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.
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.
