earl-grey

Elegant dark theme for Gitea.

I mostly bruteforced which colors to change by inspecting every element with undesirable colors, and I ended up with a theme that I'm quite proud of. However, it will definitely have a lot of bugs, please report them and fix them!

It's really easy to fix color inconsistencies, just use a color picker to get the color, then Inspect Element and go to the styling section. There, CTRL+F and search for the color (note that the letters must be lowercase, the colors whose letters aren't lowercase are most likely added by me)

Installation

1. To install, first check your CustomPath by visiting the admin panel of your instance.

Mine is /var/lib/gitea//custom. You'll need to create 3 directories. Something like /var/lib/gitea/custom/public/css should be your final structure.

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/acoolstraw/earl-grey

2. Move theme-earl-grey.css into the public/css directory cp earl-grey/theme-earl-grey.css /var/lib/gitea/custom/public/css/

3. Add (or replace) the following to your app.ini:

[ui]
DEFAULT_THEME = earl-grey
THEMES        = gitea,arc-green,earl-grey

5. Clean up rm -r earl-grey

Development

Gitea uses Less for styling, keep that in mind when contributing. And you must contribute to earl-grey.less, because that's what's being made into theme-earl-grey.css
