An attempt to make Lemmy look better (github.com)

Reddit refugee here.

I have really started to like Lemmy and love the fact that it's free and open source, but I wasn't feeling so home with the UI, so I found nice looking style from https://userstyles.world/style/10345/lemmy-world but I personally prefer dark theme so I adjusted some colours and made the radiuses and margins bigger. I thought that maybe someone will find this useful and hence I decided to post it here. I am not a professional programmer, just a guy who likes to tinker with computers so this style may not be perfect. Critique, feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Edit: The colors are from reddit and if you want the colors to look more like the original lemmy, change the bg primary and default to hex #303030 and #222222. I really like this color scheme too

--bg-primary: #303030;
--bg-default: #222222;

Edit2: I have now made some small adjustments using the feedback and suggestion I got from you. I'm really grateful for the feedback :)

I also have now two styles, which have slightly different color scheme https://userstyles.world/user/VILPAUTOEE

Keep the feedback coming ;D Thx

How do you use these? This is pretty great.

Edit - nevermind, went to the github link, I get it now. Thanks!

I love this so much, but is there any way to either move the floating bar tighter to the top of the page so it doesn't obstruct posts as much, or turn off it's floating?

I really like the look of that! Thanks for sharing!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh nice! Never used any CSS or user.styles stuff before, but that was easy and worked.

Now watch me be too stupid to try an ever change anything about it for myself...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

How do I make this apply to my own instance? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

[–] beanz 1 points 2 years ago

I think this could be really cool style if it blended some more of the lemmy UI elements like color-coded threaded replies. I also feel generally the info in the post tiles on frontpage is too spaced, both on this userstyle and lemmy's default styles. Obviously you don't want cramped design but I feel like the vertical space of the tile could contract like 30% without losing any information or looking cramped, then you could fit 30% more links on the screen at once.
