Feeling cyberpunk?
(lemmy.today)
Hi everyone!
There is a new theme called cyberpunkish in the web interface settings now.
I wanted to create a theme for this instance and this is my first stab at it. If you try it out, any feedback is very welcome!
I edited this post to show how it looks now in latest version. I will sticky this post for a day so regular users dont miss info about it.
Frontpage:
Comments:
Communities:
Huge thanks to @Allero@lemmy.today for so much great feedback about the theme.
If many people think its great, perhaps we set it as default for the instance.
Looks nice without post borders! But then the purple line on the right of the post is certainly unnecessary.
Totally agree yeah. I removed it, and also changed the neon blue line on the posts slightly, and made the form look better. Also Communities looks a bit styled now. And a pink ring on post hover.
Still have to do the Create Community and Create Post later and also fine tune some buttons.
The changes are in "test6.css" if you want to try it out yourself and play around.. :)
Will certainly give it a spin a bit later!
Ok! Im all the time comparing to original screenshot and some things are better, some may be worse.
Perhaps a background for posts are slightly better after all, it does look a bit empty without it. But have a try and see.
Yep, test5 is better than test6 in terms of posts. Makes sense to return background
Yeah I guess. Thank you again! Will finish the theme within the next few days i hope.
Oh, one more thing, at least judging by test5.
The whole comment section has that blue line on the left. In a default theme, lines on the left are reserved for comment responses, not for original comments on the post.
As a result, the whole comment section looks like it's a response to a specific comment, which is confusing.
Yeah that needs fixing for sure. Also lots of smaller things like comments background color....
Alright, check out test7. :) Ive changed how comments are drawn, fixed the line bug for parent comments, and also try clicking on the Communities, Create Post and Create Community buttons, lots of changes there. And post form is now without gradients and more integrated into the look.
Feedback welcome :)
Ooohhhh, that's gold! Love how you added gradient to comment lines - it makes things just right - and yes, now parent comments are easily identifiable, and also citations and highlights look awesome! The communities page is pure platinum, too! I think you reached absolute perfection there. One thing I would change is the Communities/Create Post/Create Community buttons themselves. No need to have gradient frame there IMO, maybe even a simple copy of Subscribed/Local/All/Moderator view would do, but that needs testing. Also, rounding the Search button in the Communities section would likely add consistency.
Super! Yeah, the Search button there and the Next button on main page needs to be rounded, easy fix.
Perhaps the gradient frame on top menu was a bit overboard.. -)
But we are getting close to something that is quite nice to use. I would use this theme when im in the browser for sure.
I already use it when on browser! Switched from Photon because you finally made the default interface actually good
Alright, I guess final changes, fixed the top bar so its more blending in:
Also made these icons a bit smaller:
A bit lighter background on comments since the black was giving me eye strain.. :)
New comments stand out properly:
Give it a try, its still test7.css. Starting to feel final enough to overwrite cyberpunkish.css. :)
Testing new comment highlight while we're at it. Update: good!
~~Also - somehow for me the Communities/Create post/Create Community boxes are still with that gradient frame, so it's either something on my end or you didn't apply this change. But looking by your screenshots, it should be very good!~~
Update: you applied your changes to cyberpunkish, not test7. Now I see all changes properly, and they are all good!
Nice!
Thanks again for all your help and if you spot something that looks weird with the theme, let me know :)
Sure thing!
Thanks for making this place better!
