You have made a mess

my suggestion is to download a Opera snapshot & install it as a portable & use this to learn how to customize Opera you can run it alongside your main Opera installation without any conflicts & is very easy to backup by just copying the install folder.
11.62 for Windows instructions on the page for installing the portable version ( "Stand-alone installation (USB)" )
To undo any changes you have made to Opera you need to delete the operaprefs.ini file open the Menu >Help & select About Opera , Look for Paths > preferences then Navigate to the location using Windows Explorer & delete the file & restart Opera the file will automatically recreated with the default settings.

My advice would be to just use one of the hundreds of skins already available or learn how to make your own .
