What and Who

Hi, starting from OldTwitter 1.7.4 limited amount of users will be able to style their profile with CSS and everyone (70,000+ users) will be able to see their style!!

Now first question would be who's included in this limited amount, and here's the answer:

• My friends
• Extension contributors
• Extension translators
• Donators
• You'll also get access if I somehow found your profile and thought you're cool :3

Easiest way to get this is obviously donating, starting from $3 tier on my Patreon you will be able to get this, just message me your Twitter profile link on Patreon after subscribing!

If you want to get access without being a patron, you can help translating or contribute to code.

Why

Why is this limited?

First off, is to give incentive to donate or anyhow support the extension, it's a huge work to do. I also can't make this public because I won't be able to easily moderate people's styles.

Why is this a thing?

Because it's cool. Old internet encouraged styling your profile and being creative, nowadays every popular social media took this option from users, everything is bland, boring and corporate.

I understand that not everyone will like this, which is why you can disable profile styles in settings ("Disable profile customizations" option).

How

If you got access to this, here's some tips and rules:

• Do not publish eye-bleeding or anyhow deceiving styles, your access will be removed for doing so
• Your CSS will override local CSS (and variables) user has set.
• You can only use i.imgur.com for image urls.
• For fonts you can use fonts.googleapis.com (Google Fonts) and fonts from here. If there's no font you'd like, you can ask me and i'll add to the list.
• It's heavily discouraged to have bright styles for dark mode. You can use dark styles for light mode though.
• To target specific mode, body tag has .body-dark, .body-pitch-black (pitch black mode also has .body-dark) and .body-light classes.
• Please test your CSS on both light and dark modes. Most people forget to test it on both for some reason.

That's all! Thank you for reading.
