My Hacker News looks like this: http://cl.ly/image/1e061p3Q2U0U http://cl.ly/image/0B1s3m1R1b1Y I'm using a custom stylesheet, which you can find here: https://gist.github.com/kballenegger/5022493 -- 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.

It looks sort of similar to this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...

But maybe that extension spawned from whatever you had seen.

Off-topic but this is the first I've heard of DesignerNews. Anyone have an invite? There's no way to apply for one on the site.

You can find some people giving them on twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23DesignerNews

Thanks!

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.

Hey I fixed the link. I think your skin def looks better than the default HN skin. You should pay some attention to how it adapts to different levels of zoom though. I really prefer the one I linked for this reason. Things like inline replies and tagging are just nice extras.

There's a downvoting icon? I only see one up arrow. You must be special.

You should have at least 500 points of karma to see it.

It was a little higher for me. I only was granted when I crossed 520 or so.

I can’t really claim any credit for the design. I simply wanted to recreate the look of https://news.layervault.com/ which I really like so all credit for that should go to @Allan

As for the zooming, that should technically work as is, unless there’s something I missed. Let me know if there any particular pages that are looking wonky.
