I'm not sure choosing a color scheme for your CSS is really 'building' anything.

• userbinator 7y ago
  I remember using a forum software on a site long ago (around the late 90s/early 2000s timeframe) where one of the options in the user preferences page let you adjust the colours of various things --- and not as in "pick from these limited choices", but as in "enter the CSS colour value, either a name or #hex", and I believe it saved them for every user since you'd only see them when logged in. Does anyone else remember what that could be?

    Color customization was popular, hard to say

  It could be a major undertaking for a sufficiently complex site like Stackoverflow, just like the article illustrates, because there just so many UI elements to re-color.

    Thinking that choosing colors is a major undertaking is one of the most preposterous things I've read in here in a long time. Everything in this article should take a morning at most. People need to stop pretending trivial things are difficult just because they want to write a blog post.

      Design is an actual discipline that people work hard at to produce the results that they do. Colors are a core aspect to UI design.

        It is true But not 100% in this case They just recoloured something that already existed Design must also account for spacing, layout, positioning and emphasizing things, according to the colour scheme
