Is it possible for me to change the color of downvoted comments?
My eyesight is not what it used to be, I know I can set the "Top Color" in preferences but would really like to change the color of down voted comments as I can barely read them and feel that this should be my choice on how well I see these, not the mob. After all, I didn't post the comment why am I being forced to strain my eyes?
I agree that the reader shouldn't be penalized for the quality of a comment's score in this way. Maybe there could be a setting that enables/disables this feature.
Not as a feature of HN, but you could apply a custom stylesheet overriding it in the browser (there also might be existing browser extensions doing that)
