Since we spent so many hours reading text and code in this site, could we somehow customize the colors of the site?  Maybe give the possibility to anyone make their own themes. It's undeniable that in a few weeks there will be some very good themes available, and some dark themes with low contrast will make reading easier.

It would be nice if users could add their own styles to the CSS-Rules on SO. This is nothing more than a textarea in the user preferences that takes precedence over the default styles.  Users could create themes that are easier for them to use, and share with others. Sure, I could use my own local browser to override the styles, but that won't benefit me working on the other two machines that I visit regularly from.

Today, a bounty was awarded to  (thanks @gnat); when I visited my  I noticed that the amount is hardly readable since it's green text on a blue background:    Can that be changed (back?*) to white text please?  *: I'm sure somebody would've noticed it unless it was a very recent change...  (Tested on macOS Mojave, latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari.)

I have started using Trello.com for task management, but I really want to be able to customize the colors on different boards.   Is there any way to do this? Is it a possibility now or a possible future enhancement?

I am using firefox developer edition.  I have it configured with several programs that give it a dark theme.  My biggest problem with it is that because my eyes adjust to the screen being dark, the flash of unstyled content hurts my eyes whenever I open a web page.  Currently what I have done is to enable the dark theme, which does a good job taking care of the tab and url bar.  For the pages that are protected, I use ShadowFox to color them dark as well.  I then configured an addon called Dark Background and Light Text to color all of the webpages.  I have tried editing the display foreground and background color in about:config.  I have the developer theme set to dark.  Shadowfox takes care of editing the userChrome file.    Now my biggest problem is with websites like google.  With google, I get the original light colors for about a full second before the custom colors appear.  Most sites are not that bad, but all follow the same trend, showing light backgrounds before the dark ones.  Editing the display colors in about:config helped with some sites, but did not affect google at all.  I am wondering if there is any sort of configuration I can do to fix the fouc. I am perfectly willing to go as far as modifying the base colors in the source code if I need to.  I have not been able to find anything useful on the internet.  Is there anything I am able to do about this? Maybe change the color values in the source code?

I recently noticed that the red background highlight behind deleted posts is now a much lighter shade of red than it used to be in the past.  While I'm generally in favor of having higher contrast ratios for text across SE, I think this crosses the line a bit. The previous background was readable to me and didn't pose any contrast ratio issues to me. On the other hand, the new color is less visible than the old one and difficult to see on monitors with higher contrast settings. In other words, the contrast ratio between the red background and the white surroundings is too low.  As a test to see the magnitude of this issue, I tried raising my display contrast. By default, it's set to 20%, but setting it to 40% made it barely visible unless I really squinted at it, and setting it to 50% made it just about invisible. Some users may turn up their monitor's contrast to a higher level to better read text on screen, but this change makes it more difficult for those users who engage in moderation to identify deleted posts, especially if they've scrolled down.  Can we please make the shade of red that appears underneath deleted posts be darker (while still retaining WCAG Level 2 AA compatibility)?  Here's an image of the current configuration:        ...and the previous configuration:        I hope that this is one of the  of the CSS refactor.

I plan to use the member plugin by Justin Tadlock  I wish to know if how could I, on the front side, auto switch to a theme according to a role status.. for example authors would have the site presented using theme 1 while editor would have the site presenter using theme 2  I would rather have 2 different theme rather than conditionals within one theme structure  Thank you in advance

It's so cool that the notification reminds you of the colour of badge you've earned. But I am a little puzzled by the symbols:      Is it feasible to use the symbol from the earned site? At the moment it uses the symbol from the site I happen to be on (as you can see by looking to the left of the dropdown in each case.)

At first I thought my eyes were fooling me, but after taking a second look, I found the SO answer-tick to be brighter than before!  old:  new:   (I find the new color to be too bright and stingy, especially with the white background. The old darker green was nicer for the eyes. Can haz old color back?)

When posting a question with some code (or generally any question with more detailed description and some explaining) you have to do lots of scrolling when reviewing the changes. While there is huge amount of empty space on both sides. So many people have wide screens these days, I think they might appreciate the question preview instead of that empty space so there would be way less scrolling.  Also note this suggestion does not say "screw those with lower res. screens".

The new fad is to place background images behind text. Best practice guidelines say it's important for the image to be relevant to the content. From a usability point of view, the content is less readable. You see this happening a lot on apple.com.  I'm curious what the big guys like the NN/Group would have to say about this. Bad for usability, marketing guys want it... worth it? I'd like to hear your thoughts.  And thank you to the mods who want to call this question a duplicate, but I'm talking about text on top of background images. The other question on this talked about color consistency affecting contrast. Thanks for your consideration.

It would be nice if you could pick which profiles to show on your combined flair image. Or to create multiple combined flair images with different associated profiles.  I'm suggesting this because I believe not all SE sites are relevant to each other. I'd like to use a combined flair for SO, Programmers.SE and Code Review, but not other SE sites I'm active on.

This is now out for all of the sites  We've had the new default unified theme up on  for a month and a half now and the response there has been really positive. We got a lot of great feedback from the PPCG community and worked out a lot of trouble spots.   If you've been following the progress on my , you'll know that one of the staff will usually post a discussion on each meta site as the theme rolls out. With so many sites using this theme, we decided it'd be easier to post one announcement here on MSE and feature it so that the entire network can see it and respond in one place, as a bug on one site will probably be affecting all of them.  We don't expect there to be any bugs in this theme (famous last words, apparently), since it's been used for a while on PPCG but if you do see anything amiss, please use this post to point it out so that we can dig into it. Some of your concerns may already be mentioned on the PPCG announcement post I linked at the beginning of this one, so please check there to see if they've been reported yet.  If you have general concerns about left navigation or responsive design, please use the .  Some things to be aware of:   Left Navigation is active on most pages (but can be collapsed into a menu by visiting your site preferences - ). Responsive layout is active, which lets the site adjust as browser widths change - no side scrolling (some pages haven't been updated, yet, though). For now, if you prefer the scrolling, you can disable this by clicking the "disable responsiveness" link in the footer. Link underlining is active. In an effort to make links more visible, they are now being underlined.     While this change is definitely something many users have strong feelings about, I'm really excited about this step in particular because it means that some very long-standing communities will be a lot closer to getting custom themes. We have about ten sites that are no longer in beta but haven't gotten a custom design yet, and once this changeover is complete, we'll move forward in designing those sites - and maybe others.  The layout unification is also allowing us to more easily improve existing features like  and develop new features that have long been requested like , which is currently in testing. We'd love to get more features out to you all and that's easier when we spend more time working on the new features and less time squashing bugs they cause because we have 60+ very different site layouts.  This is addressed in a  if you want more detail.    I'll be doing my best to keep an eye out for - and respond to - questions asking about this change on the child metas for all of the beta sites as we transition to the responsive design but feel free to link users here as well.

Is it possible to give the letters a,e,i,o,u,y a different color in a piece of text? For instance, color all the a's red, the e's blue, the i's green, etc.  EDIT: Without doing it manually of course.

How can certain programs set background and font colors, write characters to the same location on screen (e.g. to the third row, fifth column) more than once?  Some examples are the progress bar displayed by curl google.com &gt; a, some installation screens and nearly any text editor.

If you click on  the font color is almost unreadable on the main site here.  Is it possible to make it a slightly different color? (I cannot say if darker or lighter is better)

I often find it intimidating to try and figure out where my question fits.   And will often end up posting in the wrong spot. Then I will get sent links to meta sites with large amounts of text, explaining why my question does not live there. These meta sites do great work in setting out clear rules, but there is a large amount of information to process.  I fully support the need to maintain the quality of these sites. But I find the user experience is a little lacking.   Am I just going about this the wrong way?

Update:  Thanks for all the feedback and bug reports! I am locking this thread so people don't keep answering it when we no longer monitor it.  If you see a bug or want to raise a feature request, please do so in the usual manner, as a new question.    Some of you may have noticed that  the  and  pages that we have been talking about for a while now on .  Most? Well, yes, the new design is dependent on a SE network-wide update (a new base css framework) that the design team have been working on. This is an ongoing effort and we will be launching the new pages as sites are moved to the new design.  You've all been hugely helpful already - much of what we love most in here came from  and  you gave us on Meta.     But it's possible that it's not quite perfect yet. If you find any bugs and have any feedback to give, please post these as answers to this post.  Just post one issue per answer - that would help us focus on specific items one at a time.
