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.

    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).

      Yeah I’d be on VaporWave if the font wasn’t awful (imho)

        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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Apologies for piggybacking this post so late especially, but - shameless plug - I have a couple themes based on nord which anyone can add to their instance. I would actually appreciate any feedback on them, so please feel free to check them out (github link)
