Thanks to @Mtt & @rcrackley, I’m now using a different and quite nice Micro.blog theme for the first time in many years! I’m quite happy with the final results. Hope that you enjoy the change as much as I do!
PS. There are a few things that I’d like to tweak, but that will be for another day!
@numericcitizen Looking pretty good! How'd you implement the icon set that puts the Micro.blog icon in the conversation button?
@numericcitizen Nice, glad you were able to get things working. If you want the reply by email button, you can just install the plugin and everything should work and be styled appropriately.
@Mtt thanks! Where do you set the blue background behind the webpage during scroll down of the page in Safari, at the very top?
@jarrod I'm using a FontAwsome plugin ans come CSS style customization… but I'm not sure about the last part… ask @rcrackley maybe? or @Mtt
@jarrod The icon is from FontAwesome, so you just have to install the plugin and then use a "before" subclass.
a.conversation-on-mb::before {
font-family: FontAwesome;
content: '\e01a';
margin-right: 5px;
}
Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
@numericcitizen You can currently do it by using a custom theme on top. BUT, I would hold off on that for a couple days. There's an update I hope to push out this week to make it easier.
@numericcitizen TBH, I learned most of what I know by playing around with Micro.blog. I would just see another blogger did and try and replicate it on my Micro.blog test account or in Blot. I also took a Udemy course one time.
@Mtt Oh, thanks! let's expand on this idea of a plugin customizing a base visual theme. Why not add the following: button colors, background images, etc.?
@numericcitizen All of those changes can be made within the CSS editor of Micro.blog. The browser color requires a plugin to change (or a child theme).
@numericcitizen Unfortunately, CSS is the driving force of modern web design. There is a use-case for color picker and drop down style editing, but the platform isn’t in that place yet.
