Imo, #Friendica will have a better adoption if it will also have a theme that looks like the #Facebook's one.



For those who don't know, you can also change how your interface looks by going to Settings > Display and then the 1st two sections. The problem is that there are generally only two options:

  • Frio - which is the default, but some people find it rather dated, and
    [li] Vier - which, despite its description, looks kinda more dated than Frio and with less custom color options



This is clearly not ideal when people are looking for a more minimalistic interface, that looks more like the one brought up by platforms like Xitter, Reddit or even current day Facebook.

I found two repositories on GitHub with some Friendica themes (here and here), but they seem way more outdated as well (even though some of them seem cool even today). trom.tf also has some cool themes that they made, starting from the default Frio one.

Given that themes can be selected by a user from a simple drop-down in the settings, I think having a more Facebook-like theme at hand would really be a boon to Friendica's adoption given these times, what do you think?

I'll be honest, Friendica themes I see on the web look like shit. They're all dated or barebones. Thank God themes can easily be created using CSS, so a rather modern Facebook UI theme shouldn't be *that* hard to make. I might look into it this weekend, we can't have people join a place that looks like *this* in 2025:

Wait until you see the ones on the linked GitHub repositories lol. These are some cool 2006 shit lmao (they're still too 2006 tho).

I like to cope on the fact that my profile looks rather decent, but I get what you're saying

Theme hasn't been touched in 12 years... 🤔
