There's an option in the HN settings to change the color of the topbar. When I first signed up I didn't know why it was there (I still don't) but I changed it to a fetching shade of green[1]. I've had it that way for so long that HN always looks odd to me when I log out and it goes back to orange. [1]: http://i.imgur.com/r6tbAt4.png

Damn karma limits. So close, yet so far.

Well, maybe 35 more generous people will donate their upvote to you this April Fools Holiday so, you too, can pick whatever damn header color you like. Happy Holidays! (I already donated my upvote to The Cause.)

Hahaha, this made me laugh.. My good deed for the day has been upvoting a comment to allow someone to change their hackernews header colour. It's taking me a while to parse this event.. I'm going to turn off the laptop and go get a drink now. Maybe two. Damn you internets! What have I become!

I have finally found a good use for April Fools: Advocating silly behavior on HN of a sort that normally gets frowned upon.

That actually does square the circle.
