Opera Composer lets users customize their Web browser:
Create Your Own Browser with Opera Composer

NEW YORK, New York - June 27, 2001 - At PCExpo, Opera Software today launched
the new Opera Composer. The Opera Composer lets users create, download and
distribute their personally designed Web browser to other members of a group
for free.

The Opera Composer lets users design as much or as little of the browser as
they wish from the graphics on the buttons to the illustration on the
start-up screen. Users can customize their own Hotlist and bookmarks, choose
between including e-mail and news, and give their browser its own name. Users
can spend 5 minutes and choose from pre-set options, or use a whole day to
design their own graphics and images to create a personal look.

"With the Opera Composer, Opera users can customize their browser in the way
that best fits their needs," says Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera
Software. "The Opera Composer lets everyone from local football clubs to ISPs
create a customized browser that integrates their community on the Web."

Opera Composer offers any club, organization or individual the opportunity to
customize their own version of Opera for free, allowing them to share their
customized version with friends, colleagues, members or customers. 
The Opera Composer lets users:
· add personal/special  buttons to the user interface with title/URL/Hover tip
· skin personalized images for toolbar and background
· personalize the browser name
· create their own splash/start-up screen
· customize Hotlist bookmarks/e-mail/contacts and 2 HTML fields
· set their own start page
