For anyone that would love to get a little more separation/readability out of comments, download Stylebot for chrome or a custom CSS extension for your browser, then use the CSS I wrote out below to get it to look like my screenshot!

Edit: Been making periodic updates throughout the day, and it's sooo much better now, make sure to use the update code below!

Maybe worth looking at making some of these changes on the github project for lemmy, since it is open source. Idk how open they are to styling changes at the moment, but seems to me it would be worth while for some like community style picker to be build out, and people can just select the theme they like the most.

Actually looking at it more it looks like they already have CSS themes in a folder there.

Doesn't seem to work reliably, any custom themes linked to limmy-ui just fallback to the default litely theme, i had to dive into the guts and directly edit the core themes to get my instance styling started, but i don't like overriding core styles so hopefully it'll get fixed.

EDIT: Updated lemmy images in my docker stack, seems fixed - now to rip out my hacks into their own sheets 🙄

I always find it strange because dark modes and light text on black backgrounds bugs the hell out of my eyes.

[–] hemko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Scrolling with dark mode and suddenly 1000 suns on the screen feels terrible

[–] curiouscanoe@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just to tag onto this. I found it really frustrating that the navigation header for the site isn't stickied to the top of the page. I added this to my styles to accomplish that:

nav.navbar.navbar-expand-md.navbar-light.shadow-sm.p-0.px-3 {
    position: sticky;
    top: 0;
    background-color: #fff;
    z-index: 100;
}

Note that if you're using a theme that doesn't have a white background (#fff) you'll want to adjust that value to whatever your background is.

I also set the z-index arbitrarily high. It seems certain elements have a z-index already set, so this value might need some tweaking.

Side-by-Side screenshot comparison for those who wonder what it looks like...

[–] SmugBedBug@lemmy.iswhereits.at 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you share the code for the darkly theme?

[–] GadgeteerZA@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'm just using the Dark Reader browser extension

[–] BobQuasit@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let it all burn down. Leave nothing for the IPO.

[–] AdminWorker@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This comment may have been posted on the wrong post. I think it is a known issue that they are working on.

[–] BobQuasit@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, Lemmy was flaking out when I posted this. My comment was directed toward what should happen to Reddit on a different thread.

[–] kacoleman@toast.ooo 5 points 1 year ago

Clearly 😂

[–] ngwoo@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Oh that's what's been happening.

[–] wildeaboutoskar@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Looks great! Any plans for 'dark mode'? I would probably use that if so

[–] communist@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

https://github.com/HrBingR/Lemmy_CSS may also want to get it merged here!

[–] GadgeteerZA@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Working great for me on both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org. I’m using Dark Reader extension, so it is showing fine too in dark mode for me.

[–] geon@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

This is amazing! Thank you for making this.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

heads up you can use the code block to make this more readable. In markdown it's a block like started ended with the triple "```"

[–] webbedgiant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Was trying to figure this out! Was having issues just using the button, will give it a go!

[–] 0485919158191@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is great. Thanks!

[–] Xuerian@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You might want to consider putting this into a gist so it has a static link and is easily installable/can see changes

Or just publish to userstyles.world through stylus.

Either way, thanks for sharing.

[–] milkytoast@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

does stylebot work on Firefox and mobile?

[–] iorale@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using Stylus for Firefox and it works so far

[–] SmugBedBug@lemmy.iswhereits.at 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm using CSS Override. Works perfectly. Haven't tried it on mobile.

[–] letThemPlay@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Looks good will give it a go, when I get back to my computer.
