This update has a LOT of changes and fixes in it! I think I got in everything everyone who gave me feedback asked for (check the README file "Changelog" section for details). Lots of attention paid to making buttons, tabs, and drop-down appearance consistent, and lots of new CSS variables for customization plus a new option for customizing Bookface (more on that in a moment).
Bookface 1.8 has been tested with both the current stable 2024.12 and 2025.7 Release Candidate versions.
The most obvious change you'll probably notice is that the responses below posts and comments now look completely different:
And below an Event Post:
If multiple people engaged with the post in a certain way you no longer have to click the count to see the list, it's a popover that appears on hover (active on touch devices). This is a lot cleaner and more consistent with how these are displayed on other social media platforms.
You'll also notice that the Main Menu missing icons are in place. This is a change that's coming in the next Friendica release anyway, but Bookface lets you have it right now:
Someone specifically asked whether the main navigation buttons could have labels on them:
I didn't turn it on by default, but nav button labels are now coded into Bookface and if you're using CSS variable customization they're easy to turn on:
:root {
--show-navbar-labels: block;
}
The label text is also customizable. Until now the only way to implement such customizations was either for a server admin to manually put them into the header or footer sitewide or for individual users to put them in a user content stylesheet just for your web browser. That's why I'm also releasing a new Friendica addon called "Bookface Custom" that, if your server admin installs it, allows you to customized every one of the Bookface CSS variables to your heart's content.
Oh, and it's a little thing, but if you did bother to go the trouble of self-verifying your account I restyled the "verified checkmark" in the profile aside 😉:
Good work! I updated Bookface for Friendica.World.
One remark, when trying to write this comment, I tried clicking the 'comment' icon, moving the mouse from below. The new popup for the list of people that liked the post, blocked the comment button. I don't know if there's a solution for this..
Yes, I was concerned about that but couldn't come up with a decent solution to prevent it. I thought about using negative margins and padding to swap the positions of the Action Buttons and Responses, but making that work across all screen sizes and for both regular posts and event posts is tricky. The popup list would still be triggered by a mouseover but at least it wouldn't cover the Action Button. I'll keep playing with it and see if I can get it to work consistently. I can always revert it to the way it was in a future release if this turns out to be too much of a usability issue.
Main branch updated to 1.8.1 to fix "Notices" navbar label not using CSS variable. Not an issue for anyone who isn't using Navbar Labels, which are not enabled by default.
If you don't want to wait for the next release the Main branch should always be the most current as people point out things to me and I fix them on GitLab (which should automatically get mirrored to the GitHub repo).
@Random Penguin This theme's quite cool, really admire it. One thing however:
On my desktops, this double navigation takes way more space than in other themes. Would it be possible, for smaller displays, to somehow merge them into one menu line, or does that require more in-depth changes?
I agree that it does take up a lot of space, because I made the icons larger and added more white space for a cleaner, more modern look. Everything in Frio is too tiny and compact and cluttered. It doesn't help that Friendica just has a LOT of controls. Too many IMO. It's kind of overwhelming to new users.
For smaller displays when you get below 768 pixels wide it engages the mobile interface. There's some overlap between desktop and tablet landscape making it impossible to discern which it is, and for most tablets in portrait I chose to display a compact version of the desktop bars to keep the position of controls consistent if you change tablet orientation.
It is technically possible to merge the two bars into one (actually make them 50% screen width and positioned seamlessly side-by-side) for really wide screens, but there's just too much stuff there to do that for a smaller screen. And the sub-section words in the second toolbar can be really short in some languages or really long in others.
You could try zooming in until the mobile interface kicks in. Though it doesn't really save that much space as there are still two toolbars, they just aren't both at the top.
The CIA, FBI, Mossad, MI6 are ALL connected to this Epstein thing. The question remains, why does Trump not blow this all open if he is not part of the client list rather than allowing himself to be blackmailed by Israel into furthering their genocidal agenda?

The image features a black background with white text centered in the middle. The text is in a simple, sans-serif font and reads: "I wouldn't do anything for a Klondike bar, but I'd do some sketchy shit for some whiskey and bacon." The text is arranged in four lines, with the first line being the longest and the last line being the shortest. The overall layout is straightforward, with no additional images or graphics present.

@Theodore John Kaczynski This map does not go far enough back in history to even come close to accuracy. What it fails to recognize is that China's history goes back at least 8000 years and perhaps as much as 30,000 and over this long history their empire has expanded and collapsed repeatedly such that many of these "recent" areas actually have been part of China also in the distant past.

Dumbledore Starting To Wonder If Having A House Filled With Racist Murderers Named After Snakes Such A Good Idea
At publishing time, Slytherins had once again devised a lengthy and convoluted plot to release Lord Voldemort and bring about the destruction of the wizarding world, a problem many say could have perhaps been predicted, knowing their history.
HOGWARTS — Headmaster Albus Dumbledore admitted he was beginning to question the sensibility of having an entire house of students named after an evil snake that's dedicated to perpetuating racist ideas and destroying Hogwarts.

duh,Pay attention Zoomer.

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening.
I don't know. But I do believe strongly in "first things first." The current activist judicial swamp would not bring a conviction of the Epstein guilty.
People have lost critical thought, and they've lost track of all that's going on, and how we got here.
Fake MAGAs are working social media hard to split us up for 2026.
I trust Trump. Do I like how clumsy it was handled? Not really. But I realize that all I know is what we've been told. Much more going on than any of us can see.
Reminds me of a friend w/ 2 daughters. The elder was a troublemaker and a liar; the younger one a model student and obedient.
The troublemaker threatened suicide and was taken from my friend. In therapy, it turned out that the "liar" was a good girl, traumatized from her sister's lies about her.
Good girl was bad after all. And bad girl was depressed but good.
