Match the Facebook layout to the task
People use Facebook differently from session to session. One visit may be a quick scan of friends and groups; another may involve reading a long discussion, checking an event, or reviewing a photo collection. The theme must preserve authorship, timestamps, privacy context, reactions, comments, and shared-post relationships. Compact density can improve scanning, but it should never make separate stories merge into one ambiguous block.
A coherent Facebook theme coordinates background, surface, text, border, accent, radius, shadow, and spacing as one system. Changing only the page background usually exposes untouched cards, inputs, menus, and selected states. SiteSkin builds a structured Skin Manifest from approved visual properties, then lets the browser extension translate semantic components into maintained CSS. The result is inspectable theme data rather than a remote script or a block of unknown selectors.
Style the whole supported Facebook interface
A site-specific skin can distinguish the main feed from left navigation, right-side contacts, story modules, comment sheets, menus, and modal dialogs. That distinction matters because a universal filter may flatten every surface into the same shade and hide the boundary around a dialog. SiteSkin uses semantic regions and approved properties to keep elevated panels, inputs, active tabs, buttons, and muted metadata readable in one visual system.
SiteSkin requests access only for a supported website when the user chooses to enable it. The Facebook adapter owns selectors and feature behavior, while the skin holds reusable design decisions. This separation matters when the website changes: selector maintenance belongs in the adapter instead of every saved theme. It also means a generated skin cannot invent a new behavior, load arbitrary code, or expand its own permissions.
Use focus controls without losing control
Users who mainly read the feed can reduce the side columns and center the primary content. A wider presentation helps long posts and comment discussions, while compact mode shows more updates on a laptop screen. The controls are optional: the same visual palette can be used with the original layout, and restoring the original Facebook presentation takes one action from the extension popup.
A responsible theme preserves audience selectors, sponsored labels, security warnings, account-switching context, reporting actions, and confirmation dialogs. SiteSkin changes local presentation only. It does not publish, react, message, join a group, alter privacy settings, or inspect private content. The adapter avoids assigning cosmetic rules to authentication and payment meaning, and every supported change remains removable.
Frequently asked questions
Does a SiteSkin Facebook theme change my account or content?+
No. The theme changes supported presentation in the local browser. Facebook remains responsible for account data, content, service logic, and transactions.
Can I restore the original Facebook design?+
Yes. Pause the active skin or choose the original-site action in the extension. Theme and focus controls are designed to be reversible.
