I want to create a theme, but if possible, not use Bootstrap v4 at all. This will reduce the CSS file to a minimum. It’s easier for me to work without Bootstrap. :frog:

On some pages:
/search,/community, etc. There is nothing that can be used to determine where I am.The only thing that can be used on all pages is .container, but this will make it possible to create only relatively simple layouts.
It will be quite difficult for us to create something like this:
If it were possible to do something to mark pages (sections), for example, this is done in the Discourse in the Body tag, for example. (
<body class="search-page">- for search page) it was possible to bring more possibilities for various design options.I don’t know how technically difficult it is until I get to this.
Demonstration of this point: https://github.com/Toxu-ru/lemmy-css-theme-easy
The amount of code can be significantly reduced if css properties exist, so you can “hook” to determine your location (page, section).
Please follow the instructions in the theming guide. This uses bootstrap v4, all the classes are very well defined already.
That’s why I asked if it is possible to refuse bootstrap v4.
But I still have a question.
On the central page, I can easily use these styles (in html) to highlight the central blog:
But what to do here?
https://lemmy.ml/communities
On this page, I can only use the
containerclass for the central blog, which cannot be used i.e. he is on other pages. If I set the background for him, then we will not be able to select the sidebar, for example, on the central one, as in my example.The question is no longer about Bootstrap, but about classes to which I cannot bind. You noticed that all topics are almost the same. The reason is this. If there was the class that I ask, it would be possible to diversify the design. And so, we can now only change the background and color of the text.
Those. Our options are very limited with or without Bootstrap.
You have to use bootstrap v4 classes, I’m not going to re-write the whole thing to use custom classes. Its literally plug and play, build a bootstrap v4 theme, and it’ll work with lemmy.
col-12etc should not be styled, they’re part of bootstraps grid system. Neither should container.I don’t want to add a ton of custom classes, and thus force everyone in the future to use them.
Please just use https://bootstrap.build/ or another site to build a theme.
I’m understood, thank you. I will watch what can be done with Bootstrap.
No probs, just let me know if you need any assistance. That bootstrap.build page does make it very easy to build a theme, but there are other bootstrap v4 theme creators out there.
