You need to put the .css file directly into the extra_theme folder. As for documentation and how to make them I didn't find much myself so I did some trial and error with another person's custom theme. I've got some commented stuff at the bottom of our instance's theme if that's of any help.
I tried putting all the css files, but nothing works. Should I put them together in one file? Or is each file a single theme?
I set the LEMMY_UI_EXTRA_THEMES_FOLDER
environment variable to /app/extra_themes
then volume my extra_theme
to it, which is
# ...
volumes:
- ./lemmy-ui/extra_themes:/app/extra_themes
# ...
Is this right?
That looks correct to me. Try doing a Ctrl+F5 on the theme selection page in settings for it to show up in the dropdown if you haven't done that.
Thanks Sami, it was a cache issue, I've updated the post with more details
I'll try that, hope it works, thank you
