We've often said that the designs of some pages could use adjustments. From Twitter to Facebook, through YouTube and Wikipedia, the lack of customization confirms that the Web isn't always as flexible and dynamic as we'd like. However, there are alternatives like Stylish, which lets us install thousands of different themes on the most popular sites. Most focus on aesthetic details, but if the idea is to inject a bit of color and animation, this will serve you well.
From the era of poke commands for the Commodore 64 to current Windows themes and animated wallpapers, users have always sought some level of customization. The default appearance of an operating system or a web page might be acceptable in most cases (an argument similar to what Microsoft uses to... take things away from us), but if you're thinking about changing a web page, there are actually some options within your reach. One of the most interesting is Stylish, which splits into extensions for Chrome/Firefox and a site packed with themes.
How to customize any web page with Stylish
It's all about installing the right extension for your browser and exploring the offerings on userstyles.org. Now, it's also worth noting that Stylish has two free modes and one premium mode. The first free mode is without registration, which allows installing at most one theme. Creating an account raises that limit to three themes, and the premium mode (USD 12.99 per year or 3.99 per month) removes that restriction entirely.
In the left section of the Stylish portal, you can find shortcuts for themes chosen by the editor, the most popular ones, and those recently updated. This aspect is very important: Web pages don't stay still, and a theme that works perfectly today can appear broken tomorrow.
That effect is immediately visible because some themes have gone years without updates. Icons in wrong positions and transparency problems are common in those semi-abandoned themes, but when they work well, they're a marvel. Google, YouTube, Facebook, Roblox, Twitter, and even Netflix have dedicated categories. One of the themes even displays the message: 'I heard you like Retrowave, so I put more Retrowave on your Retrowave.'
In summary, Stylish is one of the most robust options for customizing any web page, and the list of available themes is just the tip of the iceberg. Inevitably, this will lead you to explore the possibility of creating your own themes, and the official site already has some resources.
