How do you do this?
...Does it require a lot of effort??

You could use something like Greasemonkey (Firefox) or Tampermonkey (Chrome), if you have a little html and Javascript knowledge...

Maybe he just pressed F12 and changed it in the html for this screenshot only

that's exactly what i did

>HTML script

You can edit the HTML received by the server in your browser with developer tools in F12, or just right clicking the element you want to edit and select "Inspect element". The rest is just HTML and CSS magic.

It's useful if you want to check how some design will look like before changing it in the servers.

As a programmer, it's faster for me editing the HTML. This edit took me less than 1 minute and I didn't need to open any program, well, except for the screenshot and stuff...

now make grey versions and a quick userscript to replace them

It's not perfect I didn't want to reverse engineer the JavaScript regarding the thumb-voting, so I just made a timeout check for the comments, but it does the work. Here you go: jsfiddle.net/wjbd35mg/

The code can be added to any extension that executes some JavaScript at some desired websites.

I had to rewrite the comment. It was quite ****** up because of the FJ comment system (I didn't notice some things like the italic with the underscores in the first preview )

Somehow it only works on this content page and nowhere else...

Scratch that, i just ****** up with setting up appropriate pages

Interesting, I didn't know about that extension (I'm not too much into extensions though). It looks pretty simple and quite awesome for restyling ^^

Well, people would just need the CSS part of that JavaScript snippet, at least that's something :/

You mean like Rick Moranis? Cool!

fj markup ****** that in places
just put it on pastebin bro
