How does top colors work? Where can you set the colors?
- solipsist 16y agoYou need to reach a certain threshold before you can use Top Colors. I think it maybe 500 karma points, but don't take my word for that. When you do get the feature, you can go to settings and enter a hexadecimal entry for topcolor. The banner on every page of HN (except in Add Comment) will then change from the default orange to the color you specified.
- pluies 16y agoThe threshold is indeed a bit lower than that; I have topcolor with 296 karma.
- solipsist 16y agoOk, thanks for pointing this out. It may be a 250 karma threshold, although we can't know for sure as it is always changing (due to inflation from new users): http://www.jacquesmattheij.com/The+Unofficial+HN+FAQ#cantdownvote http://www.jacquesmattheij.com/The+Unofficial+HN+FAQ#cantdow...
- hugh3 16y agoAm I right in thinking that the page of topcolors is a list of the topcolors that some account is currently using? (I just set my topcolor to b000b5 because I am incredibly easily amused.)
