Contributing to ElegantFin

Thank you for your interest in contributing to ElegantFin, a custom theme for the Jellyfin Web UI. To keep the project clean, maintainable, and compatible across devices, please follow these guidelines when contributing.

🧩 Pull Request Guidelines

  • Keep PRs focused. Each pull request should address a single feature, bugfix, or improvement. Avoid bundling unrelated changes.

  • Write clear PR descriptions. Explain what you changed and why. This helps reviewers and future contributors understand the purpose and reasoning behind the change.

  • Provide screenshots. Include before/after screenshots for any visual changes, along with a short description of what each image shows.

  • Comment your code. If you’re adding new CSS rules or modifying complex ones, include inline comments where needed to describe intent.

  • Don't forget responsiveness. ElegantFin runs on phones, tablets, TVs, and desktops. Ensure your changes are tested across viewports and don't break layouts or interactions on other platforms.

  • Use consistent units. Follow the theme’s existing use of relative units such as em instead of absolute units like px.

  • Avoid !important. Only use it when it is absolutely necessary and no alternative exists.

  • Minimize media queries. Only add new media queries if there is no simpler or existing solution that achieves the same result.

💬 Propose First for Major Changes

If you are planning to:

  • change the overall layout or structure of key components,
  • modify the core color scheme,
  • or introduce new UI behavioral patterns,

Please open a GitHub issue first to discuss the proposal with maintainers before submitting a PR. This helps avoid duplicate work and ensures alignment with the project's goals.

📁 File Structure and Naming

  • Follow the existing CSS naming conventions and structure.
  • When adding new sections, group related styles logically and use comments to identify the purpose of the block.

🤝 Communication

  • Be respectful, constructive, and collaborative.
  • Be open to feedback and willing to revise your work if needed.

We appreciate your help in making ElegantFin better for everyone. Thanks for contributing! 🙌
