Up for discussion:

The userscript I (and others) have written seems to be fairly popular among people who have found it. I’ve had several requests to turn it into a Lemmy theme, but I have been hesitant to do so. Partly because I lack the skill to do it, and partly because it isn’t really a “theme” as such. It doesn’t change the colors or do some of the things a theme typically does. In truth, the script is actually (essentially) theme agnostic - I use it with darkly, but it works with all of the other Lemmy themes without issue (hopefully).

I have no qualms with someone helping turn the CSS stuff into a Lemmy theme (or just taking the bull by the horns and doing it) , but with the changes coming in v.0.18 it may be better to wait.

Anyone have any thoughts? Is this script even appropriate for a Lemmy theme?

    So, I don’t think this could be a theme because… What you are doing is replacing the Bootstrap code itself

    yeah, this is what I thought. Makes sense and I appreciate the insight/feedback.

    As a sidenote, reading your code I saw you used the browser’s user agent to check for mobile users.

    Yes indeed. That’s coming out. New released updates handle screen width with pure CSS (the @media you mentioned) so there’s no need to check for browser type/agent anymore. In fact, I’m getting rid of basically all the functions (except for the tagline reposition which I’m pretty sure won’t be needed for v0.18).

      Is this “new version” you speak of the one you pushed 5 hours ago? I really like it! The fix to the banner in user profiles is great, it looks much nicer. Yes I really think I’m going to add this to my instance.
