I'm hoping one of the developers can help point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to create a theme, and I started by downloading the litely.scss
and _variables.litely.scss
files from the github repo. I renamed the files and made some changes, and then used https://bootstrap.build to generate a css
file. I dropped that file (along with my scss
files) into the extra_themes
directory on my server.
Sure enough, my new theme was available in the list of available themes. However, when I applied the theme, I found that the layout was broken (see screenshot).
So, my question is: how can I generate the css
file in the proper manner so as not to break the layout? Is there a specific Bootstrap tool that we should be using to generate the css
? Are there additional input files that need to be included in order to generate the correct css
?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
I think I have this figured out. See my post on it here: https://tkohhh.social/post/4829
nice! are you sure 5.3.0 is the right version? The wiki says they use v4, but my theme is very broken right now, and I wonder if the fact it’s using v4 is the reason.
No, I don't know exactly what version lemmy is using... but I know that version 5.3 works. I had read elsewhere that lemmy 0.18 began using bootstrap 5.2 or something like that. What's written on the wiki is definitely wrong.
Oh, thank you, I gotta update then.
