 * What's your deadline (could be date, could be Fedora release milestone)
  * There is no set deadline on when this has to be done, but sooner than
 later is always preferred.
  * Maybe a good tentative deadline is by the Fedora 24 release, when we
 will have a large influx of traffic to the subreddit?

 * Who's the developer writing the code (IRC nick + email + wiki profile
 page URL)
  * Not decided.
  * I'm submitting this ticket because I noticed /u/ryanlerch sent modmail
 to the moderators of /r/Fedora many months ago about possibly pursuing
 this as a project. Depending on his availability, he might be interested
 to take this on.

 * If you can, please provide us with example URLs of web designs that are
 similar to the result you're looking for
  * Good examples are many other common Linux subreddits. The /r/Ubuntu
 subreddit is a good example of what is possible, and a few others are
 linked below.
  * https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/
  * https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/ (I personally love the design of
 this subreddit)
  * https://www.reddit.com/r/GetMotivated/ (another modern + flat UI)

 * What type of web project is this?
  * As far as I know, customizing a subreddit is all CSS, confirmation
 needed.

 * Wireframes or mockups for a website / web application
  * None at the moment…

 * Is this for a new or existing site (if existing, provide URL)? Do you
 need CSS/HTML for the design?
  * Existing. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/
  * CSS.

 * Information design diagrams and flow charts for planning or reorganizing
 a web site / app
  * N/A

 * Provide a link to the theming documentation if available
  * https://www.reddit.com/wiki/styling
  * https://howtoreddit.wordpress.com/subreddits/create-your-own
 /customizing-your-subreddit/ (unofficial)

 * Other information
  * I was recently promoted as a subreddit moderator by ianweller (the only
 other active moderator on the subreddit). To gain privileges to actually
 editing the stylesheets for the subreddit, either one of us could promote
 a member of the Design Team as a moderator of /r/Fedora to deploy the
 changes.
  * I think this would be an awesome project for us to pursue, although it
 is worth noting that our subreddit is an '''unofficial''' Fedora
site,
 similar to the Fedora Forums. However, it is a well-trafficked site
 representing our project, and having an attractive and modern design can
 help positively represent Fedora among current and potential users looking
 to learn more about Fedora, ask questions, or anything else regarding
 Fedora.

 Decided to play around with an old subreddit I still have access to.

 I'm happy to take this ticket unless ryanlerch wants it?

 I personally think
this looks awesome!! I could see this working very well
 as an awesome re-design. I also wonder if we should share the link with
 the subreddit to get feedback on the design? Not sure if that will attract
 the trolls, though…

 https://www.reddit.com/r/KMI/ Probably quite a few more things I could
 tweak. Ignore the footer.

 Looks good to me so far. My only comment of
suggestion is maybe changing
 the gold Reddit alien to the Fedora logo? It feels a little bit out of
 place to me with the rest of the theme.

 Otherwise, this looks awesome to me. I think it might also be good to have
 it reviewed at the weekly Design Team meeting as well before final
 deployment. Thanks for working on this, Micah!!

 Changed the reddit logo. Feedback from the meeting was positive.


 I've attached the images and CSS. Ping me if you have any issues with it.

 I actually just finished reading the logs right before I opened the ticket
 -- woohoo! I'm going to work on adding the changes today, refresh a little
 later and your design should be up. :) I'm going to keep the ticket open
 until I have our subreddit running with the theme. I also plan to ask for
 a little feedback too and see what our active Redditors think too.

 Thanks so much for working on this so quickly, Micah!! You seriously rock.

Comment (by jflory7):

 Hi Micah,

 Firstly, the overall response to redesign has been overwhelmingly
 positive. People love it! :)

 Someone pointed out an issue with the unwrapped "My subreddits" box and
 how it [https://i.imgur.com/HDNxaI8.png overlays the comment box]. Seems
 like a minor issue but would be nice to fix.

 Could you add,

 {{{
 .commentarea .usertext-edit textarea { z-index: 0; }
 }}}
 to the CSS.

 Added, waiting for feedback (I'm not subscribed to enough subreddits to
 test it). :P

Comment:

 Closing ticket.

 Overall, very positive feedback to the new theme. Micah put the source for
 the style on [https://github.com/micahdenn/fedora-reddit_theme GitHub] and
 this has been shared with participants in the subreddit. For now, we will
 aim to use the GitHub issue tracker for smaller adjustments or changes, as
 well as for PRs by anyone on the community.

 Thanks, Micah!!
