This is primarily for desktop clients. At the moment, formatting get a little crazy below 1280 px wide. There are ways to address this, but I have not at this time.
-
script will be updated as suggested
- significant changes have been made to address alignment, spacing, and other format issues. v1.1 will be where I stop for a while.
-
there are two script versions: old.reddit and old.reddit.compact. The primary difference is that the “compact” version greatly reduces thumbnail size and padding space.

notice: current script unblurs NSFW
(linked thumbnail shows old.reddit.compact version of the script)

Awesome work! Would it be possible to add the “expand image/video/text” button from RES? Preferably with the option to increase/decrease the size of images by dragging with the mouse.
I’m talking about these: https://imgur.com/a/1yH5FTN
That would perfect my experience!
Here’s a userscript that auto-expands images: https://sh.itjust.works/post/164735 it’s nice because it keeps the scripts a little more single-purpose so that if one malfunctions, the other stays working. Incorporating all of the things would be perfect for a plug-in, which is being discussed.
It looks really cool but the side margins are waaay too small for my taste. I tried putting some little 1rem margins back in the container css but that gave a bad bottom scrollbar (which is the most annoying on the communities list). It’s getting late and there is work tomorrow but I might look into it more later.
I believe I’ve remedied this issue, if you want to take another look at it. link to script here: https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey
If you are using greasemonkey, I suggest appending
#.user.jsto the end of the github raw url and then reloading the page, this should allow the css to be installed by greasemonkey and automatically updated.BTW, I love your themes but I haven’t been using them cuz I have a very wide screen, it’s like 80cm ez, and the margins are necessary lol, maybe i’ll add some surround margins to the compact theme to create a version that works 4 me.
how big we talking in pixels? I can add some more @media tags (probably)
3440px wide

dats beeeg. ok thx
When you get a free moment, check out one of the script updates here: https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey/tree/dev-Lemmy-v0.17.
I’ve cleaned up a lot of things and added a big-screen handler around line 120. Perhaps you can experiment with the width as you like and let me know what works.

I don’t want to pat myself on the back TOO hard, but I just browsed through 44 pages of content and it was SO NICE and easy on the eyes.
The widescreen really makes a difference.
modded you
Nice, thanks. Not sure I’ll want to stay a mod if this picks up however :D
lol why not?
and leaving is ez, there’s a “leave mod team” button on the sidebar below the community name
I have way too many responsibilities as it is, can’t add another in good conscience, that’s all
alright, no problem :)
Nah man you can pat yourself. My 4k resolution is finally utilized and I am very happy with how almost everything looks.
Some community headers get scaled pretty wonky, for example in https://sh.itjust.works/c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world but thats a small price to pay for more visual clarity overall.
Thank you for the great work!
I added a line to restrict the banner width to a lemmy-native 730px - this should keep banner images looking as intended… Check out the update and see if that fixes the issue. (link for good order: https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey)
Wow that was fast! Although I’m not 100% sure its better (for high-res at least).
Here’s how it looks for me on a 3840x2160 resolution and 110% zoom:
But I think I understand the technical reasons beyond your change. It should be universally applicable and not just on 4k res.
I think it still would look best if the banner is spanning the whole top, maybe up to the community-sidebar on the right (1) or even beyond that (2). I tried to highlight 1 & 2 in this poor greenshot cap :)
Anyway, thanks for your great work!!
I think having a slim banner is better, because it takes away less precious space on smaller screens. Remember that not everyone has huge monitors, many use web browsers on laptops and the like.
Oh my gosh this is amazing. Thank you for this.
it’s great!
nice job so far.
Communities page (both list and search) need some margins.
Issue (hopefully) resolved. v0.8 available on github: https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey/blob/main/old.reddit
