Instead of the current, hardcoded themes, it might be nice to allow users to upload their own themes (only for their account). That should be pretty easy to implement, and would give a lot more customization options without bothering us devs.

Maybe allow users to customize the theme within lemmy and allow them to export the settings?
You mean include a CSS editor in Lemmy? That sounds way too complicated.
Like.. DDG has a theme customiser https://duckduckgo.com/settings#appearance If its too complicated, then it alright.
PleromaFE includes that already. Not just a CSS editor but a frontend for it where the user don't need to know what is even CSS.
There's already an easy way to do that, check the theming guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/client_development/theming.html
It also lacks certain themes that would be useful for accessibility purposes. Having them explicitly labeled for the condition could help.
Most definity! I am DeafBlind so I understands this as well! :)
My personal view: I don't think they get in the way too much because you only need to choose the setting once. Maybe some people use the sketch theme, or i386? And that's enough, right?
I really like some of the themes please don't remove them just add some more ones
Theming guide here if anyone wants to contribute more themes.
cool never seen that before will look at it later
im on mobile how do i find these other themes? ive found: light, dark, and system where are these other themes? id like to customize the app.
If you are lemmur app, then you only get dark and light. Use the web app/lemmy.ml site to get access to these themes. Its in your profile page.
Somewhat unrelated, but I always liked how reddit supported custom css for subreddits. It would be cool to see that here one day.
cool yeah, but i can't say many of them needed up looking particularly great ๐
