Thanks.
I made the top bar white, and it really makes everything dramatically cleaner looking.

I'm very color blind and have been told my designs are "a bit ugly." Therefore, I think I'll stick with orange (it is orange isn't it?).
Yes, it's orange.
Got a Mac? Grab this: http://color-decoder.en.softonic.com/mac
A buddy of mine that's color blind uses it all the time now. He showed it to me some time ago... I bookmarked.

#3399ff looks great

I have ffbb22 going on, but I think my color selections are questionable. Can anyone confirm this? :)
Indeed, they are questionable. :)
nice
Why would anyone want the top bar to not be orange?
just for jokes! :P
This is quite a clever way to reward users.
You're welcome!

A clever feature would be to evaluate the brightness of the color and swap the text color to white if it's a dark color. A black bar with white text would look swanky on Halloween.
#FFFFFF all the way
I'm offended by your #FFFFFF supremacist views.
#FFFFFFey always be keepin' the #000000 man down!
eeeeee
Can everyone mod this up so I can reach 250? (I only need 20 more)
Please ...

Perhaps you should have phrased your request in smartass form.
you mean 'your request'.
You should learn how to properly capitalize your words, and that quotation marks come after periods.
Oh, I am closet spelling and grammar nazi myself. I just wish I could edit posts for longer - since English is not my first language I can seldom spare the concentration needed for flawless writing.
The quote-after-period thing is a rule I deliberately break. I dun like it. It's just not me.
Yeah, I run red lights because I dun like them. They're just not me.
Yeah, I hate it when I reorder my quotes and periods and people get killed. No, wait... I don't think that's really a good analogy.
Actually in England the rule is the other way around. It is arguably more consistent.
I've noticed that, over time, programmers (including myself) tend to break some punctuation rules. I guess it's because we don't write:
char *foo = "bar;"
char *foo = "bar;"
The convention in question is actually a technique American typesetters used to keep track of the punctuation. It doesn't exist because it makes sense, but because of a trick of the trade.
Serves me right.

WOOT! 888888
Thanks! PG, can you let us customize the whole CSS?
(That will help people who can't use Firefox at their day job / all computers that they log in will have same YCN style)
Also you may want to give this facility to everyone and give something else to us 200+ers... May be 5 down votes that we can use on submissions per month...

I'd rather pg working more on essays or other features than on something like that.
Isn't the point of CSS that people can customize it in their browsers anyway?
Another idea: create a proxy that modifies the CSS, then all your computers could go through that proxy for your modified version of news.yc.
With Firefox, also check out Greasemoney.

It has been a long time since we got an essay from him, yes.
BTW, I was just speaking for people with day job who can't use Firefox. Anyway, proxy should work in that case.

I would posit that excellence in journalism is achieved when releases are scheduled not with the passage of time but with the need to say something.
I imagine we'll hear from pg when he has something to say. And I'm sure we'll be ready to listen.
