[Firefox Addon] Lemmy Modern UI Theme
I made a Firefox addon that replaces the styles on Lemmy instances with something more modern. It works with Lemmy 0.17 and 0.18. It supports both light and dark theme.
Addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lemmy-modern-ui-theme

I also released the CSS files - they can be used as a theme on a Lemmy instance. Tell your instance admin to give it a try: https://github.com/pkrasicki/lemmy-modern-ui-theme-addon/releases
Yo this is awesome, gonna try that! Imagine if Lemmy also supported instances to let sublemmies having their own CSS backgrounds...
Install userstyles manager (like Stylus) and you are good to go using your own backgrounds and more.
I use this userstyle for Lemmy.
Suddenly I’m remembering MySpace back in the good ol days when you could do all SORTS of customization to your profile. Now I want a Fediverse version of THAT.
Man, I’m so glad I’m here. Seeing all the cool things and excitement from the community reminds me of the early days of Reddit. This looks really awesome!
I’m glad you’re here too. Wouldn’t work without you guys.
Looks so good
This looks sweet! As an admin, does anyone know of any instructions anywhere on installing new themes site-wide by chance?
You just need to follow this to use it on your instance: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/theming.html. Then you can select the new theme in the admin panel.
Oh awesome, thank you! My docker compose template must've been from before they added the
extra_templatesvolume for lemmy-ui which is why I couldn't find it at first.I've set it as the default theme for my instance, and provided a link on the site's sidebar if that's alright with you!
That's awesome! It turns out that using the theme breaks my addon, so I will have to fix that :).
Seeing all these comments I think I'm blind. I'll have to test to see what the difference is with the default theme lol.
Here are some screenshots from 0.18 default: ::: spoiler spoiler

oh, so it's like a 'better defaults' thing. improved base thing, thanks!
I am using it right now, thank you so much.
@pkrasicki This looks great and I'd love to check it out. Would it be possible to add support for my instance?
Sure, I added support for it now :).
I just released a new version with small fixes for Lemmy 0.18.1-rc.7, which lemmy.world just upgraded to.
Wait. RC7? RC4 is the latest one, right? Or am I just blind?
RC4 is latest for backend. But Lemmy UI has RC7.
