Who is inspired to make an LCARS theme for this sub??
One of the wonderful things about lemmy/free and open source software like this is that nobody would be forced to use an LCARS theme, under settings a user can change what theme they want lemmy to display in. So… really we can go all out here!
I provided a link to some lemmy themes to give people an idea of the possibilities.
(I am not an admin or anything here, of course the people running startrek.website would need to agree to install the theme on the server side but I figured I would throw the idea out there!)
My initial reaction was that LCARS would be amazing, but after reading this response, this is the true, inclusive Star Trek way to do it.
You’re over thinking it. The theme only needs to be inspired by LCARS, not 1:1 recreate the on screen experience.
So some secondary colors, some nostalgic font choices, and creative liberal use of rounded corners would be a good non-invasive first step.
While I have no experience theming for Lemmy, I’ve done theming for phpBB for some personal projects. With the staff’s blessing, I wouldn’t mind taking a stab at it.
You can basically have as many themes as you want in a Lemmy instance. You can have a decent accessible theme as default, but sprinkle some nostalgia in a few other options users can choose if they want.
