Is there a way to have Lemmy instances render in wide-screen mode (sort of like old reddit or older themes of Wikipedia)? I really dislike the default look of everything being in the center with tons of blank space on both sides (I use 1440p monitors).
For what it’s worth, I came up with the following Stylus css script to work on the lemmy.ml (also works on github.com for what it’s worth if you so choose):
.container,
.container-lg,
.container-md,
.container-sm,
.container-xl {
max-width: 2560px !important;
}
.col-md-8 {
flex: 0 0 85% !important;
max-width: 85% !important;
}
.col-md-4 {
flex: 0 0 15% !important;
max-width: 15% !important;
}
Can just adjust max-width under the .container* options to whatever you want (I chose to set it to my monitor’s width). The col-md-8 and col-md-4 are for the main content and sidebar respectively, so I have main content at 85% of the width and sidebar at 15% of the width. Result looks similar to this: https://i.imgur.com/FMAZYbh.png
Published my style here for use on Stylus: https://userstyles.world/style/10168/1440p-lemmy
I can see your point but I also don’t like having to move my head by 45° from right to left everytime a line wraps.
Would be cool if you’d share the script 😄
I managed to get something working (not really used to CSS editing) with a custom Stylus css: https://i.imgur.com/FMAZYbh.png
Basically I put these into a Stylus style, still trying to figure out how to make it only affect Lemmy.ml domains but got a happy accident where it affects Github too so might keep it like this lol
Just adjust max-width under the .containers to whatever size you desire (this really should be a user settable option) and I got the col-md-8 and col-md-4 options set to 80% (for main content) and 20% (for the sidebar content).
.container,
.container-lg,
.container-md,
.container-sm,
.container-xl {
max-width: 2560px !important;
}
.col-md-8 {
flex: 0 0 80% !important;
max-width: 80% !important;
}
.col-md-4 {
flex: 0 0 20% !important;
max-width: 20% !important;
}
