Skin

A skin is a collection of graphics (e.g. buttons) and instructions used to change the look of Opera's user interface.

To choose a skin:

1. Go to the "Customize Opera" section of the My Opera Community
2. Click on a skin to download and apply
3. Decide whether to keep the new skin or go back to your original skin

If you have downloaded several skins, you can always choose between them by clicking in Preferences.

To change only the background images (and not Opera's buttons), use either of two methods:

1. Click in Preferences and select an image on your computer
2. Right-click an image in a Web page, and select the "Use image as" menu

To make your own skin:

1. Study the files in the default skin
2. Create a similar collection of files and replace the graphics with your own
3. Put your skin files in a zip file and apply it in Opera
4. Share your Opera skin with others

You can also:

• Enable or disable special user-interface effects like button highlighting and button-text zooming
• Scale the size of buttons on the main bar
