Oh man... just found that the "MASTO 95" theme is the correct way to use this site.

@Rairii @dafthack can someone explain where to get themes and how to use them pls?
Show threadRairii Nov 12, 2022
@herrkaschke @dafthack they're under settings->flavours
Show threadherrkaschkeNov 12, 2022
@Rairii @dafthack i have read that before but in mastodon (Web or App) is no Settings and no Flavours. There is only Preferences and Appearance with three premade ones
Show threadRairii Nov 12, 2022
@herrkaschke @dafthack ok, then maybe flavours is a glitchsoc thing (my server runs glitchsoc which is a mastodon fork).
Show threadherrkaschkeNov 12, 2022
@Rairii @dafthack i think its a server-side theme, where the admin sets the design not the user itself i think. Thank you for getting back
Show threadRairii Nov 12, 2022
@herrkaschke @dafthack Yeah, server admin sets the available themes. I know masto95 is included in glitchsoc though.
Show threadherrkaschkeNov 12, 2022
@Rairii @dafthack ok. there is also another way using a chrome plugin but its paid to change the personal view
Show threadatomicwritesNov 18, 2022
@herrkaschke @Rairii @dafthack Probably wouldn't hurt to ask your server admin if they'd add it.

Oh booger, I lack that setting. Maybe it's in the newer version of Mastodon.

I'd *love* a MacOS system 6 theme ^___^

@esi @dafthack Thanks for sharing that 😉

Do you know how to get that win95 skin for Mastodon? Can we find it in this repo as well?
Show threadEsiNov 12, 2022

@szkodnix @dafthack I personally don't know. But if i am not mistaken there are usually 2 ways to set up a theme for Mastodon. One is for an instance admin to find it and install it, and you can then select it in preferences. The instance I am on for example has several themes available.

Second method is (i could be wrong though) to find the theme you want to use and copy the css into some custom css browser extension.

I tried searching for that masto95 theme but couldn't find it though.
