I was wondering what that was. I thought it was pointing out rising stories or something. Decorative colors? Markup that doesn't have some semantic meaning? How strange. ;)

Maybe for next Christmas he can let us choose our own CSS theme :-D.

The day Paul Graham uses CSS is the day hell freezes over.

The official religion of Hacker News is FSM, but a reform sect that celebrates Christmas.

You can do that yourself for pretty much any site with the Stylish extension for Firefox, which lets you tweak CSS of websites you visit. It turns out to be surprisingly easy to write your own color scheme or whatever. I actually use my own for hacker news because the default one makes it hard to see the links on the front page that I've already clicked on. http://arvindn.livejournal.com/98803.html

I was so confused when I landed on the homepage just now. I'm on my little brother's MacBook and thought his colors were off - then I put red + green together and the light went off. :)

It's been a long week.
