What Hacker News says
4 sourcesSince it's my lunch break, I put together a PR: https://github.com/chowderman/Hacker95/pull/4
My CSS-fu is very basic, so it might need further tweaks to make button presses look right.
In Hacker95.css – Make Hacker News look like Windows 95Word of warning about userstyles.org: this site (as well as original "Stylish" browser extension) is in hands of some kind of PR agency that made some very questionable changes in the past and neglects this product now.
As an alternative you can post (or link) your style at https://greasyfork.org/ which newly supports Stylus user.css style format or even self-host the file somewhere (github perhaps). Seems PR is opened already: https://github.com/chowderman/Hacker95/issues/2)
