Follow these instructions if you wish to add Tangerine UI as an available theme for your users on your instance. This will also allow you to set Tangerine UI as the default theme for your instance, while still letting users change back to Mastodon's default themes in their appearance settings.

## Installation for Glitch-soc admins
Tangerine UI does not yet support Glitch-soc features, but it can still be installed as a vanilla skin on your Glitch-soc instance.
1. **Copy the files** from [this folder](https://github.com/nileane/TangerineUI-for-Mastodon/tree/main/mastodon/app/javascript/styles/) to your Mastodon themes directory `app/javascript/styles/`:
```

3. **Compile theme assets and restart.** Run `RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile` and restart your Mastodon instance for the changes to take effect.
Your users should now be able to select Tangerine UI as their theme in their settings, under Flavours → Vanilla Mastodon → Skin

* Install any browser extension that allows you to inject CSS on a webpage, such as [Stylus](https://add0n.com/stylus.html), or [Live CSS Editor](https://github.com/webextensions/live-css-editor)

* ⚠️ If you are a user on a Glitch-soc instance, you must switch to the vanilla flavour for Tangerine UI to work properly:
* In your settings, navigate to Flavours → Vanilla Mastodon → select the 'Default' skin).
## Things to know
* **Tangerine UI currently only supports Mastodon's single column layout**. The advanced web interface (multiple columns) will not be affected.
* **Tangerine UI auto-switches from light to dark mode based on your OS preference**.
* Check your Mastodon instance version before using. The latest Mastodon release checked to be compatible is indicated in the CSS file header.
* If you run a **Glitch** or **Hometown** instance, beware: Tangerine UI is currently only meant to be applied on top of Mastodon's vanilla Dark and Light themes.
* If you are a user on a Glitch instance using a browser extension, first switch your instance to the vanilla flavour before applying Tangerine UI.
## Accessibility
* I have not yet adapted Tangerine to Mastodon's *High Contrast* theme setting. Please consider that some of your users may depend on it before setting Tangerine UI as the only theme on your instance.
