This new design looks so much cleaner and polished. As a huge fan of the catppuccin theme, I really enjoy the newly added Tokyo Night theme.

Sorry for the possibly dumb question, but there are themes?? Where?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

upper right corner below your username click the little gear icon next to the federation icon. should show themes, font size and a large list of things you can change.

That same gear is also accessible from the hamburger menu in the top left, at least on mobile.

Yeah, the design update rocks! Mobile experience is much better as well.
The new theme is 10/10.

Well done everyone.

Wow I really like the color of the new theme, I somehow missed it got added. On top of that though, I'm thrilled it seems to play nice with my magazine's css.

I got curious so I checked out m/railgun. That's the first real skinned magazine I've seen! The previous ones I saw only had a tiled background image. The orange pops even more with Tokyo Night. Great job!

is there a way to hide random posts/threads, active people on the sidebar?

There's just so much bloat.

There's poster information on every post, magazine info on every post. If people want to, they can navigate there easily from links in post info below the submission. It's very cluttered on mobile.

Kbin enhancemebt script allows you to hide random.
May be you can find another script for active people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, great improvements overall. I have been able to turn off almost all my added userscripts and userstyles. Really enjoying the Tokyo Night theme as well.

It looks and feels a lot better! Merely a couple weeks after /kbin blew up, I can't wait to see what it'll be like in a year! The PWA doesn't autorotate on Android anymore, and it has a new icon to go with. Those two alone are very big improvements.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's a really great improvement, especially the new theme! Still getting a grip on everything that changed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn’t know the themes had names. I just switched to the purple one and I really like it! I would be using the blue instead, but the color of text isn’t as easy to see for me.

I’m also really grateful I can increase the font size without it bleeding off the side of the screen now!

Well done, Kbin team!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t think the names appear on mobile - but mouseover reveals them on desktop

I lost the click to show a bigger image preview when viewing the main pages. Now clicking on the image takes me into the main thread and I have to click the image again to enlarge it.

I tried with auto preview on but then it loads ALL thumbnail images. I just want to click on one to expand occasionally. Can I do that?

I’m on mobile site, iOS. Thanks.

Use Kbin Usability Pack. takes care of that and more. highly recommended

It's a bit broken atm though, page selector on a thread is not visible anymore
edit: update your scripts!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

RES style, that would be nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know it's going to be small on mobile, but if you click the image icon on the main feed beside the "X comments" link, it'll still show you the image without loading in the full thread.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks! I just saw that. I will try to not mash the screen too much. ;)

For the developers: that icon is tiny and like the furtherest position from my thumb on mobile. Makes it very hard to click and disrupts the flow hugely.

There’s a preferred language setting now too. A bunch of stuff Ernest posted a link to his GitHub and says he’ll summarize soon. Lots of good updates.
