sometime last week but I didn't have time to install it until I finished all my Xmas-related crafting and then read most of Yuletide.
Styles on Dreamwidth vary - some display relatively well on mobile and some don't, depending how they deal with wrapping, overflows, scaling, etc. The site pages like the FAQs, Customization pages and icon/image uploading pages have a native style with a navigation bar across the top that doesn't scale down for mobile by default.
So Solarbird's code is designed to work together with the site style Practicality in the silver/gray theme Neutral Good. You install those (or someone said Neutral Evil also works - a dark charcoal variant - but it looked a bit odd to me; maybe that was my monitor) and then paste their custom code into the custom code box, and then when you've gone through the Customize Journal Style page and the Account Settings Display tab and selected to display everything you possibly can in your journal style rather than site style or other people's styles...
... everything is pretty mobile friendly! Journal and Reading/Network pages, individual entry pages, comments (previously my biggest issue), the navigation bar.
This style doesn't actually have the colors hard coded into it, so it will respect the custom colors you pick out in the Customize Journal Style page, according tosolarbird, but it still is one single style, of course, which is a potential drawback. I decided I was basically okay with it, after a bit of color and font tweaking, although I have been struggling to remove all the small caps (you'd think find and replace would work but it didn't: I'll have to comb more carefully through the parent layers again and do some testing perhaps).
