<![CDATA[[Solved]Edit speed dial thumbnails or use a third party dial]]>How can I edit Opera's speed dial thumbnails, besides clicking the red heart icon and chose from a limited set of images?

I have many dials added and most of them are ugly, because I can't chose specific image for their thumbnails.

An alternative is to use a more customizable third party speed dialer. Opera extensions catalog lists only one: FVD Speed Dial. The problem is opening a new tab doesn't open this extension's set of dials.

I tried another third party speed dialer from Chrome Web Store - Group Speed Dial, but in Opera I can't set up to open a new tab with this extension.

So, how can I fix the issues above?

So, there are https addresses for .jpe images hosted on Opera servers. If I edit this bookmarks file and replace a .jpe address with another image, when I launch Opera the replaced thumbnail doesn't change.

I don't want to experiment further but I wonder if I backup this file and use it for a new Opera profile, those thumbnails from the file will be preserved?

The add-on is New Tab Start Page and the add-on I've used to replace Opera's speed dial is Group Speed Dial.
