Is it possible to customize a Movim instance such that it behaves more like tumblr or a photo blog? As it stands it seems to be a lot of things that Tumblr was not, which is great, but perhaps this would be more attractive to Tumblr refugees if a pared down interface was available.

As it is explained it is possible to provide a custom CSS stylesheet for your own blog. Just provide the link to the file (that can be hosted anywhere) in your account configuration.

There is no "advanced" UI like on Tumblr where you can pick a theme or customize the current theme graphically but we can imagine something like that in the future (or a website where people could create custom CSS file and link them with their account).

The HTML code of the pages is kept as simple as possible to make it easy to select the elements that you want to customize.

I understand. I guess I was thinking about how Scuttlebutt works where you have multiple client apps (with radically different UIs) that can federate over a common protocol.
