AO3: Skin Switcher

Tired of navigating to your skins page every time you want to switch themes? This script lets you change site skins from anywhere on AO3 without leaving the page — and adds sorting, filtering, searching, and pinning to your skins page so it's easier to manage.

  • Skin Switcher 🎨 – switch skins from anywhere via the header menu.
    • 🆕 Search and pin your favorite skins right in the popup!
  • Skins Organizer 🗂️ – sort, filter, search, and pin skins on your skins page.
  • Both features are independent — use one or both.

✨ Features

🎨 Skin Switcher (Popup Menu)

  • Normal mode: Switch skins by picking from your usable (non-parent) skins. Skins are sorted alphabetically.
  • Edit mode: Click a skin to view its edit page. Skins are sorted by last modified.
  • Search: Search your skin list by name right inside the popup. Supports search operators (see Skin Organizer section).
  • Pin favorites: Pin frequently-used skins to the top for instant access.
  • Home button: Go to the site skins page.

🗂️ Skin Organizer

NEW: Thank you to autocompleted for allowing me to merge in features from the amazing Skin Organizer script. Note that Skin Organizer has been integrated into this script and is no longer needed.

  • Sort: Order your skins by date updated, date created, or title — ascending or descending.
  • Filter: Narrow the list by name, whether a skin is currently in use, has a description, or is a parent skin.
  • Pin to top: Keep your go-to skins pinned at the top of the page.
  • Site and work skins: The tools work on both (the "in use" and "parent skin" filters apply to site skins only).
  • Search operators: Filter by name using * (any characters), "" (exact phrase), space or AND (all terms), || or OR (either), - or NOT (exclude).

⚙️ How to Use

⚠️ Important for Chromium-based browsers: If you're using Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, or Microsoft Edge on PC, an extra activation step is required. Follow these instructions.. For the Tampermonkey iOS app, see this video.

  1. Install with a userscript manager:
  2. Click Userscripts → Skin Switcher in the header to bring up the menu, then select the skin you want.
  3. To sort, filter, or pin your skins, just visit your skins page — the organizing tools appear there automatically.
