Maybe I'm alone here, but I'm finding this new pink skin basically impossible to read. Aside from the color, I just find how the threads are stacked hard to follow. I have to switch to "light" every time I come here, which is kind of a pain. Is there any way we could switch back to what we had? Or to something else?

There are things I don't like about it, but imo it's way better on mobile than the default skin, which does some real weird things with link sizing.

You're not alone. I like the current colors much better than the ones the mods had on yesterday, but the wide vertical spacing and serif font are both majorly harshing my browsing experience.

body {
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
}

would fix half of that, if mods are amenable.

Oh I see why the vertical spacing didn't get fixed.

Here, instead of

.entry-wrapper, .comment-wrapper {
position: relative;
}

do

.entry-wrapper, .comment-wrapper {
position: relative;
border-bottom: none;
margin-bottom: 0;
}

I didn't realize those properties were being set somewhere they weren't easily deleted.

Thanks, anon! I'm hopeless with CSS so I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

No prob! Now to figure out how best to make the text less enormous, gimme a minute :P

I guess just add it to the body:

body {
font-size: .9em;
}

You could also go with .8, they both seem reasonable.

and if you want post titles to stay larger,

.full .comment-title {
font-size: 1.2em;
}

adjust the decimal to your liking.

This can be changed in the Fonts section, no need to muck with CSS, so I've done it.

I was like "What's wrong with the text size, it looks fine," but then I changed it and it was SO MUCH better. Thanks!

I've changed the fonts but I'm not sure I see much of a difference ...and I'm an idiot and did it on my journal instead of the community. Hope this works better!

I came back here after a week or so and yeah, this is basically unreadable to me. It's too bright and there's too much padding. I would rather have the default site theme.

Unfortunately, the default site theme doesn't allow the use of custom CSS, meaning spoiler cuts won't work. If it helps, the navbar at the top of the page has a "site" link that will reload the page in the site theme.

Thanks for the tip (that might sound sarcastic but I'm sincere).

Can you change the background color back to #f7f7f7 at least? The pure white and very bright pink really strain my eyes, even when I turn the brightness down and enable f.lux.

DA thinks #f7f7f7 looks really bad with the way things are now, but you could probably get away with #fcfcfc.
