I've been using a theme for MAL since I made my account. The night theme, I use it mainly because the white on white on white of MAL hurts my eyes. So I'd like to know. Do you use a theme for MAL? If so, which one do you use and why do you use it? What makes it better than other themes? This is a discussion so leave your yes or no answers in the poll and lets have a nice talk about MAL themes.

Yes, I use a theme. I used the 5cm theme with the train signals. Because it looks appealing and looks even more real life.

Yes, I'm using the Miku/Holo theme.

I use it because its colors are modest. By modest, I mean it is not too light nor too vibrant.

Use this one.
http://userstyles.org/styles/browse/myanimelist if you have Chrome then download the style first and chose the theme out of those.

I literally just googled 'stylish' and are currently looking at thousands of random google links. Are you sure there aint more steps to this guide? xD'

EDIT: Ok I get it now. The link posted above was the stylish thingie. I guess the first '5 second' one look good but I'll test out one or two and see how it goes.

Okay, maybe that was a bit vague. If you are using Chrome you download stylish https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=en then you can find nice themes here http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=7367

After I download the stylish what's next? Nothing happened to it. OMG..

Two questions.

1. Are the themes in the MAL group and stylish different?

2. After using a theme, how do I remove it?

Thanks!

Okay, I don't want this discussion to turn into a guide on using themes. Here is the official clubs guide on it. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=49283

Now, no more questions!

Meh I'll stick to the default one. I found a very nice one in the group, but sadly it screwed with the text and such so I couldn't use it properly.

I use one that had some rather larger changes to the design of MAL.

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=584935

Got used to the layout ever since. The original layout now feels very bland and boxy.

This one has so many changes you actually have to download two separate themes right?

Err. Well. You can get everything from the opening post. But uh, I did get someone's alternated script to make it look still relatively like old MAL. Too lazy to post a screenshot. The instruction should be relatively clear on the opening post.

I recommend Chrome over Firefox though.

That's looks sick. I might have to switch my theme to that. Thanks for sharing!

I found it! It really does look awesome. Thanks Tachii. :D

I'm as awesome as Tachii now. :P


The only thing that bothers me is that it pretty much removes caps. Everything is lower case.

No, because it doesn't make sense having a theme if nobody, but me, will see it.

Well most, if not all, of these themes are just styles (from stylish), so just disable the style?

I didn't even know there was such thing. *goes experimenting* It's pretty cool. But I'll most probably stick with the default one.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.
