New Lemmy admin here. I found the Theming Guide in the Lemmy docs, but it jumps directly to the 'After a theme is added' section without explaining how to add or create themes. I've searched for examples but couldn't find any configuration that includes these details.
I found hanubeki-lemmy-themes, which actually contains some good themes. However, when I copied the 5
folder to my extra_theme
folder, nothing happened. Can someone guide me on how to add these themes to my instance?
Update:
You should put all your css file in the extra_themes
folder, each .css
is a theme. For hanubeki-lemmy-themes I put all the dist
and src
files in extra_themes
and it works. I already done this before, but my browser was [caching lemmy-ui static files for 24 hours], so when I delete the cache it just works.
Thank you Sami, it was a cash problem, I updated the post with more details
I tried putting all the css files, but nothing works. Should I put them together in one file? Or is each file a single theme?
I set the
LEMMY_UI_EXTRA_THEMES_FOLDER
environment variable to/app/extra_themes
then volume myextra_theme
to it, which isIs this right?
That looks correct to me. Try doing a Ctrl+F5 on the theme selection page in settings for it to show up in the dropdown if you haven't done that.
Thanks Sami, it was a cache issue, I've updated the post with more details
I'll try that, hope it works, thank you
