Arc Boosts | How to make any site match your theme

One weekend, Andrzej had an idea: what if any website could be responsive to your theme colors in Arc? Then, he just built it. For web developers or just the curious ones, here's a quick how to for creating Boosts inside Arc to make a site of your choosing use your theme colors.

Pretty sick! I kinda wondered -- would the reverse be possible? The browser takes on the colors of websites you're on.

Once people realize the depth of this rabbit hole, their minds will be blown.

The statement "you control the internet and you can do whatever you want" is prescient.

I'm so excited for the windows release

[hujth]

WOW amazing feature! The future is custom tailored sites and Arc is leading the way

[argylleagen]

Oh trust me mate, it can be used for a lot more than changing colors

[shayanmz]

How do you get access to that colour palette?? It doesn't work/update dynamically when I try with those vars.

How do I get Lightning-folders for my Dev Sites ⚡It looks so cool!

[camdynrasque]

Is there a way to edit boosts once they've already been created?

[trollfred]

Is it possible to achieve glassmorphism effect for the web page background like the rest of the UI?

[t.p]

When will this feature be released to windows?

[spinneraz]

This seems to be a thing i a past or how do it do this kind of color sheming nowdays?

[Stan_sprinkle]

How do you load a Boost again after you’ve created it? Can’t figure that out.

[vladimirjanout]

Is there a way how to transform bookmarklets into Boosts? I don't really need to transform the page. I'd just like to parse some data out of the page I am currently on and do a little bit of a javascript transformation and open a new tab.

[jamestaber-zl]

is there a way to make this affect all websites

[drewirvine]

Can you change a site back to its original form if you don't want the boost anymore?

[GiuseppeV]

Hey could someone teach me how to do this in boosts 2.0?

[levivulan]

why there didn't work on window ？

[hilmiarkan]

how do you open that webcam on arc? do you use video conf?

[MaitreTrent]

Hey,
Are you not afraid theses info might be used for fingerprinting users? I mean, if I can get in Javascript the user theme of a Arc user, I can for sure follow this exact same user over multiple website, even if the user change of IP. That might be a little dangerous.

Maybe would it be better to keep this exact same system BUT make the javascript ignorant of the --arc variables via getPropertyValue AND ALSO by getComputedStyle?

I've sent a more complete feedback with more details in Arc Feedbacks.
