Up for discussion:

The userscript I (and others) have written seems to be fairly popular among people who have found it. I’ve had several requests to turn it into a Lemmy theme, but I have been hesitant to do so. Partly because I lack the skill to do it, and partly because it isn’t really a “theme” as such. It doesn’t change the colors or do some of the things a theme typically does. In truth, the script is actually (essentially) theme agnostic - I use it with darkly, but it works with all of the other Lemmy themes without issue (hopefully).

I have no qualms with someone helping turn the CSS stuff into a Lemmy theme (or just taking the bull by the horns and doing it) , but with the changes coming in v.0.18 it may be better to wait.

Anyone have any thoughts? Is this script even appropriate for a Lemmy theme?

    You might take a look at other Lemmy -> Reddit appearance themes and see what you need to adapt. I found this one which changes Lemmy to look much more like old reddit. Tinker with it, see what changes what, then see what object/class names you need to change to make your script affect the same stuff on Lemmy.

    Also yeah, that’s gonna be a chunk of work.

      Yeah, the old.reddit.compact script already edits most of those styles. It’s less about the CSS which has already been written/modified and more about getting it into Lemmy as a selectable “native” style rather than relying on Stylus or Tamper/Violentmonkey
