After using this website for the last week, I have to say it: We need better CSS styling. I've tried, I really have... But, the styling here is awful. Ah, I feel so much better now. Anyone else agree, or is it just me being the Web Designer/Developer that I am? Would love to hear all y'all's thoughts along with what options we have u/axolotl_peyotl and u/Doggos. If you need help with the CSS then I can help. If not, then I'm going to code a plugin/addon for my personal use and share it, because I can't take it any longer and I have a feeling others coming from Reddit probably agree!
Discuss.
Yay! I'm not the only picky asshole (the stickied post that included css on the list was mine lol). I might submit a few header options to the community and see if anyone likes anything. I'm better at graphics than css.
I'm not really talking about the header graphic, I just want a better night/dark theme for here. If Axo or the admins of .win don't do anything then I'm just going to code an addon that will mimic old.reddit dark theme. I know, I know... Fuck Reddit, and yes... But, I've been using that website for 10+ years. I like the old minimal dark styling and I guaran-fuckin-tee that I'm not the only one.
What's your beef w the night theme? Just making sure you know there's an option under settings.
It's blue and I fuckin' hate blue. You can tell a designer didn't come up with the CSS here.
Fair enough. Honestly, I don't really ever use night mode myself.
I keep flicking back and forth between the two. Both are raping my eyes. Like I said, you can tell a designer didn't come up with the CSS here. If the mods and admins don't want to respond, then I'll just code up a addon and release the code for people to use. I'm not going to lie though, I'm not liking how neither Axo or Doggos will respond when I ping them. Not a good sign.
i want to see if i have notifications without scrolling all the way up
He already asked for help with the CSS you could have spent all week fixing it
I missed this too.
When and where?
I couldn't care less about the styling, the more spartan the better for me personally. This is what a site like this should look like IMO: https://news.ycombinator.com/news
Fast, no frills, loads on a potato.
My two cents. As a techie, I like "KISS". Keep it simple stupid. Personally I hate designers competing how flashy and fancy they can design. They always break something. Corrupt something.
Why shift focus from what matters, to how it looks? This site as is, at least on Firefox with dark mode on, it's white text on black. No annoying flashy emojis or other graphic annoyance. Keep it simple and fast.
I'm in the process of integrating this domain into a functional Custom Reddit CSS I've been tinkering with for quite a while.
Edit;
Spent the last few hours tweaking. It's operational. Dark mode has been taken care of as well; Eye-friendly Dark Red instead blue. Nightmode colors are available for manual tweaking under :root in Code #2.
