Pint for GitHub Extension

GitHub's personalisation options are a bit lacking, and staring at the same bland dark color scheme can make you wonder, what if there's more.

Pint for GitHub resolves that by providing you control over the way GitHub looks like. Did I mention it's free and OSS?

Features:
- Complete control of personalisation of every element.
- With the right settings, you can also achieve light theme too.
- Quickly paint groups of colors with the Group Painter.
- Quickly paint the entire site with the Update All button.
- Individual control of every possible element (change the color of any individual element without affecting the rest)
- Suggest colors that match the color you picked.
- Custom CSS to modify each button to each div just the way you like it.
- Free and Open-source and will always be.
