How To Change Your Facebook, Google Plus, Yahoo Theme !

Recently over 500 million users have joined Facebook, whereas around 10 million people have been welcomed by Google Plus since its launch.

Nowadays joining a social networking site is not only deemed the status quo, but it also allows users to find and stay connected with their friends, family and colleagues. Facebook, the social networking giant who holds the greater number of users on the internet, provides different types of applications and recently FB came out swinging full force against its competitor ( Google Plus ) by launching its new privacy features which rival those of Google Plus.

Amidst all of this ongoing hoopla that has been presiding amongst both rivaling Social Network Giants and the race in which will emerge as the winner of the social network game , there were several Developers on G+ who had begun creating various extensions which basically allowed modification of the G+ UI and overall design .

This allowed for easier readability and usability as well as enhancing and improving the stark white design of G+ . Users were implementing every extension which offered some type of improvement towards their G+ profile design . However, most of those extensions became buggy and broke every other day since Google continually kept upgrading and making changes to its UI . Thus , this left many users disheartened at having to part with the modified versions of their G+ design.

Wouldnt it be great however if users could ‘ theme ‘ or change the overall design of every site across the web, without having to lose those modification each and every time a network made upgrades ?
To be able to skin or theme G+ , Youtube , Twitter , Yahoo , Google and yes – even the standard white and blue design of Facebook !

There is now a way by which to modify and theme ( skin ) any site across the web without losing those customization features every time upgrades occur. Gone are the days when one gets bored with the default look of Facebook, Yahoo, Google Search Engine Page, YouTube profile, Google Plus and many more.

Once a user clicks on this, a new tab will open to the UserStyles site where you will be presented with the skins ( themes ) according to the particular Profile you wish to skin or modify .

Users can simply manage their themes as well by right clicking on ‘S’ button and by clicking on options. Stylish allows users to change ( edit ) the code and can perform various modifications within the CSS, and thus if one is adept at CSS they can alter basically everything if they dont like the way certain things look , though the Edit options.

Users have to keep in mind that they will be the only ones who will be able to see these changes and no one else since these changes only take place within your own Browser. Unless another web user has the same style installed , they will only see the Default style of that particular site or profile . Enjoy !
