I’m sure I am not the first one to suggest this, but wouldn’t it be nice for a user to be able personally customize how the forum looks for them. Just to be clear, this wouldn’t change the look of the forum for everyone, only for yourself.

> Continuing the discussion from [What about an easier styling/theming system?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-about-an-easier-styling-theming-system/12346): Will your theming system support showing different themes for different users?
