Hacker News Restyled
I just noticed the new design (and I like it), is this going to remain?
- serkanyersen 15y agoI don't see a new design. You should add a screenshot.

- serkanyersen 15y agoI guess my browser cached it. thanks
- nazar 15y agoanyone knows the reason?
- Mz 15y agoI assume you mean the Xmas theme: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3389607 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3389607
- conductor 15y agoYes, I hadn't noticed that discussion, thank you. And yes, your word "theme" is more correct than what I said (design).
- conductor 15y agoBy the way, speaking of design, does anybody know, why HN still uses old HTML4 elements like <center> and <font>? Too conservative I think! I am for cutting edge HTML5/CSS3 slick design for HN!
- Mz 15y agoMy general understanding: HN is a side project which does have a business purpose for Y-combinator in that they require applicants to have an HN account (and if you don't have one, you have to create one to fill out the application) and Paul Graham (if not others) will check your comments/make a mental note if they recognize you/some such when reading through your application. However, since it doesn't directly make money and is a free service (with a much, much larger membership than just the YC applicants), it gets whatever time and energy Paul Graham can spare. So restyling it is not a high priority. There are a number of "themes" which have been written by members that you can add on top of it, if you care to. For example: http://blog.vezquex.com/dark-and-wide-user-style-for-hacker-news?do-not-kill http://blog.vezquex.com/dark-and-wide-user-style-for-hacker-... You can always search the site for others to find something you like (or write your own if you have such skills). But I get the impression that HN itself is unlikely to be overhauled any time soon in that regard.
- conductor 15y agoWell, that would explain of course, thank you for your theory and the link.
