For the people looking for a nice theme

I really liked the idea of giving the user the possibility to write their own CSS for a website, and I really enjoyed building a theme for the Midnight.

It looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/HX8bBFD

If you like it, feel free to copy my _theme.css (https://zeno.midnight.pub/_theme.css) and use it for your self and if you don't like it, feel free to alter it to your liking or not at all.

Any feedback is appreciated, be it on the visuals or coding practices I used, I don't have much experience with webdev/CSS.

I appreciate the effort and love to the community. The theme looks gorgeous. Currently browsing through your website as well.

I'm glad you like it. Yeah, this is a great place. Oh, I am honored :) Hope you find something you find interesting.

Thanks for the theme Zeno! I added it as well. Looks perfect on my screen, and it's easier on my eyes.

zeno

No problem. Thats good to hear

Zeno, this looks amazing! I love the choice of colors and the small details like the rounded corners. Quick tip for anyone who wants to use Zeno's theme and get all the latest changes:

Use "@import url(https://zeno.midnight.pub/_theme.css);" in your _theme.css file.

Uhhohh, that's a lot of pressure, now I have to maintain it^^ But yeah, good tip.

I am glad you like it tho :)

I changed a few things with visibility and font size, here's my version: https://imgur.com/a/DGMfkPF

Did you use any tool to style it or hand written css?

interesting, how did you change the back colored boxes?

apeia

This:

main article {

background-color:#2B2E3B;

border-radius: 5px;

}

I would make the boxes more round... but then there would be text outside the "boxes" :(

zeno

I think if you add padding, that should fix the issue. Thats how I did it

firefliesblueskies

cool, thanks!

zeno

No tools, it's handwritten

apeia

any reason you use colors this way?

--accent: #e93c58;

var(--accent)

zeno

You mean why I used variables? Makes it easier for me to change the colors if I want to try a different colorscheme for example. By using variables I only have to change them in one location

apeia

Sounds useful, I've never tried it in any of my projects. Thanks for the information!

I love it! so I just put it in my pages?

zeno

You basically create a new page called "_theme.css" and than copy my css in there.

firefliesblueskies

ah, I had put my name before it. This is lovely!

zeno

Im glad you like it :)
