Try https://b.piefed.social/ instead! Log in with the same username and password as piefed.social.

It works best on a phone / tablet but on a desktop it's fine too once you switch to compact mode.

It can be installed as a PWA.

There are also lots of themes you can try at https://piefed.social/user/settings. Here are some screenshots of them - https://join.piefed.social/screenshots/

I like the default theme. I just want to change the accent color.

high contrast theme is the best one imo

The Amethyst theme in your user settings is mostly a recolored version of the default theme that is pretty popular. You could give that a shot. The HPT themes are a bit more of a departure, but they have lots of fans out there as well.

The colors are all overwrite-able via custom css in your settings if one of those options doesn't work. Which elements are you looking to recolor? We use Bootstrap css for the web ui, so you would just need to overwrite the default colors that Bootstrap uses.

I'm sure this can be done with custom CSS in the user settings!

I don't really know how, but if nobody magically spawns with a solution in this thread you could consider asking in !piefed_css@piefed.social :)
