Opera released the latest version of its desktop
browser, Opera 12, which brings support for themes. Setting a new theme
for your Opera browser will add a new background image on the speed dial
and new tab page and would also change the colors the tab bar and the
browser chrome.
It’s not a terribly unique feature, with both Firefox and Chrome
being able to do this for a long time now but it’s good to see it arrive
on Opera as well and the implementation is actually pretty good. The
few themes available on Opera’s site also look pretty good.
We already know everything there is to know about the upcoming iOS 6 and let’s face it – it’s not going to be the jump Apple is trying to convince us it is. Everything is pretty much the same, with a few tweaks here and there, an overdue Facebook integration and extended Siri functionality. The major new feature with the iOS 6 is the new Maps app, now with TomTom map data and, of course, the addition of navigation. Well, people do use Siri and navigation for sure, but those people have also been using this same tired iOS interface for 6 years now. They need something new, refreshing and they are not getting it this year. Joost van der Ree published a few inspiring ideas that could easily fit into iOS, boosting the user experience along the way. Some of them are so obvious that makes you wonder why Apple didn’t come up with them in the first place. But maybe they have?
