Customize Your PF: Changing Site Color in MY PF

AI Thread Summary
There is currently no built-in option to change the site color in "MY PF." Users can utilize browser plugins like "Stylish" for Firefox and Chrome or "Stylebot" for Chrome to customize the appearance of websites. This requires some basic CSS knowledge and effort to achieve a visually appealing style. The discussion also touches on the New Jersey Devils as a color inspiration. Overall, while customization is possible through external tools, it is not straightforward within the site's native settings.

Is there an option to change the colour of the site by customizing it?

Where is that option in "MY PF"?

There isn't an option, but I am curious what color you'd pick :)
 
Of the Devils, but of course...

Go Devils!
:-)

I don't know what this means, but ok :)
 
There are plugins for browsers where you can change websites (css, JS, ...) for you locally. Just needs basic css knowledge, but it is a lot of effort to get a new style to look nice.

The colours of New Jersey Devils.

@mfb do you have a guide you recommend me to use?

I don't have the time right now to learn this stuff, maybe in the future.
 
Depends on your browser. "Stylish" is an add-on that works for Firefox and Chrome, "Stylebot" is for Chrome, other browsers can have similar tools.

The basic idea: The website style is defined with a css file (https://www.physicsforums.com/css.php?css=xenforo,form,public&style=10&dir=LTR&d=1485078905), and you can locally set up your own css file to override things defined there.
