Jason Hall (ID: 000000147ef21238) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/25/2023 Doesn't seem to work on Wikipedia these days - only changes the areas directly behind text. Too bad, it looked awesome!

Peter Mello (ID: 0000009eacdcba6d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/28/2021 Oh man, if you had coded this to support the Timeless skin too, I would've given you fifteen stars and a lot more than a cup of coffee. Really solid adaptation of the Solarized palette for the Vector skin, but I just can't work with that skin as someone who does a lot of editing on English Wikipedia.

Coldwinter (ID: 00000040c976ebe9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/21/2020 It'd perfect if it somehow changed the color of math latex formulas (they don't since they're png). But it has a great color palette
