A while back we added the ability to theme 23 accounts. It’s easy: You can choose between some basic colour variations on the standard 23 design, or you can add you own personal touch by CSS designing your profile to your heart’s content.

I’ve seen a few very radical themes over the past month or two, but it seems that people have gotten over the initial urge to go all out and redesign everything. Instead users have started to post moderately improved variations of 23. Take for example these accounts:

23hq.com/mach

23hq.com/andjohan

23hq.com/Volker

(And then, of course, there’s my own variation, which is currently a copy of Mach’s styling coupled with an enhanced buddy icon — just for the sake of narcissism.)

Inspired by these developments, we’ve just added a “Steal this theme” link in the bottom right corner of every user’s page. This should give anyone a starting point for their own expression. Now, the only thing left is for you guys to use this weekend to hack your very own personality right into your 23 profile…

Over the summer we’ll be adding more standard themes to 23, and we’d love to be inspired from the users. So when you’re done playing with the CSS, post a comment here and direct us to your profile…
