The discussion revolves around the Daemonite Material Theme: Ample layout adjustments, a theme component aimed at enhancing the visual layout of the Daemonite Material Theme. amotl introduced the theme to offer a bolder appearance with larger fonts and elements, while optimizing mobile display by reducing certain font sizes. Key changes include larger category titles, bigger avatars, increased topic post width, and smaller topic titles on the topic page. amotl shared screenshots illustrating these adjustments. The theme is hosted on GitHub and currently has no configuration settings. amotl also demonstrated how the theme integrates with the Category Badge Adjustment Component. The discussion then shifted to compatibility issues with Safari 12.0.2, where the theme did not render properly. amotl requested the discussion be moved to a separate topic, which was done by @Johani. amotl tested the theme on Safari 11.1 and 12.0 via BrowserStack and found it to work reasonably well, seeking further input from @_vincent. amotl confirmed switching back to the default theme to investigate another issue. 楚人西 noted an issue with the system avatar display.
Tweak the general layout of the Daemonite Material Theme towards slightly bolder appearance, mainly by using larger font sizes and element dimensions. On the other hand, decrease some font sizes to optimize display for mobile.
Background
This was spawned while working on implementing the Daemonite Material Theme on another Discourse instance the other day. While it’s only some minor amendments to CSS, we just wrapped it up and packaged it to help others with similar requirements. Also, it might spawn a discussion about whether and how to incorporate this into the original theme.
When combining this with some other tweaks using the Category badge adjustment component, which is basically about making the corners of the category badges less rounded and emphasizing the category label, you will get these results:
Bummer. This indeed works fine with Safari Version 11.0.3, the only one available to me. Haven’t been able to look at this through Safari 12.x yet.
I would like to avoid spamming the main topic when working on this, so could someone from the Discourse team please divert this discussion (i.e. the last three topic items) to Daemonite Material Theme: Ample layout adjustments? Thanks!
This looks reasonably good to me. Do you have an idea what could have gone wrong? Do you have more details about your devices or setup, if this might actually matter resolving this issue? I feel a bit silly now.
