When I saw the “Top bar color chooser” power-up, I immediately hoped I could bring some color into StackOverflow and make the top bar pink or rainbow-colored. So I spent a significant part of my day hurting my mouse by farming those 80 unicoins.

But then I was presented by this super disappointing selection of possible colors.

Super disappointing boring top bar colors

I believe those colors are super boring and far too dark. It feels like the StackExchange team is against happyness. So I would suggest adding a few more color schemes to it. Because just look at this fancyness:

Super fancy rainbow topbar

    Wow, does nobody really get any of the jokes? Why, oh why, did I bother coming to meta today?

    @poke I guess. I found humor in the original joke, but that was enough for me. I don't find the endless stream of meta complaints funny. shrug

I'm pretty sure this was made especially for those who wanted different colour schemes:

Could we have a colour scheme that doesn't burn my eyes?

Pretty much anything that isn't black (or just off black)

Now you have new, colourful options other than off-black!

Does dark grey look ugly? Well here's a UserScript to make the topbar a different color, the best color, black!

$('.topbar').css('background-color', 'black');

  • Actually, I think it should just be $('.topbar').css('background-color', 'black');
