Customize Speed Dials from Quick Settings.

You can always customize your Start Page and Speed Dials from the main Settings page. To see the changes, though, you have to go back and forth between Settings and the Start Page. An alternative is to make the changes in the Quick Settings panel on the Start Page itself. That way you can see the changes immediately.

To customize the Speed Dial via Quick Settings:

  1. Open the Start Page.
  2. Open Quick Settings from the top right corner of the page.
  3. Go to the Speed Dial Appearance section.
  4. There you can:
    • Adjust the thumbnail size.
    • Set the maximum number of speed dial columns that can be displayed.
    • Choose whether to display the titles of the speed dials.
    • Toggle off and on Add and Delete buttons.

Curate your Start Page with custom Speed Dial thumbnails.

Start Page is likely one of the most visited pages in your browser. So, it makes sense to put in some effort to make it look great.

One way to customize the Start Page is to select custom thumbnail images for each of your Speed Dial bookmarks. To add a custom thumbnail:

  1. Open your Start Page.
  2. Hover over one of the Speed Dials.
  3. Click on Select Custom Thumbnail in the top left corner.
    Alternatively, right-click on the Speed Dial and choose Select Custom Thumbnail from the context menu.
  4. Locate the file in your File Manage/Finder and click Open.

The recommended image size is 440×360px and most image formats are supported, including animated GIFs.
