<![CDATA[Change Speed Dial Item Image]]>It would be nice to be able to change the image of an item on the speed dial either by uploading an image (stores a copy somewhere on computer) or entering an image URL.

It becomes red the heart when you bookmark the page.

But I cannot consider it a real bug. Perhaps you can post a suggestion. Meanwhile, the alternative is to change it by yourself. It only took me a couple of minutes each image.

I mean, why are they just not using the favicon from the site in the first place, or using the main color from the CSS or the image from the robots.txt file or anything that any normal human or crawler would use?

Here is a great example:

You want to save Craigslist and offerup, but both are purple with white letters.

If I google offerup and look at images, all I get are green images: https://www.google.com/search?q=offerup&client=opera&hs=1X0&sxsrf=ALeKk00P1_2hNXOQGxTaEtb5ZAuJE9d7Iw:1600122964855&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwin0KrH2unrAhVkIDQIHbzhDxQQ_AUoBHoECBkQBg&biw=1400&bih=701

The speed dial images are not a random choice, because if I delete it and add it again or do it from another computer, it's the same.

This is a bug and a UX flaw IMHO...

Albeit not life altering, in todays world it is a huge annoyance.

I have 2 sites with similar names and bot are next to each-other on the "new tab" speed dial page. Opera chose to use the same color for both and I hit the wrong one consistently.

I changed the image for one of them, using the heart then select image, but it does not change anything, that I can see.

I don't want the pre-made thumbnails and I also don't want text (it makes it hard to find things). Would love to see a feature like this implemented so I can put, say, the logo of the website if Opera doesn't find it.

please explain how the thumbnail list is generated so I can have a chance to get a useful one?

I don't know the answer, but it probably looks at apple-touch-icon meta tags on the page.

The reply is "oh but use the the ones already available for the bookmark" - which is not a very useful or helpful suggestion if none of the thumbnails are useful.

And - since its seems to be unresonable to ask for a function to upload - please explain how the thumbnail list is generated so I can have a chance to get a useful one?

I just restarted Opera, now speed dial thumbnails can be changed again with the heart icon.

But I was very specific in my original post what I was looking for. The way you responded, made it seem like there was such an option that I just couldn't see. I actually did know about the method you described in your second post, but that isn't what I originally asked for.

And then you replied like if you didn't know about such possibility.
