Hello. I was Mozilla user for many years, and wanted to give a try to Opera.
Since I'm used on opening new browser windows/tabs with shortcut (CTRL+N), in Opera it always opens Speed Dial window when I press ctrl+n. Is there a way to change it so it opens my home page instead?While I'm at it, does anyone know is there a chance to adjust cleartype text of fonts in search bar and some other parts of browser? On screenshot below you can see the difference in letters between bookmarks tab/search bar text and this one that say (Overview, Discussion, Rules, Help).. it just looks kinda blurry.

I will have actually one another question beside those 2 , lol... sorry.
Is there a change to change this white skin to some darker skin? Not theme, but skin.

Yes. There are extensions that can do this. I don't use any so I can't make a recommendation but you can find them on the Opera Extension store.

No idea.

Not at the moment, no.

About cleartype - browse through browser://flags/ - you can find settings for hardware rendering, cleartype and similar settings (for me text rendering is correct and I haven't played with these options). Then try launch Opera with command-line option --alt-high-dpi-setting=96 - this may affect rendering substantially, if your screen dpi is set to any other value (windows text scaling over 100%).

It seems Opera removed the option where I could just use my sistem dpi font on browser, like I use it on Mozilla. I don't like address bar font in Opera. It feels blurry.

Its a command line option. You add it to the shortcut icon that you click to open the browser.

I have downloaded older version (Opera 18) and text is clear as milk. But in this newer version text is blurry. Here's screenshots for comparison.

Try the Custom New Tab extension.
https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/custom-new-tab-page/?display=en
Set the page you want for your new tab, and then Ctrl T or Ctrl N will take you there.
For when you open the browser, go to Settings (Alt P), the Browser tab, and On Startup, and set what you want if you don't want the speed dial there either.
Another possibility for an extension is Home Page in New Tab, https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/homepage-in-new-tab/?display=en
though I haven't tried it.
