PieFed allows you to specity CSS in your settings so you can make it look however you like. What CSS do you use to improve your experience?

I whipped up some today to make the PWA better (for me) on mobile. It moves the post and comment action buttons to the right side, where your hand is (sorry lefties), puts the title below the preview for image/video posts, and makes previews full-width on mobile. Pretty minor, but it makes a big impact to me.

.post_utilities_bar .pull-right,  
.comment_actions .pull-right {  
  margin: 0;  
}  

.post_utilities_bar .voting_buttons_new,  
.comment_actions .voting_buttons_new {  
  order: -1;  
}  

.post_utilities_bar,  
.comment .comment_actions  {  
  justify-content: right !important;  
  flex-direction: row-reverse;  
}  

@media only screen and (max-width:990px) {  
  .post_teaser_image_preview,  
  .post_teaser_video_preview {  
    position: relative;  
    right: 13px;  
    width: 100vw;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_image_preview a,  
  .post_teaser_video_preview div {  
    border: none;  
    border-radius: 0;  
    max-width: 100vw;  
    max-height: 100vh;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_video_preview p {  
    margin-bottom: 0;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_body:has(.post_teaser_image_preview, .post_teaser_video_preview) {  
    display: flex;  
    flex-direction: column;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_body .post_teaser_image_preview,  
  .post_teaser_body .post_teaser_video_preview {  
    order: -1;  
  }  
}

Sidenote, I think the css feature might be doing some xml encoding or something because > doesn’t seem to work in selectors. I didn’t mess around enough to prove that definitively.

      I like it.

      Can I use this to make a PieFed theme? I mean copy it into the PieFed code.

        please go ahead. but this is very generic, so you can easily simplify and delete plenty of selectors/key-value pairs.

        additionally, existing high contrast theme is very close, and you might just want to change that a bit.

        if you want the font, i can share the iosevka config, and also compile to woff files (i currently only have ttfs)

        thank you. yeah i prefer monospace fonts. and iosevka is a pretty good base font, and you can choose what exact design for each character do you want. my usual aim is to have simple shapes - either simple arcs or straight lines.

    because > doesn’t seem to work in selectors

    I learned this the other day when I was trying to troubleshoot some css. It gets html-encoded so it doesn’t work anymore in the selector.
