Tangerine UI for Mastodon 🍊🐘
README still a WIP
Tangerine UI is a UI redesign I made for Mastodon's Web interface, using only pure CSS.
Turn your Mastodon web UI into a friendlier place. Tangerine features a soft orange palette, a bubblier look, and a more compact timeline that should be easier on your eyes. Also, Tangerine UI supports both dark and light modes.
How to use
Tangerine UI is contained in a single CSS file.
To use on your instance, simply copy & paste the contents of TangerineUI-single-colum.css to the Custom CSS field in the administration panel on your Mastodon instance (Navigate to https://your instance domain/admin/settings/appearance).
If you're not an admin, you can still use Tangerine UI using a userstyle browser extension (ie. Stylish).
Things to know
- This is still pretty early, I'm not a professional designer, and this is a personal project, so things might not be styled properly in some places. Feel free to message me if you notice anything wonky though :)
- Tangerine UI currently only supports the single column layout. The advanced view (multiple columns) will not be affected.
- Tangerine UI auto-switches from light to dark mode based on your OS preference, whether you set your Mastodon theme to Mastodon (Dark) or Mastodon (Light).
- Check your Mastodon instance version before using. The latest Mastodon release checked to be compatible is indicated in the CSS file header.
- Glitch-soc and Hometown instance admins beware: Tangerine UI is currently only meant to be applied to Mastodon's vanilla Dark and Light theme.
- I have not yet adapted Tangerine to Mastodon's High Contrast theme setting. Please consider this if one or multiple of your users depend on it.
Credits
Huge thanks to Roni Laukkarinen whose work on Mastodon Bird UI I adapted for multiple parts of the redesign. The icon replacement implementations I have also adapted from Bird UI.
