I'm looking to get member feedback on the design of the site.
Lemmy comes with many default core themes. Some parts of these themes are broken with dark mode. For example, upload boxes might show white if your system is set to light mode.
I want to set a decent default theme. If unaware, you can change your theme in your account settings. There are 10 different themes currently.
There are 12 different theme options:
- Browser Default
- When this is set, it uses Darkly or Litely depending on browser settings
- Browser Default Compact
- When this is set, it uses Darkly Compact or Litely Compact, depending on browser settings
- Darkly
- Darly Red
- Darkly Compact
- Darkly Pure Black
- Litely
- Litely Red
- Litely Compact
- Vaporwave Dark
- Vaporwave Light
- i386
I currently have the default set to Browser Default Compact, which should set dark or light mode depending on whether your browser is dark or light.
I use Vaporwave Dark, personally.
What do you use? Which do you prefer?
I could make something new. I tried some new ones that broke with an update. I didn't fix them after the update, so I removed them. I could create new ones again.
Let me know what you think. This is a discussion/poll on what I should do as a default.
Thanks,
Jason
I use "Darkly Red". Light themes are too bright for me. Maybe a theme that resembles old yellowish book pages would be nice. On mobile, the sidebar is hidden by default and you can see it by clicking on the button - this is a nice feature that lets you see content more centered.
That's a good idea. The light theme I made before had a yellowish tint but wasn't super noticeable. I'll keep that in mind. Perhaps it would make sense for me to make a new theme.
