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 got some basic theming set up at my magazine after looking up what CSS is.
Nice gradient!
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);
}
Looks good!
