Reddit / Lest

A replacement backend implementing a similar API contract.

Reddit is trying desperately to kill third party applications and in the process its own community. You can read more about it here. This proposal makes only two assumptions.

1. Reddit has taken for granted that which got it where it is.
2. Reddit is replaceable.

Reddit is massive in terms of scale, but not in terms of complexity. So, it can be replaced, but maybe not practically. I made this post on /r/technology a week ago, and it got some traction. Since then, I have received several emails and offers of labor and funding.

When Windows is left to decorate the title bar, it can look undesirable, and there is no way to readily change it in the way I wanted. So based on a few sources, I've come up with the following solution.

In my case, the issue was the title bar for emacs, but it is the case for many applications.

These steps will allow the continued use of accent color, but set the title bar to a color of your choice.

Steps

1. Set the accent color in the Personalization > Colors interface to the color you want the title bar.
2. Under "Show the accent color on the following surfaces", select "Title bars and window borders"
