The colour is actually the same as your HN colour that you can set in your settings page.
Making read comments a lighter shade of grey would, unfortunately, not go well with how HN handles comments with <= 0 score.
If you have any more ideas please share them, I know this isn't the optimal solution right now, but I can't find anything better ...
- chapel 16y agoI would just make it a lighter shade, but not as light as a <= 0 score comment. Those happen to be hard to read. Maybe you could give the option for the user to set their own CSS values for read and unread.
- CWIZO 16y agoMaybe I'll make it so that you can configure it, yes. So you'll be able to set the colour of the font and select whether you wish for a box to appear around unread comments.
- wvl 16y agoI've been using a simple left border to highlight new comments in my extension (http://hckrnews.com/about.html http://hckrnews.com/about.html), and I've found it works pretty well at highlighting new comments without being too obtrusive.
