How can I disable the christmas theme on HN?


I remember there being a setting to disable it but I can't manage to find it. I am aware that I could just visit the hn subreddit and wait until this problem passes over, but I would like to remain on this site if possible.

Thank you for your time.

I don't see any christmas theme, just different color topbar when logged off. If you are talking about topbar, you can change color in your profile under "topcolor".

When you find out, also let us know how to turn it on please.

I sent compelling evidence that Jesus wasn't actually born on December 25th to the mods, but I haven't heard back from them.

I feel validated now that I see I'm not the only person unable to read HN because of the theme change. I have worked very hard to optimize my HN experience and now that's out the window. This disregard of basic color harmony and contrast, and presenting a consistent user experience, shows how little some people know about UI/UX.
