[UserScript] Lemmy_monkey - a full restyle in the spirit of old.reddit - updated for Lemmy v0.18 - eviltoast

Just an FYI post for folks who are new or recently returning to Lemmy, I have updated the linked grease/tamper/violentmonkey script for Lemmvy v0.18.

These two scripts (a compact version and a large thumbnail version) substantially rearrange the default Lemmy format.

These are (finally) relatively stable for desktop/widescreen. Future versions will focus a little more on the mobile/handheld experience.

These are theme agnostic and should work with darkly and litely (and variants) themes.

    So nice ! I was trying to make one to expand the page and use this 40% left-right margin on my screens, Thank you !

    Here are my personal adaptations:

    - Commented font-size for titles: I didn’t like having them as small as the text

    CSS code 
    /* post title font size*/
.h5, h5 {
    /*font-size: 1rem !important;*/
    margin-bottom: 0.1rem !important;
}

    .
    - Added a class for posts without image or links to have a thumbnail without the gray background, to dissociate them from links (that are from my point of view, too similar looking to text only posts)

    - Also changed how I display images in thumbnail (I prefer to see the whole image resized down with no crop, even if hardly anything may be readable on the thumbnail)

    CSS code 
    .thumbnail {
    object-fit: scale-down; /* instead of "cover" */
    background-color: #333;
}

/* Remove gray background for only-messages posts thumbnails */
.post-media a[href^="/post/"] .thumbnail {
    background-color: unset !important;
}
