Opera has long had a community site with skins for our desktop browsers (with millions of skin downloads). Now we have extended it to include 6600 Themes. You can sort by most popular, newest or editors pick. We uploaded two skins for testing about 10 days ago and with no marketing they have been downloaded more than 3000 times!

The best part is that this site works just as well with Opera on your 6600. Just click on the "Services" or "Opera Community" links in the default browser start page (or enter http://my.opera.com) . All the themes are available and you can download them directly to your phone. Get themes when you want to, not only when you are at your computer. No hassle with infrared, bluetooth or email attachments.

If you have a favourite theme, please create your free account at MyOpera and upload it. We guarantee you will get thousands of downloads! (Note: Ignore the text that says the picture size must be 180 pixels wide and 120 pixels high, the standard Series60 176x208 pixels now work fine). The more themes you designers out there make available, the more popular the site will be and the more downloads you will get.

Sagar is the web-master of MyOpera. We took the liberty of publishing a few themes to get things started. The person with the account that uploaded the files is listed as author. Hence Sagar, but you have been credited in the description.

And Please update the Blue theme to 1.8 ..

Would you have a chance to do this yourself? It's very easy, just create a free account at

http://my.opera.com/community/login/index.pl?newuser=true

then go to skins --> upload skins. Post as many themes as you can make! Note: Post them as SIS-files, not ZIP. Then people can download directly to their phones.

If you upload the latest versions of your skins with your own account we will simply remove the old ones. Then you will be the author and can update them whenever you have a new version.

As this grows we hope to have hundreds of themes and it will be impossible for anyone to maintain all of them. We think the best way to make this work is by putting a good infrastructure in place for authors to publish their themes and for users to download and rank them.

All we need is a couple of minutes effort from all you theme designers out there. And in return you will get your skins out to thousands of people.

Hi there, be_cool! That's a nice theme you got there. Will you kindly share it with me? My email add is: [email][email protected][/email]

You can also post it in this forum if you like. Thanks!

cfcmd,please don't spam this thread with e-mail requests.If you do want to say anything to a particular person,use the PM system.

HEY! DonPedro..

AEFOX, I already noticed and sent an email to our web-master. I'm sure he'll fix it in the morning. Thanks for uploading your skin!

HI!... DonPedro..

Now i see the files uploaded on my account...

But i uploaded one more and not show it yet..
the database update take a long time?

Another thing... any problem with Britney 2 theme?...
because i posted yesterday and today i see all except Britney 2..

Any problem with the pics on that theme?... no nudity there ...

And a final thing... could you please remove all my theme posted by other person or user but me?... i think that not make sense that my themes are repeated on the database... it's more easy for the users to see only one version, and my posted themes has the complete commentary.

thanks a lot!

cya!

We test them first just to make sure they work. So it may take a few hours before they appear in the list.

That may be the issue... I'll check.

Will do. There are a couple of other small issues we are also working on, but it should all be fixed during today

Thanks for uploading your skins! I see they each get about 300 downloads per day so it should be worth your effort.

Thanks a lot! DonPedro... 😃

may be i will begin to sell my themes 😃

by now could be a millionare with all that Downloads 😃

just wondering ... there is any way that you can put some pay zone for some themes? may be thrue pc web only... don't know...

thanks!

cya!

I'm afraid we have no plans to ad a billing system.

But atleast the knowledge that thousands of people out there are using your creations should make you a happy man! 😊

Aefox - your stuff is good and while I am a willing downloader of your themes now is the time start approaching people who will pay you for your trusty hardwork - I know of some projects which may be coming up requiring designers for themes and will let you know if you are interested...

Thanks to everyone who have uploaded their themes to this site. The system is now working well and we have 24 themes which together have been downloaded over 25.000 times. AEFOX' Blue Final has quickly risen to become the most popular with 2750 downloads alone!

We know there are many more themes out there. If you are a designer, please upload your themes at my.opera.com. There are lots of people who would like to use it on their phones, all they need is a place to find it.
