A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Lemmy Custom Theming/CSS (github.com)

So I made a few custom Lemmy themes/CSS tweaks that I think the community would appreciate.

It aims to provide more color options, as well as reduce whitespace and make it easier to follow comment chains. Created it for use with beehaw, but should work with any Lemmy instance.

Just make sure to use the default litely theme in your Lemmy settings before testing these out, they were built with that in mind.

Please let me know if you have any other ideas or improvements, and feel free to submit pull requests!

How to use: Install any custom CSS extension/plugin for your browser, and paste the CSS in there. I personally use Amino for Edge and filter the CSS for the beehaw.org domain, but any custom CSS extension or plugin should work.

This is a great base for people to create their own. I much prefer the wider page width to Lemmy's default on desktop.

Personally, though, I find the box outline colors in these themes to be a little loud.

I tweaked the CSS and made it look a bit more understated.

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

Very nice!

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. Thank you for the feedback!
