Theme update

[elegaanz]

So far:

• Ligther colors
• No more border radius
• Buttons are now always colored
• Fix weird margin with CWed images
• Add a border to quotes
• Start to redesign the post page (according to the Figma mockups)
  • Full-size cover image, with a gradient and the title/subtitle/authors/date over it
  • Like/boost are now between tags and author info
  • Author info has a difference background color to make a difference between the different sections
  • Tags and license are now side-by-side

As I started it, this redesign is not perfectly following what was done on Figma (for instance lighter colors were not planned), but I'm open to discussion if you think Figma mockups should be better respected.

It is available at https://pr-553.joinplu.me/ if you want to see how it looks like. You can login with admin/admin123 to see all the pages.

Perhaps main article's max-width should be a bit wider? 40rem is quite narrow. Optimal readability would suggest making it somewhere between 45-75 characters, which can be represented by the ch unit in CSS. So I would propose perhaps making the rule max-width: 70ch instead of max-width: 40rem

[trwnh]

Also the main header and main header > img are way too tall, and should each have a max-height of no more than calc(100vh - $heightOfBodyHeader) -- this allows the header to not be bigger than the browser viewport.

[elegaanz]

So… I tried to limit the height of the illustration, but it is impossible to do it without losing the ratio or a part of the image. I don't know what should be done: hide some a portion of the illustration if it is too big, or give the responsibility to author to provide images in reasonable dimensions?

Someone also proposed to have an option that could be enabled to limit the height of the header (by hiding some of the image) if you want to be sure to never have giant images. So that can be a solution too.

[trwnh]

I think fitting is better than cropping. You can either accept the ratio loss inherent to cover-fit, or you can cap the max-width of the image/header (in addition to the max-height). That style of header image can be seen in Ghost, for example: https://demo.ghost.io/welcome/

[marek-lach]

This is a great change. I only propose changing the main purple color of links from the current hex code of #7765E3 to something like #887ADE, #8D80DE, or perhaps #9784CB, because on very light backgrounds, it's very hard to see, as shown bellow:

[elegaanz]

@marek-lach Even with another shade of purple the contrast was quite poor, so I made it white, but with underlining when you pass your cursor over it to make you understand it is a link.

Maybe under the About this instance link in the footer, there could also be a Privacy policy link. It would help to fill up the empty space there a little bit.

As per what the `Privacy policy' page itself could contain, just basic stuff could be something like:

If you are browsing this site as a visitor, your IP address is collected by the server for moderation purposes.
As a registered user, you also have to provide your username (which does not have to be your real name), your functional email address and a password, in order to be able to log in, write articles and comment. The content you submit is stored until you delete it.

[elegaanz]

I added it. I just changed a bit your text, because we don't actually collect IP addresses, and I added a part about which cookies we are using.

Sure 👍

In that case the line As a registered user, you also have to provide your username, doesn't need the also in it.

[trinity-1686a]

I think this should be a default privacy policy only, and should be editable easily by admins (probably in a future pr, this one is supposed to be about design). While we don't store much (no ip, no cookies when not logged in...), most reverse proxy configuration will log at least user ip.

[trinity-1686a]

this would require fixing merge conflict before validation

👍
