Firefox Capy UI 1.0.0 is now out. https://blog.ppb1701.com/capy-ui-releases https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/capy-ui/ #themes #firefox #capyui

Capy UI Releases

## Capy UI > A set of dark themes with Tricorn Black background and Electric Blue accents. Usually has a gradient background with subtle blue radial gradient if possible and where I can add it an adorable Capybara mascot logo. > > Got an idea for somewhere else to port Capy UI? Reach out to me on Mastodon. Firefox Capy UI 1.0.0 * Initial Release. * available on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/capy-ui/ Mastadon Capy UI 2.0.2 * 2.0.1: Restored star/heart favorite icon toggle to `layout-capy-ui-mastodon-4.6.css` — hearts are default, uncomment the marked block to use stars instead * 2.0.2: Fixed favorite button not showing as active after page refresh — active state rule was applying the inactive star icon instead of the filled yellow star * 2.0.2: Added `aria-pressed="true"` attribute selectors alongside `.active` class selectors for broader Mastodon version compatibility * 2.0.2: Fixed hover/focus circle off-center on action bar buttons — replaced hardcoded pixel offsets with proper CSS centering (`top:50%; left:50%; translate(-50%,-50%)`) * 2.0.3: Fixed favorite (heart) button vanishing after click animation — removed `forwards` fill mode from `heart-animate` sprite so icon doesn't freeze on the blank past-end frame * 2.0.3: Replaced old sprite-sheet animation with a simple `heart-pop` scale animation that keeps the heart icon visible and in place during activation * 2.0.3: Fixed counter-button heart icon jumping on page load — moved `position: absolute` rule from `html.no-reduce-motion` (JS-applied) to `.layout-single-column/.layout-multiple-columns` (always present) so no layout shift occurs during hydration Kagi Capy UI 1.1.0 * **AI / paywall result de-emphasis** — results bearing Kagi's `ai-stain-icon` have their text (titles, URLs, snippets, sub-listings) faded to 32% opacity so they recede visually while the red icon remains fully visible to explain why. Results with `paywall-icon` fade to 45% with the paywall icon rendered in green. Hovering either result type restores full opacity. Sub-results within a medium-hit card and adjacent `.sr-group` sibling groups are also covered. * The entire feature lives in the final CSS block; comment it out or delete it to disable one or both behaviors independently. * Inspired by this post from @kagihq. Pagecord Capy UI 1.0.0 * Radial electric blue gradient glow at the top of the page * Gradient text on the blog title * Rounded surfaces consistent with the Capy UI design language * Electric blue accent on links, blockquotes, focus rings, and scrollbar * Capy mascot inline after the blog title Visual Studio Capy UI 1.0.0 * **Dominant Electric Blue** : The signature `#1e80c7` color is used throughout for selections, active tabs, buttons, and links * **Comfortable Dark Background** : Easy on the eyes for extended coding sessions * **Syntax Highlighting** : Carefully crafted blue-centric palette with excellent readability * **Accessible Contrast** : Good contrast ratios for accessibility * **Complete Coverage** : Both UI colors and comprehensive syntax token colors * **Git Integration** : Clear diff and decoration colors * **Output Window Theming** : Fully themed output windows, error list, and tool windows Visual Studio Code Capy UI (VS Code Capy UI) 1.0.4 * Added to Open VSX marketplace and updated Readme to add instruction reference to it. Vivaldi Capy UI 2.0.0 * Electric Blue dark theme for Vivaldi browser, inspired by the Mastodon Capy UI and Kagi Capy UI themes Features a subtle radial gradient background and the adorable Capy mascot. Homepage CapyUI 1.0.0 * Port of Capy UI to homepage-dashboard. Was made for my use on my nixos/nixos2 homeservers. Expanded a little for others to use outside of my specific configs.

With thanks to @AlienJay for the recommendation, I have spent some time this evening setting up https://dockhand.pro/. It may take some time to see if it handles automatic updates of containers for me (and #Forgejo is a bit fiddly with that), but optimistic to see if it solves a problem for me.

Dockhand - Modern Docker Management

A powerful, intuitive Docker platform for everyone. Real-time container management, Compose stacks, Git deployments, and SSO - all free.

By the way, did you know you can also subscribe to Mastodon feeds via RSS? I know, right!! Check out this helpful guide from @FediTips to learn how: https://fedi.tips/following-mastodon-and-fediverse-accounts-through-rss/

RSS on Mastodon and the Fediverse

RSS feeds are simple, easy-to-use feeds of content from the internet, such as news articles, videos and podcasts. You can use RSS apps to follow Mastodon accounts, and use Mastodon accounts to follow RSS feeds. ## What is RSS? RSS is basically just a special kind of internet address that tells an RSS app where to find content. The apps used to follow RSS feeds are often called “feed readers” or “news readers”. When you enter an RSS address into an RSS app, the posts made by that address are shown in a chronological list. RSS feeds can work for all kinds of content including blogs, news sites, podcasts etc. (Most podcast apps are powered by RSS, even if they don’t publicly state this.) ## How to follow Mastodon accounts from an RSS feed reader app All Mastodon accounts have an RSS address which can be followed from RSS apps: 1. Go to a Mastodon account profile’s original page on a web browser. 2. Copy the web address from the browser’s address bar 3. Add .rss to the end of the web address to create the account’s RSS address 4. Add the account’s RSS address to your RSS app For example, the RSS feed for the FediTips account is https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips.rss ⧉. Note that the RSS feed of a Mastodon account only shows posts with public visibility, you will not see replies or posts with other visibilities. ## How to follow Mastodon hashtags from an RSS feed reader app The RSS feed of a hashtag on a server can be found by doing the following: 1. Go to the server’s website 2. Search for the hashtag 3. Click the hashtag from the suggestions list 4. Copy the hashtag’s web address and add .rss to the end to get its feed ## How to follow RSS feeds from Mastodon You can also now do this the other way around, and follow RSS feeds from your Mastodon account, thanks to a service called RSS Parrot ⧉: 1. Create a new post but don’t publish it yet 2. Mention the RSS Parrot Fediverse account _@birb@rss-parrot.net_ 3. Mention the RSS address you want to follow 4. Publish the post (it doesn’t have to be a public post, DMs will work as well) 5. RSS Parrot will create a new Fediverse account that mirrors the contents of the RSS address you provided, and then reply to you with a link to the new account 6. Follow this new account to follow the RSS feed This method works for any Fediverse platform that supports microblogging, including Mastodon and many other Fedi platforms. ## How to follow PeerTube Channels and Accounts from RSS apps You can follow any PeerTube accounts or channel through RSS apps: 1. Go to the channel’s or account’s profile page on PeerTube 2. Click the channel’s or account’s _Subscribe_ button (if you are logged in on that PeerTube server, click the little arrow on the right of the subscribe button instead) 3. There will be an RSS subscription option at the bottom of the subscription menu, click this to go to the RSS feed (which may look a bit crazy but don’t worry!) 4. Copy the address at the top of the browser to get the channel’s or account’s RSS address 5. Paste the RSS address into your RSS app This feed will deliver embedded videos to your feed reader and you can watch them there. ## Friendica: Champion of RSS The Fediverse platform Friendica has probably the best RSS support on the Fediverse, including a built-in feed reader which doesn’t need any third party services or apps. To follow an RSS feed in Friendica: 1. Paste the RSS address into the search box in Friendica 2. The RSS feed’s profile page will appear, click Follow 3. The RSS feed’s contents will start showing up in your main timeline as it is published, and will look like normal account posts Friendica also lets you turn RSS feeds into Fediverse accounts that people can follow from other Fediverse platforms. ↩ Back to the front page

It is very hard to tell if it is so quiet outside today because of the heatwave or because people are getting ready for a late night watching England play a game of association football later.

With the end of one working week, starts another with no work, for I have a very overdue week off. Relaxation is planned, but also various tasks to do and problems to solve. I am going to enjoy this.
