Anyone willing to help out with a custom theme? (self.meta)

Might be nice to give this instance more Solarpunk like colors. I am currently a bit short on time to work on this myself, but contributions are welcome.

A nice banner image would be cool as well.

The documentation on theming is not very detailed, but it seems to be mostly just Bootstrap 4: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/theming.html (Edit: that docu might be outdated and it is actually Bootstrap 5 now)

An example for a instance with a custom theme is here: https://compuverse.uk/

Haha yeah colour choosing is where my design skills do fall over and die. (I was going for a blue sky kind of thing but it DOES look weird). I'll try it with one of those colour palettes, they're pretty nice!

I'm 99% sure it's tested against 0.18 for lemmy-ui (I'm just working against the most recent main branch but I haven't pulled in a bit) but I'll make sure yeah.

Ah, I'd tested against 0.18 but not a recent enough one, I've pulled down the newest (working) version with bootstrap 5 now and I'll be using that when changing up the colours. I am noticing some new issues with bootstrap 5, but nothing major.

Great. I'll look further into how to enable custom themes when upgrading to 0.18, which should happen in the next couple of days.
