HN Confessional: I wrote a custom theme for my server management software a few years ago that's basically just a rewrite of the stock theme's rather large CSS file. Among a little more than 1200 lines, I include `!important` 175 times. I imagine that causes hives among our more discerning front-end devs.
It looks great, specifically for me. I can't comment on anyone else, but I have to imagine it's dysfunctional. I abstracted as many color and style options as possible to allow for a lot of variable-setting. I unreservedly apologize for the affront to common decency (but I'm probably still gonna use it). Gotta have that transparent glass effect on ma' netstats.
