Some sites I have been to have a feature to change the theme of the site. Well its kind of I can change the colors theme of the site. Well it would be nice to be able to that in this site. Example : After Login in with Windows Live Id we are able to change the color theme of the site. I know this is big, but the embarrassment I feel when I open this site in front of my friends are much bigger. I dont mean this site sucks but blue, I dont like the blue, so if you make a feature like that, people who want to keep blue can keep blue and those who dont want can keep other colors suck as Black, Red and all other cool colors.

no theme changer required when you got css skillz...
Firefox + Web developer toolbar and make your own css.

It's unlikely themes will come any time in the near future.

I'm not sure whether this has been suggested before or not but I think it would be nice if we could have some optional colour themes for the website's layout. Most other forum sites have an option where you can change the colour scheme of the site in their profiles. It might be a nice. Have the current blue and white as the default and then for members, have an option in the profiles to change it. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

its been brought up before and i believe the answer was no. there is an add on for firefox that allowed for the basic colors to be changed. i'm too lazy to look but i'm sure the topic should be somewhere in the suggestions

no need to nitpick.
the forums are still a significant element and the point was about colouring not that its a forum site

I don't mean to go off-topic, but I got the impression that the color scheme of MAL was supposed to be akin to facebook's colors.

Anyway, it's a nice idea, but imagine that it be a bit of a pain to program...I'm guessing that's why this idea was shot down...

Make one then, I'd definitely join since I have a few greasemonkey scripts I've made for MAL.

I have been a member of MAL for a few weeks and still consider myself new to the site (considering I do not know how to do much on the site). But for the few weeks of MAL usage, I found the sites "look" kind of bland or old. So I thought it would be great to have themes that we could switch up how the site "looks."

Maybe you could have a selected list of anime themes users could choose from. Or maybe have some type of system like in personalizing a Myspace page (embedding codes and what not).

So, in the end, I thought it would be a great idea if we could somehow personalize MAL to our liking.
And I hope I explained as thoroughly as possible.

btw, I happen to love the look of this site, too many sites think that darker themes are a necessity, and quite frankly they hurt my eyes. if MAL had a drastically different look from its current one, I"d probably leave and never come back.

This. Mal outlook is excellent the way it is now. Also, shouldn't this be added to the FAQ? Many people is asking the same questions about layout lately.

I suggest profile color themes. It's as simple and appealing as it sounds.

If you've already thought through this idea I would appreciate it if you'd open it up for re-evaluation in your mind as it's one of the most attractive features a large online community such as MyAnimeList could have in the profile.

Just like you can change what your anime/manga list look like why not be able to change what your profiles look like as well?

With Stylish you can do many things like this, however you will be only one who see it.
Check this club. Its highly recommended if you want to change the look of the site.
(It will not look like a basic site what made in 2015 tho')

CSS for profiles or clubs would be amazing. So much could be fixed and updated with it. For example ppl have asked about adding more than the usual number of favorites or w/e for years on their profile, it could be done so easily years ago with CSS for profiles

Or at least add alternate MAL skins which you see- like a darker MAL skin instead of the snowstorm thats the default MAL look.

To make it easier on someone looking its specifically its this topic that has all the Stylish themes and instructions on how to install it (which is very simple):

It would be nice to see a feature that lets you change the Colour scheme from "blue and white" to something like "blue and black" or "black and white", etc.
Looking at the white can be headache inducing.... Or, I know it personally is, lol.

For clarification purposes, I don't mean he Lists themselves... But the Profiles, Home pages, Forums, ETC.
Sorry if this topic already has a dedicated section.

Basically a day and night theme with more options? I would rather use some extension on chrome or any other browser to cater that. In fact most sites have white background.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

I'm on board with this. I think it'd be nice if MAL offered these color schemes for the main site.

Our developers should be more consistent in their colour usage before attempting this. We have way too many different shades of blue and grey as-is.

If that ends up happening, then sure—I'm all for customisation.
