://www.skype-emoticons.com/images/emoticon-00148-yes.gif -
    In my latest adventure in Italy I searched for best Speed Dial backgrounds myself. From now on I will publish them in my new album right here, at My Opera.    http://www.skype-emoticons.com/images/emoticon-00110-tongueout.gif -
    Check out the best of them here.    http://www.skype-emoticons.com/images/emoticon-00105-wink.gif -

  • Cutting SpoonWednesday, August 18, 2010 6:22:29 PM

    I like the suicide girl :wink: but its only good for personal PC.

    I prefer backgrounds like the soothing glow of cherenkov radiation (http://www.google.com/images?q=cherenkov%20glow), or vacuum fusion (http://www.google.com/images?q=vacuum%20fusion%20chamber%20glow)

  • Sipho MkhatshwaThursday, August 19, 2010 1:15:50 PM

    Beautiful

  • Iwan ismailFriday, August 20, 2010 10:29:09 AM

    Great

  • Nahuel SanchezFriday, August 20, 2010 7:20:50 PM

    Thanks! If very nice background for the speed dial :yes:

    (meaby you can put an "standard background" with the installation before the user change for own background)

  • Scott CovingtonFriday, August 20, 2010 7:34:59 PM

    Loving my browser, but in this video, you are able to pull down the tabs column up top and show all the tabs in small frames. I have a Mac and can't figure out how to do that.

    Anyone?

    Thanks

  • PeterFriday, August 20, 2010 7:52:39 PM

    I don't have a Mac but what happens if you point your cursor to the 3 dot in the top (middle of your screen), left click and pull down?

  • s0uLmAnFriday, August 20, 2010 10:42:37 PM

    very nice REFRESHING change

  • Pramod GhugeTuesday, August 24, 2010 5:32:57 AM
