Why is no one using CSS to make their magazine’s visual appearances more unique? That was the main draw of old Reddit for me.

(I mean I am, but that is why I asked)

    Can you share your code for that? It looks really good! If you’re okay with it, I’d like to copy it and tweak a bit for my own magazine.

      Edit: Added a comment and updated the option bar to match the navbar.
      Sure, here you go! I’ve never done anything like this before so it’s probably a formatting disaster, but I’ve done my best to clean it a bit and add some comments about what does what here. This is what I’ve come up with after a few hours of just poking around with the inspect element feature and reading some tutorials:

      /* Navbar */
      #header {
      background: linear-gradient(to top right, rgba(229, 0, 32, .8) , rgba(242, 151, 57, .8));
      box-shadow: 0px 4px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
      backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
      position: relative; z-index: 4001
      }

      /* Page background image */
      #middle {
      background: url(https://toaru-project.com/railgun_t/core_sys/images/main/common/logo_t.svg) no-repeat center center fixed;
      background-size: contain;
      }

      /* Post box transparency */
      .section {
      opacity: 0.96;
      }

      /* kbin footer background */
      #footer {
      background: linear-gradient(to top right, rgba(229, 0, 32, 1) , rgba(242, 151, 57, 1));
      }

      /* The little arrow button in the bottom right that takes you back to the top of the page */
      #scroll-top {
      background: linear-gradient(to top right, rgba(229, 0, 32, .8) , rgba(242, 151, 57, .8));
      box-shadow: 0px 4px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
      backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
      }

      /* Options bar */
      #options {
      background: linear-gradient(to top right, rgba(229, 0, 32, .8) , rgba(242, 151, 57, .8));
      box-shadow: 0px 4px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
      backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
      position: relative
      }

      /* upvote color */
      .vote .active.vote__up button {
      color: rgba(242, 151, 57);
      }

      /* Media viewer background blur */
      .goverlay {
      background: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
      backdrop-filter: blur(15px);
      }
