Well after a discussion in the chatterbox about customising themes by CSS. I'm not sure exactly who but someone raised the idea of creating a proxy to simply insert a css tag, so I figured why not give it a go, I might even learn something (I did). (Though, its not like there is anything much to this)

The following is the result, it has:

I dont know if I will do any more to it or not, depends on how much I can come to liking my own CSS themes. Feel free to run off and improove it beyond what I could possibly do in a decade :)

To run: Just stick the script and your "style.css" file somewhere together, exec it, and you're off and proxying from port 82.
