[help] I have been steadily getting requests to turn my old.reddit.compact userscript into a Lemmy theme - but I don't know how to do it (github.com)

Up for discussion:

The userscript I (and others) have written seems to be fairly popular among people who have found it. I've had several requests to turn it into a Lemmy theme, but I have been hesitant to do so. Partly because I lack the skill to do it, and partly because it isn’t really a “theme” as such. It doesn’t change the colors or do some of the things a theme typically does. In truth, the script is actually (essentially) theme agnostic - I use it with darkly, but it works with all of the other Lemmy themes without issue (hopefully).

I have no qualms with someone helping turn the CSS stuff into a Lemmy theme (or just taking the bull by the horns and doing it) , but with the changes coming in v.0.18 it may be better to wait.

Anyone have any thoughts? Is this script even appropriate for a Lemmy theme?

The CSS will indeed look the same from a layout perspective, but it doesn’t change any colors - and you can’t select two themes at the same time (currently). It doesn’t destroy any bootstrappy defaults, but it would default back to the standard bootstrap color theme

Are you implying that you have the ability to upload a .css directly to the UI somehow? or how are you testing its effect on colors and boostraps default classes & color themes? are you talking about stylus with this or something else? cuz i went into enterprise.lemmy.ml and the theme selector seems to have the same themes as this one, maybe i'm missing something.
