Could you add a feature to the 'edit' section on speed dials to change the picture/icon? On speed dials that come with opera, all of them are large logo's (gmail, facebook etc). But any other page that is added comes as a screenshot instead. If it is supposed to look like an app, I would prefer to change the picture myself to an appropriate logo, just add it to the edit function.
I'd also like this, but mainly to block certain news sites so I don't have to scroll past them all the time. Namely, the daily mail, the mirror, the sun, basically I don't want to see news from british tabloids.
It was probably a design decision, but I have difficulty remembering what the icons mean in the drop-down menu. Would you consider an option for changing it to text? Could still have the icons on the left of the list. Could also do with an 'add' option in case the little plus sign was missed, from an accessibility point of view. So having hit the menu button from top to bottom:
Add to Speed Dial
Save for later
Forward
Find on page
Share
Speed dial
History
Discover
Downloads
Settings
Off-road mode
Obviously the list would be longer than the screen on most devices, so would need to scroll, hence why this was probably not done to start with, but I think it would make a useful option.
It's certainly a good idea. However, it might be worth starting with one of the better chrome bookmark extensions, since they already use the bookmarks API. I've recently found 'Neater Bookmarks' which is very nice. The only issue with it is that it assumes use of chrome's own add bookmark and folder features, so it a menu only and nothing else. The opera extension 'Add Bookmark' works well with it, but as yet it doesn't allow creating folders, so I have to show the bookmarks bar to be able to do that.
Another chrome extension 'Tidy Bookmarks' has all the functionality, but looks ugly to me. I tried to hack the html and css to make it prettier, but I wasn't ever happy with the results, and in the end I found a better looking one. I also stole the icons from 'Bookmarks Manager' (which has very nice icons IMO), for use with 'Neater Bookmarks'.
Hope that helps, and I look forward to your finished product!
Ha! What's the point of having a WYSIWYG interface if it's not actually WYSIWYG?! 
I have no idea why the numbered list I just made appears all on one line. It was on separate lines when I posted it... Sorry.
I realise this is an old thread, but I was searching for an answer for this, and found this thread, but also found a way to re-order them! Involves digging around a little code, so if your not confident doing that, make sure you save a copy of the Preferences file somewhere before you mess with it.
The website appears to have scraped content off of my.opera before it closed, but I'll give you a step by step guide here in case it disappears:
Simple, and works with v20.
No info on where tidy bookmarks got to, but just found a better (IMO) one on the chrome web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/neater-bookmarks/ofgjggbjanlhbgaemjbkiegeebmccifi/related
You'll have to install the opera>chrome extension though: https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/
I was wondering the same thing... 'Simple bookmarks' has also gone, both by the same developer. Did the dev just rip them out of the chrome store and put them in opera's without permission? Can't contact the author because all info from the page has gone.

@rafaelluik and @lem729, thanks! That worked a treat, and I see I can now change the speed dial size to my liking as well! Hooray! Now if there was only some way of changing the speed dial icons so they were all icons instead of mostly white images of the website...
@lem729, yes that was what I was asking. 'Opera Mobile for Android' was what I men't by Opera Mobile (the others being Opera Mini and Opera Classic). Hence 'Opera Mobile for iOS', because you wouldn't call it 'Opera Mobile for Android for iOS'...
Anyway, I'm using chrome for the ipad, which I'm pretty sure uses webkit. I think they all use webkit except for Opera Mini, which got an exemption on the basis it was doing server side rendering, so it wasn't technically a 'browser', but an app that linked to Opera's servers.. Something like that anyway.
As it is, since webkit and blink were until very recently the same thing, and Chrome (for iOS) is using webkit, and Coast is using webkit, I wondered if Opera have plans to port the 'Opera Mobile for Android' user interface to iOS, also using webkit? The answer is probably 'no', but I thought I would ask anyway.
