With the latest version of Opera Mini coming out this week, we were reminded to take another look at the popular and very usable browser that's too often considered a runner up to Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. So for the Opera fans, here are 30+ Opera skins (some pretty, some not so much) to spruce up your window on the web.
Emulators
BeOS - Based on the look of BeOS.
Collision 2.0 -If you just have to have the look of Firefox with you in another browser, then you need this.
DOS - Go back to the days of command lines and ASCII art.
Internet Explorer Classic - A retro look at Internet Explorer for Opera.
MSO2007 -Carry the appearance of Microsoft Office 2007through to your browser.
Office 2003 - Dialing back the time machine to the Microsoft Office of yesteryear, this theme takes you back to the simpler days of 2003.
Opera V1.0 - It's 1995, kids are just discovering this kooky thing called the "World Wide Web", and some folks are using a browser named "Opera". Harken back to yesteryear with this skin.
Opera X - An iTunes based theme.
Opscape - A retro skin for all of the fans of the old Netscape Communicator 4.8 browser on Windows.
Sofa King - Translates the brushed metal look of Apple's Safari to the Opera browser.
Wikiskin - Sometimes you just can't enough of Wikipedia in your life, so you might as well make your browser match your favorite site.
