I’ve started using beehaw a bit more and found the UI was a bit small. I had 2 main goals, outside mimicking a Reddit theme I used to use:
- Make things a bit easier to read - So much small text everywhere. Maybe I’m just getting old.
- Use more of the horizontal space
Some screenshots:
It does have some issues:
- Only tested on 1 resolution/size so who knows how it looks elsewhere
- I mostly only looked at the main page and posts. It doesn’t look quite right in the user settings, profile, comminties, etc.
- Only tested with the darkly-red theme
- I didn’t bother messing with the footers or side bars
- There’s no light/dark theming
I’m not really a web developer so most of my knowledge is from before web devs started using web frameworks, like bootstrap, so this is probably a bit hacky. I’m not positive I’ll continue with the theme but thought it could be interesting for someone else.
The CSS (I’m using Stylus):
@-moz-document domain("beehaw.org") {
body {
background-color: #e6e6e8;
color: #fff;
}
div.container-lg {
max-width: unset;

}
h5.mb-0 {
color: #000;
}
.mb-4 {
background-color: #000;
}
.mb-3 .btn-outline-secondary {
color: #444;
background-color: #fff;
}
div.main-content-wrapper div div:not([class]),
/* Main Page */
div.comments
{
background: #fff;
border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);

}
div.text-muted {
