Telescope designer here. Curious to know how many people think the default theme is ugly? Just upvote this comment if you agree with kolev so I can find out.

Don't get offended! I abused the word "ugly", I apologize, but Telescope is unlike the minimalistic looks of Hacker News, Lobsters, Monocle (http://monocle.io/), Reddit, and Product Hunt. The looks of up/down arrows are inconsistent between homepage and comments. The buttons on the homepage on the right are too big and not modern-looking. Background of a comment and page should not differ (unless you have a fix width design - then what's beyond the fixed width is acceptable to in high contrast.

I'm not offended, thanks for the extra feedback :)

Although I do want to point out that Telescope also comes with a minimally styled base theme that was specifically made to let people customize it however they want: http://telescope-base.meteor.com/

Why not upvote kolev?

Because he will not be able to see how many upvotes that comment got then

Because most people can't see comment scores other than their own.
