It looks like they are adding options to choose from different styles. I don't see the link yet in my account settings but this screenshot makes me think it's coming to everyone. https://twitter.com/jublonet/status/830131346798424064
For anyone considering using stylish on chrome, you should know that the latest update turned on tracking by default. It will send your current url to fetch a list of "styles for this url", but does it even when the popup isn't visible. You can check by looking at the network tab of the `background.js`.
I ended up "fixing" this by installing the Stylish extension/plugin on Chrome, then downloading a dark theme (then I went crazy and did the same with a bunch of other sites, too - including HN)...
I would say it's a mistake, but you never know. This style has been used for github enterprise to make it "differentiate" from github.com, I don't think it's a good idea to make them look the same...
The timing of this is a funny coincidence as Stack Overflow has just been rolling out their own new navigation topbar [0] to the sounds of "PLEASE, theme it dark" from their meta community. A lot of it just sounds like bikeshedding to me, but it's funny timing nonetheless.
This is why I prefer local clients to "the web". Everyone has these religious level opinions on the "right" way to style things.
I'm all about the socialized design and implementation of the pipes and tubes. When it comes to the front end, the part I'll be expected to stare at all day, that should look and behave how I see fit.
Customizable clients, with sane defaults for everything! And we'll avoid this sitting around bellyaching about personal tastes all day.

2. why is this front-page worthy? is there someone who might have missed this? is it especially important/interesting?
it's like those stupid "Github is down!" posts. i'm sure anyone who cares already knows.
who upvotes this crap?
Some people are still missing this option in their settings, but it will show up soon.
Have tried:
- https://github.com
- https://github.com/?light
Is this controlled from a setting somewhere?
if you remove it it's back to light
The stark contrast with the rest of the site hurts.
