Hey everyone. I made two themes inspired and based off the winternord theme some of you may have seen already in your instances. One is a darker, more contrasty theme (icy-nord-darker) based on the other (icy-nord). They are very simple, but they do fix some issues I had with winternord, such as some text being very hard to read because of its colour, or the background image often interfering with the foreground and making it hard to read stuff.
Let me know what you think, any suggestions, what you like, and what you dislike.
Forked from: ier (2xx04)
I really like icy-nord-darker. Would you consider a slightly more compact version? You’ve already slimmed it down a lot compared to winternord, which I really appreciate.
Could you clarify what you mean by slimming down? Do you mean literally the width of stuff?
The vertical spacing between posts in the main feed.
Slim was probably the wrong choice of words in the original request.
I could. Please wait for a few more people to check it out, and if enough people agree with you and would prefer it slimmer I’ll go ahead and do it :)
alright, i am going to try it now. so basically i have to import both files(.css, .diff.css) into /volumes/lemmy-ui/extra_themes or?
If youre going to try it locally, just install the browser extension it mentions and copy the .diff.css code into the extensions area, then save. It will apply to all tabs you have so its just a temporary measure if you want to test it out.
As for servers, unfortunately I cant give you any help as I dont run an instance so I havent tried it in that way
Got it. I’ll manage somehow because https://bootstrap.build/app is not working from my end.
Maybe ask an instance admin who already has some themes up and running. They will probably know
I have no idea who has it. Do you have any instance link that is already running it?
If you want to check it out, the instance im on has it set as default. Otherwise, pretty much any admin that has any custom theme setup should be able to guide you through the process. It doesn’t necessarily need to be my themes. Hope it helps!
i’m no coder but i wonder if this little guide would help you: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/theming.html
thank you, but the problem is that the bootstrap signup is not working and i cannot import and build css
I’m gonna give it a try on my server.
Winter Nord one looks great :)
This is awesome I would love it if beehaw considers adding more themes using this one!
Running icy-nord now. is it on purpose that the text when writing comments are blue?
It wasn’t on purpose initially, but I ended up liking it so I left it. Its a trivial thing to change though so if you’d like it to be changed make a discussion on here, and I will make a poll eventually where all of you can vote on if it will be changed. I decided to do it like this because otherwise I feel like I’ll start getting swamped with requests to change minor things, and now its easier to just tell people “Go here and make a post for your request”, you know?
