Site theme

The site theme is the design and format of the MS Paint Adventures website. Until Homestuck, the site used a single theme, however over the course of Homestuck alternate themes were used due to events occurring in the narrative.

Scratch theme
The Scratch theme is first used in Homestuck when HS 5664 (takes over the narration) as he believes the reader " " against the green background. By default, pages using this theme are topped by a banner displaying 's apartment, however the contents of the banner change to fit the narration. Through url manipulation this theme may also be used the override the default theme in previous MS Paint Adventures and pages in Homestuck prior to its use, however pages using the default theme after the sequence ends cannot be overridden with the exception bonus pages.

SBaHJ theme

The theme uses a blue, purple, and green color scheme and changes the font of the entire page to Comic Sans. Like the Scratch theme, this can also be applied to previous pages and adventures through url manipulation but cannot be applied to later pages with the exception of bonus pages.
