    Maybe there should be a way to define your own theme? Just a textarea where one can write a JSON or INI style config for whatever colours you want. I'm guessing there is something like a python dict in the backend for the themes anyway.

      I think we'd all like that - both for user selected themes, and for group CSS styles once they are a thing. It makes it easier for people to collaborate on them both and to share them with each other.

      In adding my own theme, I've figured out the theme setting mechanism.

      It's not rendered server side - the theme chosen is stored in a cookie and all four site themes are in the CSS served to everyone. Changing your setting changes the class of a lot of the site's html tags, and each of the four themes defines colours for all these themed tags.

    Love me some user themes. There was some more discussion in this thread. I think screenshots would be good for these discussions, too, so here's mine and my CSS (bit messy, oh well)

    Work like this is precisely why when ~ is opensource I have suggested encouraging user created theme contributions to potentially be included in the user settings 'display theme' selector here, as a sort of higher quality, curated version of reddit custom CSS.

    Thanks! I'll need to check this out on my desktop. Unfortunately it's on my phone that I would really like to have a custom theme.

    I'm in the process of switching everything over to Dracula. Thanks for writing this!
