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. Things might not be styled properly in some places. Feel free to message me if you notice anything wonky!
  • Tangerine UI only supports the single column layout for now. The advanced view 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).

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.
