Update : there is a poll about how you want to desatived customized community by mods. Please voice your ideas ;) https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1956838/how-do-you-want-disabling-community-themes-to-work


Hi !

With the update of that allows mods to change their community theme, i just wrote a wiki page that browse almost all Piefed customization options for users.

There is some rough edge but it is mostly complete. The profile section lacks some details :

With the CSS, you can remove vote button, emojis reaction, the logo of your instance, change font, change theme and also create a new theme...

Look what you can get when you play around. :3

The most difficult thing is to find the css name attributed to : body text, title, buttons… if we want to change it.

To find this css name, we do a “reverse engenering " by reading the website source code.

Yup this is what I had issues with. I found the correct info in the view page source thing but for whatever reason couldn't get (all) the things working as intended. But your wiki helped, I now have the colors set to how I like. Thanks :)
