The timing of this is a funny coincidence as Stack Overflow has just been rolling out their own new navigation topbar [0] to the sounds of "PLEASE, theme it dark" from their meta community. A lot of it just sounds like bikeshedding to me, but it's funny timing nonetheless. [0]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/343106/2619939

This is why I prefer local clients to "the web". Everyone has these religious level opinions on the "right" way to style things.

I'm all about the socialized design and implementation of the pipes and tubes. When it comes to the front end, the part I'll be expected to stare at all day, that should look and behave how I see fit.

Customizable clients, with sane defaults for everything! And we'll avoid this sitting around bellyaching about personal tastes all day.

1. i don't like it, contrast too jarring.

2. why is this front-page worthy? is there someone who might have missed this? is it especially important/interesting?

it's like those stupid "Github is down!" posts. i'm sure anyone who cares already knows.

who upvotes this crap?

I do wish Github had a dark theme option at least. Sometimes I do a lot of reading on there at night, and all that white is too much.

I use Stylish on Safari and Chrome with both the GitHub Dark and Hacker News Dark themes. My eyes couldn't be happier.
