Retro Y2K Theme

Staring at the same pages all day for SEO work does get grey after a while. Does the Windows 98 skin break sites built on heavy CSS grid?
Retro Y2K Theme
@yelyzaveta_kibets Hey, thanks (; No, it shouldn't break heavy grids. The extension only changes the "paint" (colors, typography, borders) and ignores structural properties like display or position. So your layout stays intact. Plus, you can instantly pause it with Alt+Shift+Y.

@cepeshrc Paint only and a pause shortcut is exactly the answer I wanted. Alt Shift Y is the bit that would keep it installed for me.
the hard part of any restyle everything extension isnt the aesthetic, its that the modern web has no stable hooks left. class names are compiled hashes that change on every deploy, so a rule written against one today is dead next week and it dies silently, the page just looks slightly wrong rather than throwing anything. ive spent a good part of today watching selectors rot on one site, and thats a single site i was actively looking at. i would push hard on styling by role instead of by class wherever you can, button, nav, input, aria roles, anything semantic, becuase that survives redeploys in a way that class targeting never does. the other one id watch is that a lot of sites now ship their own dark mode, and a theme layered over an already dark palette is where contrast quietly falls apart. worth asking, what does it do on a site that already has a strong opinion, and does the chrome store permission read as read and change all your data on all websites? thats the sentence that costs installs, and its worth pre-empting on your store listing rather than letting it be the first thing someone reads.
Retro Y2K Theme
@rabnoor_s Spot on! The hashed class problem is exactly why RawY2K completely ignores classes. We aggressively target bare semantic tags (button, input, a, table) with !important resets, basically treating the modern web like raw HTML. For dark mode, we forcefully override backgrounds and text colors globally, so native themes just get paved over.
And you are 100% right about the permission warning. Adding a transparent explanation to the Chrome Web Store listing today. Thanks for the solid feedback!
this is the kind of thing I didn't know I needed until I saw the dial-up connecting screen lol, genuinely made me laugh. one thing I'd ask - do the animated bits (marquee banner, starfield background, scanlines) respect prefers-reduced-motion? I get a bit queasy on pages with constant motion and would love to keep the retro cursors and Windows 98 UI but switch off anything that moves.
