I think it looks good and less plain than the default. :)

Looks cool. Would like a slightly more compact view without the big buffer between posts, but it looks good. 👍
I don't mind the general aesthetic, but I would like a change for the upvotes and downvotes: Color. Right now, in the thread, the arrows only grow in size after being clicked. This is slightly hard to decipher, and I personally would like a splash of color to make one's votes to stand out.
Making a upvote orange, and a downvote blue, would contrast nicely and be different from the neutral grays. This would make it easier to identify my expressed opinions as I scroll through a thread.
Wow, that's a nice theme. I like how clearly it compartmentalises things. It adds clarity over the default.
Thank you!
Its not visible in the screenshot, but you can see how the comments view look a bit nicer than default also if you go to lemmy.today and just browse some thread with comments.
I have to give @Allero@lemmy.today credit for helping out with feedback for this theme as well.
Kind of funny, because everything I felt was off with the initial look, thats the stuff that he commented on and said it can be improved.
I think there are still improvements that can be made, so if you or anyone else has ideas... Always super welcome.
Aww, that's a sweet credit
But it's all your work in the end! For us all :)
😬 Personally, I don't like dark themes. I have poor eye sight and dark themes always make the text look blurry to me.
Is it possible to change the theme at the individual level?
However, color inversion makes it harder to read for others. If this happens to you, eye dilation may be the culprit.
When you look at dark text on a light background, your pupils constrict to provide sharper visual acuity. Your pupils dilate when the background changes from white to black or darker colors.
Eye dilation is a normal response to low light conditions, but it makes it harder to focus on text. People with astigmatism might have a tough time reading in night mode.
I added some media queries to the lemmy_default theme so if you pick that one now, it will choose the default light theme if your browser or operating system prefers light mode, and otherwise dark mode. Should be the easiest for everyone.
You may have to hold shift and reload the page to clear any browser cache, since I just changed that theme. :)
Absolutely, go into settings and pick a light theme there. The default theme has light version for example. Hope you find something that fits your eyes, otherwise I can add some more themes from the internet as well.
I like it. I mean I use a app to browse lemmy 99.9% of the time so my vote counts 0 but hey. its miles better than the default lemmy poop colors hehe
If I could make Connect look like this, I would be so happy. I mean, I think I can I just need to figure out which colors are which in the settings.
The site looks gayer now, yay
I really wanted to suggest just the same thing! Just thought you might wanna test it out on your own.
I'm happy this design is now the default, and it's surely a work to be proud of.
With that said, I hope other instances will be provided with this theme if ever requested :)
Absolutely. There was another thread about this theme on a other instance, and im so happy that more people like it.
Let me just clean this theme up and perhaps we can make a light version also. And then share it with the community.
