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!
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.
