Things Themes for Arctic

dub.sh /arcticthingsdarkdl

I've maintained a fairly prolific habit of "adapting" the color palettes of Cultured Code's Things 3 (light and dark) for the various software in which I spend most of my time.

I was excited to have another opportunity to do so, recently, for my favorite Lemmy client!

Edit: Light version finally added! Sorry for the delay.

Dark

(The theme files below should be openable directly in Arctic, cross-platform.)

  • Really like the theme, looks perfect for someone with aging eyesight light myself. đź‘Ť

  • This looks fantastic! I’d love to include this as a default theme option when you complete the light mode variant. However, I’ll need to make a few UI updates to include credit.

    I had an idea to add a section to the theme definition file that allows linking a Lemmy profile for credit and possibly a brief description.

    I haven’t had the chance to build the theme browser for hosting user themes yet. I’m honestly not sure if there’s much demand for it.

    • So glad to hear it! Don't worry about attribution in my case, though - consider these CC0. I just took screenshots and used a color picker tool on them hehe. (I might be insane - you'd think I'd remember the hex values by now - but I do it every time I set out to make another adaptation.)

      This is just the incentive I needed to finally focus on the light version... Will shoot for replying here with it before the end of the week. :)
