I think it’s a good idea that we can assign a class for a body based on category name or something like that. In that way, we can customize each category to have a difference styling.
I know not everyone needs this, but it’d be nice to have.

Yes please! For example, on the BBS, you could add a customization like this:
```css
/* 'GAMES' CATEGORY SELECTOR HERE*/ article[data-user-id="3296"] {
background: url("
");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
/* 'GAMES' CATEGORY SELECTOR HERE*/ article[data-user-id="6769"] {
background: url("");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
```
In order to give a special styling to Donald\_Petersen’s and Jonas\_Eggeater’s posts.

hi @riking is this still an idea that we should consider working on. i don’t know if it’s good enough to do what I said in the first post which is adding category name to html element.
