Disclaimer : I am a big fan of comics ! First time when when I saw http://dev.to for some reason the style of it reminded me so so much ...

Fantastic! I'm likely to stick with my dark theme, but this seems absolutely perfect as an addition to the DEV themes. You should totally make a PR.

I second this. What a fun addition this would be! The !important tags could use some cleaning up, but it's nonetheless a cool theme.

haha yes, well the !important tags are mostly what I didn't like and the backend developer thing ;)) :D:D but I know they magically fix everything :D:D and I didn't had time to check what is actually rewriting what, so I just put them ... everywhere.. ops :))

haha :) yeah maybe this is the next step :), but there are a lot more views that needs styling ... I have styled only 2 of them :) and maybe the way how a theme is made is easier :)

Jason C. McDonald big thanks to you as well :)

Disliking or liking it, for a non-css guy, and one that says it hates it, you have achieved a lot in only 30 minutes, so congrats are in order ;)

haha thanks, actually the applying the stuff to dev.to took me around 10ish mins, I spend more time in writing the initial CSS and playing with codepen prior to moving the stuff to stylus and putting !important anywhere cuz I was angry :D:D

You can check the codepen vision here

I will actually put this in the post.

btw I was more angry to the CSS Grid... then anything else but that's a different story.
