Edit: the font colours are wanted I was just struggling with the CSS to make an example.

    I think this might be a lemmy-ui issue rather than an ani.social issue. I don’t know a thing about css, but I think the offending bit of it is here in the lemmy-ui source.

      Yeah that’s where I was struggling. That element only controls some of the page. The UI CSS is poorly formatted and feels like spaghetti code.

    I think I can add a custom theme with a pure black background. I’ll try it later.

      Thanks that’s appreciated. I’m trying to go for an OLED compatible theme and that requires actual black rgb(0,0,0)

        I added an “amoled” theme under the theme dropdown in user settings. Let me know if it works!

          Hi thanks for that! So, I tried the theme but I’m seeing colour rgb(17,17,17) instead of rgb(0,0,0).

          rgb(17,17,17)

          rgb(0,0,0)

          I’m using firefox if that matters.

          Edit 1: The setting un-applied after browsing for a bit? Might be a cache issue I cleared it.

          Seems to be working nowThanks

          Edit 2:

          The reply dialog is still the old grey black.

            Should be fixed now. You might have to clear browser cache for it to take effect or wait it out a bit. Let me know how it goes!

              That worked :) looks great. You might wanna consider creating a git pull for this theme?

                I think I’ll leave it to other people to do a PR. I simply changed all #111 to #000 and 17, 17, 17 to 0, 0, 0 so there might be some unintended behavior somewhere. Also, the last time I did a PR, it didn’t end very well.

                The CSS file is accessible here however: https://ani.social/css/themes/amoled.css
