Why YSK: Because that’s friggin awesome?!

Screenshots (themes also have dark versions):

Default:

Default-compact:

“Vaporwave”:

There’s also an odd “i386” theme, along with a “pure black” darkly.

    Darkly-compact is now my instance default. Full screen width is the #1 thing I was missing with every other theme.

    I do like the compact views. The spanning across the entire width of the screen doesn’t feel entirely right layout-wise, imo, but my home feed being able to show me more info at a glance is nice.

    I really like the darkly-pureblack theme, but I wish there was also a darkly-compact-pureblack :). I also like the vaporwave themes, but I wish it would let us choose a different monospace font (or any other font for that matter).

        This is an easy fix if you’re using a browser extension that enables custom CSS. I use the Stylus plugin for Firefox.

        Create a new style for your instance (e.g. thelemmyclub.com) and add the following lines of code:

        body {
        font-family: ‘fontname’, sans-serif;
        }

        And replace fontname with the name of the desired font.

        I’ve found that Roboto or IBM Plex Sans work particularly well.

        technically you should override the CSS to use whatever font you like.

      I actually like the nostalgia font. I just need that and pureblack in compact aka widescreen.

    Thank you for this. I never would have noticed this in my instance settings but I never would have gotten around to looking lol

    There is a pure black setting now. Anyone with an AMOLED device needs to change to this now. Making the background full black turns off the LEDs in these regions greatly reducing power consumption of the device.

    Absolute legend. Now all I need is an app like rif with a pure black theme and I’m home.

    Well, hello there, vaporwave-dark, I think we’re going to get along swimmingly

      I’m using Tokyo Night on kbin. Though Solarized light looks slick, if you like light themes.

    We need an LCARS theme now.

    Vaporwave Dark is broken for me. Post titles are the same color as the background, so I can’t read them unless I highlight them. Bummer because I’d like to use this theme.

        Just tried it, no dice. Thanks for the suggestion though.

          Is it working in incognito mode? If yes, you’ll probably need to clear your browser cache.

            That was it! Thanks a bunch.

              Whenever you have a computer problem, it’s usually the cache or dns.

    Thanks for mentioning it! The compact theme is the one I need.

    The settings don’t seem to stick for me for some reason. I hit save and it looks good on my profile page but then when I navigate back to lemmy.world it goes back to the “browser default” setting.

      Try reloading without cache after saving. On Windows that would be

      CTRL+F5

      I had the same problem, but it worked after I closed all other Lemmy tabs in my browser.

    Pure black looks good on my phone. Get them OLED gains. (Been using Lemmy as an installed app from chrome/brave)

      I’ve been using Liftoff and think it’s got a really nice UI. Just found the OLED setting and it’s very, very black and pretty.

    Thanks, just made some changes to mine, wish we could get rid of the whitespace on the sides without an extension.
