NiléaneFun fact: 20% of the CSS I've written for Tangerine UI is about fixing Mastodon's icon alignments 🤓
Most recent example is that infuriating "x" button next to a recent search.
Renaud Chaput@nileane Would you be open to upstream those fixes?
Roni Rolle Laukkarinen@nileane Stole this, thanks! You should still push the relevant changes to upstream as pull requests if it benefits the core. My own changes been quite radical so there is very few to actually contribute in. It would be a fun project to rewrite and propose the SCSS/CSS stack of Mastodon to a more manageable version but that might be for another life. At least this way you and I can do good WHILE doing our own things.
I've seen many of the alignment issues are due to use of icon fonts instead of SVG assets, that's why been replacing them one by one in #MastodonBirdUI.

@rolle @nileane Yes, I am very open to helping you make changes upstream.
I know the CSS is a mess, but I would like to improve this, move the styles into more component-based files, use CSS custom properties…
Feel free to ping me directly if you want to try to bring improvements :)
I will also look at replacing the webfont for icons with SVGs, this is on my todolist :)
