Pretty LWN (unofficial)

An unofficial, cleaner theme for LWN.net — modern fonts, a tidy reading layout, and dark mode.

Pretty LWN restyles LWN.net into a cleaner, more readable interface inspired by the classic Hacker News look without changing any of the content. Features: • Front page and section listings reformatted as a compact, scannable article list • Hide paid articles and collapse comments by default, with simple toggles • A refreshed layout in Verdana with a calm beige background and a pleasant green accent • Weekly Edition entries highlighted so they're easy to spot • A collapsible sidebar and a one-click light/dark mode toggle • Tidied-up Search, Security, Archives, and Subscribe pages • Click the toolbar icon any time to turn the theme off and see plain LWN Privacy: Pretty LWN runs entirely in your browser. It collects no data, sends nothing to any server, and requests no permissions beyond running on lwn.net. Your preferences are kept locally. This is an independent, unofficial project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Eklektix, Inc. or LWN.net. "LWN" and "LWN.net" are the property of their respective owners.
