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

Repository: https://github.com/pkrasicki/lemmy-modern-ui-theme-addon

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...

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.

Install userstyles manager (like Stylus) and you are good to go using your own backgrounds and more.

I use this userstyle for Lemmy.

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

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:

oh, so it's like a 'better defaults' thing. improved base thing, thanks!

[-] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 3 points 1 year ago

This looks sweet! As an admin, does anyone know of any instructions anywhere on installing new themes site-wide by chance?

[-] pkrasicki@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 2 points 1 year ago

Oh awesome, thank you! My docker compose template must've been from before they added the extra_templates volume 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!

[-] pkrasicki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's awesome! It turns out that using the theme breaks my addon, so I will have to fix that :).

[-] Dubois_arache@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I am using it right now, thank you so much.

[-] breakfastmtn@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago

@pkrasicki This looks great and I'd love to check it out. Would it be possible to add support for my instance?

[-] pkrasicki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, I added support for it now :).

[-] pkrasicki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I just released a new version with small fixes for Lemmy 0.18.1-rc.7, which lemmy.world just upgraded to.

[-] NettoHikari@social.fossware.space 1 points 1 year ago

Wait. RC7? RC4 is the latest one, right? Or am I just blind?

[-] pkrasicki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

RC4 is latest for backend. But Lemmy UI has RC7.
