It's not the most fancy thing out there, but if you're still using ChatGPT 3.5 and are looking for something a little different, why not give GPThemes a try? It's a free and open-source browser extension for Chrome and Firefox (Desktop and Android) that'll give your ChatGPT website a fresh new look.

WHAT AWAITS YOU:

Modern themes: Light, Dark, and Black (AMOLED) for a stylish and more visually appealing experience.
Effortless theme switching: Change themes on the fly with a single click using floating button. Well, fine, Mr. Nitpicker, technically it's a two-click saga 🥲
Chat bubbles: Modern and sleek conversation design that clearly differentiate your messages from the AI's responses
Clean and spacious layout: No more feeling cramped, just generous spacing and clean lines for smooth chat sessions.
Subtle animations: Enjoy a touch of elegance with subtle animations that enhance readability and flow.

⌛SOON: Custom theming to personalize your chat experience with your chosen accent color, adding a unique touch to your conversations. See the live preview as you're selecting your perfect hue via colorpicker.

SAFE AND TRANSPARENT:

GPThemes requests two permissions:
- Storage: To remember your chosen theme across all ChatGPT pages.
- Access to chat.openai.com (old) and chatgpt.com (new) domain: To modify the website's appearance within ChatGPT.
Open-source code: You can see exactly what GPThemes does.

All right, I'll correct you because you're wrong.

What bothers me is an open source tool enhancing a proprietary service which by its very nature breaks open source licensing and in face copyright protections of all sorts across the entire internet.

I'm here on Lemmy because I liked RIF and RES.
Reddit, the proprietary platform, made those pieces of software obsolete, and not in a good way.

I'm pretty sure open source software can extend closed license, proprietary even obfuscated software. That's the cool thing about open source.

It's just... Whether it's worth the effort to hang your hat on proprietary software.... That bit quite a few 3rd party Reddit apps in the ass
