the top navigation bar turned red from orange.

I think that is saying Merry Christmas!

Note that the numbers of the main page stories are also in alternating colors. That's a sure sign that the annual Christmas color styling for Hacker News is back. (My topcolor choice still shows as it does year round, but alternating colors for the numbered list of stories on the front page happens independently from the topcolor choice.)

Yes, just as you said.

I wonder what the most popular topcolor choices are. I'd go crazy without aaaaaa, which is highly effective in reminding me to be logged in, even on mobile browsers, etc.

Didn't you know about http://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors?

(They're not in order of popularity though.)

Eww. This is what happens when hackers try to be designers.

I thought the whole design scheme (or lack thereof) for Hacker News existed to scare off non-serious and unintelligent posters -- i.e. who both 1) care that much about eye candy and 2) are unable to set up a custom rendering in their browser.

If that's the reason it's pretty stupid..

Doh! I missed it due to my awesome dd66ff custom colored toolbar.

Where can this be changed? Is there a minimum Karma threshold?
