The first wave of CSS tweaks are complete.
I was getting a bit bored (no surprise there) so wanted to mix things up a little bit. Cue user selected colour themes:
Choosing an option from the menu simply sets a key-value pair in the browser's local storage. Before the page loads, a quick bit of JavaScript checks this value and sets a page level data value:
<html lang="en-GB" data-theme="blue">The CSS then loads the right colours:
:root[data-theme="blue"] {
...
}
The theme affects the title bar, bottom bar, icons, menu and comments panel. Nothing drastic, but adds a little personality.
Oh, and the choice persists between browser sessions.
