This doesn't seem to keep highlighting the arrows afre voting on meta sites; the color changes but after reload it goes away :/ p.s. my dark reader is the culprit.

@ThomA not a coincidence. I could also remove the "Welcome back" message, but not without taking away the Ask question button, which now thinking about it, maybe it's a sacrifice worth making. p.s. playing with this idea to make something better, maybe...

Thank you for this. There is only one issue as it doesn't handle the one-box links "correctly" i.sstatic.net/bpirQ.png And I actually cannot get to edit the colors. When clicking on Dark Mode for Chats on top of the page, nothing happens.

This is great. Thank you. Those questions are not even remotely relevant most of the times and removing them should be the official direction, but until then this script would be really helpful.
