I like this one more. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hackernew/lgoghlnd... Reasons: Commenting is not broken No eye attracting solid blocks of color taking attention away from the text. Works better with zoomed in.

The link appears to be broken. Happy to check it out, also I have just fixed up commenting, sorry about that.

Pretty incomplete at this stage: lots of broken layouts, parts of the original HN theme showing up in odd places. Nice stuff though, I definitely found the Designer News' design to be interesting. However, after using this theme I feel like the current design provides a pretty nice density that I've grown accustomed to.

Yeah a few friends have mentioned they like the density, which is very reasonable. I personally find it easier to scan when content is more spaced out, but I may just include a settings page that will let you change layout density to your taste.

Also apologies for the things that are still broken, my original post on DesignerNews mentioned that it’s still a work in progress and I didn’t expect this many folks to take notice of it so quickly.

It's really good, the only thing about it is the fact that the points are not displayed near the username. Thanks a lot for this extension ;)

Yeah it’s one of the things I intend on fixing up. I literally spent two evenings on this so there’s a bunch of things that need work but I thought it was good enough for other folks to try out.

My Hacker News looks like this:

I'm using a custom stylesheet, which you can find here:

I forked this from something somebody posted here a while ago, but I cannot remember it. If anybody knows the source, I'd be more than happy to throw a comment in there for credit.
