Alright, I’ve added some ‘quieter’ options that look a lot less colorful for those that want something a bit more subtle, both for the light and dark themes.

Okay that makes sense, will try to create a few more subtle themes, thank you!

I’ve been meaning to upgrade but GPUs are stupid expensive where I live if you want something decent.

I can take a look when I have a bit more time, otherwise feel free to make one and submit a pull request :)

Unfortunately you can’t; it would need to be implemented by the owner of the instance to make it selectable there, but these themes have been built to work with the default litely theme on any Lemmy instance, all you need is a browser plugin/extension that can inject custom CSS in order to use these themes.

Yup! Doesn’t rely on instance owners adding more themes to their instances, can be used by any user on any instance that has the default litely theme installed.

Hey there, sure, currently I’m using this. The border between comments on a comment thread doesn’t look the best, but it makes it easier for me to track comment levels so I like it, though there are certain properties I’d like to change but can’t.

Either way, I’m using an extension called Amino to apply my CSS changes on a domain-level.

This fixes a lot of the whitespace and borders to make differentiating between posts and comments a little easier, while minimizing white space. I think it looks nice.

EDIT: I’ve made a few more changes in terms of color.

.container-lg {
    max-width: 1600px;
}
.col-md-8 {
    max-width: 80%;
    flex: 0 0 80%;
}
.col-md-4 {
    max-width: 20%;
    flex: 0 0 20%;
}
.col-sm-2 {
    max-width: 10%;
    flex: 0 0 10%;
}
.col-sm-9 {
    margin-left: 5px;
    max-width: 80%;
    flex: 0 0 80%;
}
.post-listing {
    border: 1px solid rgba(34,34,34,.125);
    border-bottom: 0px;
    border-color: #c80000;
    padding-top: 10px;
    background-color: #fff;
}
hr {
    display: none;
}
.border-top {
    border-top: 1px solid rgba(34,34,34,.125)!important;
}
.border-light {
    border-color: #e4e4e5!important;
}
body {
    background-color: #ecf0f1;
}
.navbar {
    background-color: #fff;
}
.card {
    background-color: #fff;
}
.comments {
    padding-left: 5px;
    background-color: #fff;
}

If we could end up with a theme that looks a lot more like https://kbin.social, I’d be so happy. My biggest gripe with Lemmy is all of the white space, and none of the current themes improve that at all. All of the theme options offered by kbin look amazing by comparison, and to my understanding Lemmy theming is done via CSS based on Bootstrap v4, so new theme creation should be straightforward enough.

It’s to the point where, when visiting Lemmy instances, I use a custom CSS extension to modify a few properties to make it a bit more palatable to me.

If you guys ever need help creating custom themes to offer to users I’d be happy to contribute.

Dude is super bitter.

I kinda feel the same way. I’ve used the official Reddit app before, and I might’ve considered using a modded version of the official client, but I just feel gross even having a Reddit account after what they’ve done. Despite the fact that I use old.reddit as well, once Apollo is gone I reckon I’ll delete my account.

That website loads painfully slowly. Got impatient after a minute of loading and closed the tab.
