The body-max-width parameter is set much too low. Until version 23.05 the text width could be be configured by editing ~/.local/share/akregator/grantleetheme/5.2/normalview.html. In v. 24.08 this configuration file has disappeared and the only way to set the max-width is by editing the file style.css in the source code. > In v. 24.08 this configuration file has disappeared and the only way to set
And no way to reenable grantleetheme support?

Not apply grantleetheme (~/.local/share/ ...etc user path)
Yes, I confirm, my own custom theme (fonts&margins) not apply.
Thank you for your report. I also need this feature but for another reason, some of my feeds are in Hebrew and I need to apply RTL directionality but only for specific feeds, is that possible? I am facing this problem as well. In my opinion this bug is a grave bug, breaking core functionality of Akregagtor. I therefore believe it should get a higher importance. The new theme with its max-width of 35rem only works for a _very_ limited subset of use cases and wastes tons of display space. Regular use cases of Akregator, which don't work properly now anymore are: - feeds with long article content, resulting in the need for a comical amount of scrolling - feeds showing diffs, as the reporter already mentioned - feeds with pictures, as the pictures are now being shown in very small size - feeds with code blocks, where lines of code are now being wrapped across multiple lines In addition to the max-width problem article header and article content aren't as clearly distinguishable anymore as before and the article header takes up significantly more vertical space as before (leading to even more scrolling). Aside from the missing ability to modify the theme anymore, I believe the current theme shouldn't be the default theme given its downsides compared to the previous theme. Also chiming in. This change has made some of my feeds completely unreadable due to text and images being squished to unreasonably small sizes. This is just awful and having no way to change it makes it all the worse. I've been looking into other feed readers because of this, but this really is the only one which I like. I'd really hope that this new default theme is changed, or that we get the ability to customize it again. Created attachment 177151 [details]

Until this is fixed here's a patch to the source to provide a better default text width.
