How to modify the speed dial to look branchy, instead of tiles?

An extension, maybe? Don't get me wrong, I love Opera's speed dial (it's the main reason I started using Opera again after the old Opera).
But now I have too many bookmark-tiles and folder-tiles - they look really messy (even though I always try to use a logo image in the tile, instead of a page screenshot).
Awhile ago I saw a picture of new Opera update (that was more than a year ago), that was probably never implemented - speed dial looked like neat and nice list of bookmark-folders. Not just a plain vertical list as seen in the Opera's bookmarks section, but the entire screen was filled with bookmarks in several rows - that looked really well-designed and handy.
Anyway, I hope that makes sense. Does anyone know a decent extension? Or maybe a way to manually modify Opera's speed dial (I suppose it's just a web-page, written in html/css/js)?

Or maybe someone knows how to put a custom picture on a bookmark-folder? That would lower down the mess

Yes, with too many tiles the overview is being lost, that's a problem with Opera. Sometimes I feel they should copy Vivaldi's method of having multiple Speed Dials.

@xirit32 nah, multiple speed dials = multiple mess.
I disagree, the way Vivaldi does it is far superior. Personal SD items and SD items for work for example don't interfere with each other and are equally treated, not like in Opera where if you start to add useful links for work to the SD they are being added to the bottom so you have to scroll down and down and lose the overview completely, like in your case also
And no, there is no other way in Opera -

Didn't Opera have the capability of folders in Speed Dial several versions ago?

@sgunhouse OK, I am just now seeing that one can add folders to Speed Dial via the Bookmark Manager. Thank you for the confirmation.

^ This is just an idea to organize, group and stack thumbs/folders on SD/SP.
A certain inspiration might rise from Windows 10 "interactive" slash "chaseable" live tiles. Similar type of concept might work well on SD/SP too.

And yes - SD/SP thumbs/folders ~ it would be nice to:
i) choose current outlook or circles
ii) ability to choose thumbnail sizes (for example 2 or 3 pre set options)
iii) ability to have multiple sizes on SD/SP screen in a non-rigid arrangement

fvd speed dial
I'm not sure about that but many times especially exts at Chrome store shift ur data to a remote server. And then one needs to create an account to they're service inorder to get some gimmicky extra.
Speaking of Speed dial - I miss Stash.

I use the Pocket extension for this purpose. You could also use the sidebar extension, V7 Stash. They both work excellently.
