Reddit gets a makeover

Jacob Foster11 said:Alright, I brightened up the background just a tiny bit so it isn't pitch black anymore—that way you can actually see the moderators' usernames. 😛

Here’s how it looks:

I'm really not feeling this muddy gray version, though; I think I'll just stick with the black background. Mods, don't take it personally—but starting today, you guys are officially invisible to me. 😁

Look, I totally respect the hustle and the effort put into this, I really do, but man, this is hands down one of the tackiest things I’ve ever laid eyes on. 🙏

Honestly, looking at this color scheme gives me major flashbacks to those clunky DOS programs we used to run back in the late nineties. 😬

I put work into it. 😁

That was actually the point—mimicking an old-school terminal style. Lime green text on a black background. It's one of my favorite aesthetics. 😉

I just whipped this up quickly to prove you can actually change the look of a Reddit community. Everyone should just customize their own theme however they want...

I guess you could say you have a sort of "ignore" list, but as far as mods go... 😁
Since you can't actually put them on an ignore list like any other user.

I tried doing that to someone about two years ago, but I couldn't make it work. 🙈

This color palette reminds me of those old DOS programs from nearly 20 years ago. 😬

Aside from looking like DOS, it also looks like some old phpBB layout. 😁

Jacob Foster11 said:Oh, you want me to prove it? 😁

Is it going to hurt?

Jacob Foster11 said:I really gave it my best shot. 😁

That was actually the whole point—I wanted that old-school terminal vibe. You know, that classic neon green text on a pitch-black background? It’s honestly one of my favorite looks. 😉

I guess I just put this together pretty quickly to show that customizing the look of a site like Reddit is totally doable. Everyone should probably just tweak the colors (or the whole layout, really) to suit their own taste...

Nothing beats the original; this is definitely the most aesthetic version. 🙏

It might just be the perfect color combo. 🙏
