Configure and Customize Opera

Opera has always been known for its configurability. You can change both how it behaves and how it looks.

Tweaking the user interface

All users have individual needs and likes, and thus it is impossible to create a user interface that suits everyone. To reflect this, Opera makes it simple for users to change its appearance.

Skins

You can apply a skin to Opera to entirely change the way Opera looks. Skins change such elements of the interface as colors, buttons, icons, and back- and foreground images.

Style sheets

You can change how Opera displays Web pages. With Opera's default setup, this is done by clicking the button on the view bar and selecting "User mode" rather than "Author mode" in the drop-down.

Plug-ins

Plug-ins are third party software enabling multimedia in Web pages. A plug-in could for example give you the ability to play audio samples or view video movies.
