Styling the Sift (updated)
I've blogged about how you can restyle VideoSift.com using FireFox and either the addon Stylish or GreaseMonkey a couple of days ago. Since then I've made a few more versions sporting different colors.
Update: I've worked out some of the problems with the Dark Style. I've also added to all of the styles to make them work in conjunction with my InvoMerge script (screenshot).
VideoSift Blue
Get VideoSift Blue here
VideoSift Dark
Get VideoSift Dark here
VideoSift Pink
Get VideoSift Pink here
VideoSift Green
Get VideoSift Green here
One word about the dark theme: I had to "tone down" the charter comment background colors, because they were too bright for the dark theme. I didn't want to sacrifice the individual backgrounds, so I tried to achieve the best of both worlds.
Enjoy!

only thing that bugs me about the dark one is the videosift logo at the top looking choppy with white background... otherwise... AWESOME

rottenseedyou really are campionidelinternetz
mauz15The Dark theme is awesome. Thank you!
deputydogbrilliant. i just installed the dark theme and my eyeballs wept with joy.
burdturglerThat dark theme is too good. Now I'm off to grease my monkey.
mauz15Hmm, wait a minute. In the dark theme, the font of the video descriptions is still black.
Not when it appears on the front page and queue page, but when you go to the page of the video.
burdturglerYah, summary text is black on black background.
campionidelmondoOk I missed the summary post font color, but it's fixed now. You just have to re-download it. Sorry about that.
burdturglerAwesome. Thank you!
EklekThanks a lot, my eyes instantaneously approved the dark CSS!:)
Small requests to lucky/campionidelmundo: indeed, a less choppy VS logo would be better and could the links in the profile text + the dark/fear channel + links below posts (the "Description and information about your video" part) be made visible somehow (e.g. bolder, brighter/darker)?
EklekWhat a coincidence:
GMAIL:
New! Colours and themes
Go to the Themes tab in Settings to personalise the look and feel of your inbox or return to the classic look.
For now I like "shiny"
Farhad2000Oh thank you thank you thank you. I wanted this since for Effin' ever.

burdturglerIt's true what they say. Once you go dark ...

Holy smokes, VideoSift dark is hot - I have to admit. We just need to fix the jaggies on the logo.
You do great work Campion!
Farhad2000I petition to make these an official part of the website! Default being the black one obviously.
This is really a great addition to the site.

paul4dirtgreat work, wow!

great work, wow!
rougyThe dark is very well done.
I tried to find a place where I could learn how to do this.
I understand CSS & JavaScript pretty well, but I didn't quite understand what you were doing with one function that was never called.
I guess it's called automatically.
