Counterpoint to "not practical": We have a dashboard at work that displays, amongst other things, the CI build status. For reasons I won't go into, we cannot change the HTML. We can change the CSS though, using Stylish. The "build failed" / "build succeeded" icons were incredibly non-obvious and developers weren't paying much attention to them. Now, through a series of seriously horrendous CSS hacks, they display as really nice flat design green checks and crosses. Given that this dashboard only ever displays in literally one browser, on one big screen, it was completely acceptable to use CSS hacks to achieve the look I wanted. It was sites such as this one that helped me figure out how to twist a single HTML element into what I needed.
