Description

I like Huginn's default frontpage (after logging into the instance), I really do. I'd like to be able to edit at least some of the page's content and CSS to make it a bit more personalized, though. Having an online editor would be nice but isn't necessary at all; being able to change a setting (under the Account drop-down, maybe) to switch to a new theme would be handy, though.

Maybe this would dovetail with issues #381 and #132 because I'd really like to set up my own dashboard that I see when logging in, and not necessary the usual Wikipedia quote about Odinn's ravens.

Research direction
Investigate the current frontpage rendering in Huginn, likely in app/views/ and the asset pipeline. Review linked issues #381 and #132 for related ideas. Consider implementing a theme setting in the user profile that loads alternative CSS and possibly partials. Look at how other Rails apps implement theming, such as using a layout switcher or CSS custom properties.
