Hello everyone, I didn’t really like the darkly lemmy theme, so I’ve decided to port Catppuccin Macchiato Pink. You should be able to see it in action by going to my instance, as I’ve set it to be the default there.

I’ve shared both the final CSS that you can use as a custom theme if you’re an instance owner and as a theme for the https://github.com/openstyles/stylus extension, and the _variables.scss file if you want to modify something using https://bootstrap.build

    Hi! I was trying to install some themes, including this one on my instance. I added extra_themes with the CSS files in volumes/lemmy-ui/extra_themes, and then added that volume to the lemmy-ui container mapping it to /app/assets/css/extra_themes. When I bring the container back up, the new themes are not available in settings, even though they are on the container file system. What am I missing?

      Hi, the themes only take one file, so the extra_themes directory just directly contains CSS files. Make sure to include the .css extension, otherwise they won’t get picked up

      When I first tried, I did something like extra_themes/catppuccin-macchiato/bootstrap.min.css, that’s not valid, it’s extra_themes/catppuccin-macchiato.css

        Thanks for your quick reply.

        Where exactly does the extra_themes volume need to end up inside the container? Does it belong in /app/assets/css/extra_themes? That is where I dropped the CSS files but they were not picked up.

          I’m not sure. I don’t use the container. I believe the extra_themes folder should be inside of the lemmy-ui folder

            OK, thanks. I’ll keep poking around when I get some more time and see if I can figure it out. Your theme looks great, by the way!
