@joelhamill I’m currently using Kiko with custom CSS. I really love Hello, but get bummed every time I see it not support On This Day.

@joelhamill Typewriter with some CSS and theme template tinkering - want a fairly plain text-based and old fashioned look … until I change my mind ;)

@joelhamill kiko with some CSS here and there. I have tried them all Kiko, Marfa and Hello being my favorites but always end up back to kiko eventually

@TheDimPause Thanks! To me the ability to change the way your site looks easily with a theme is one of the benefits of micro.blog.

@gregmoore Thanks for sharing! I do like the darker sites that I have been seeing lately. They are more relaxing on the eyes imho.

@Gabz Thanks! I am going to guess that the typography of your site is part of the CSS since it varies slightly from the other Kiko sites I’ve seen. I do like the dark background, but am not really a fan of the line between posts.

@mroutley Thanks! I like the simplicity of Lanyon as well. That may be what I choose to try next.

@joelhamill The CSS I used for Kiko found it here around my forst year here in Mb. I have modified this over the years in many ways, including removing the lines in between.

@joelhamill The dark mode is very easy to add since it’s a Micro.blog plugin. It’s a nice consideration to not blind visitors reading at night.

@Gabz Thanks for the link to the CSS. I’ve added it to my todo list to review it.

@gregmoore Indeed. I’ve already added it to my site. It was super simple, just click a button, which is always nice when you’re just trying things to see how they work/look.
