I did the same, after the work you did in general to core I really just had to remove a bunch of code and only one custom property was added to the topic list view.
-
@sam affects yours as well
-
Interestingly, I just upgraded to latest and my override didnāt break. Though I am having issues with the suggested topics showing user info sometimes and I am not sure why. I think it might have to do with the model/data store changes?
-
Have you updated your code with this? I was looking into this the other day but got side tracked since it wasnāt working as expected.
-
Cool. Iāll take a look and see if any of it will fit with my work. I had already done quite a bit of changes, so Iām thinking we need to figure out the future of custom themes and how they can be consumed/managed. How much interest is there in supporting something in core for this, including a...

DavidGNavas: Is there a way to isolate the code that make the category bars coloured? Not sure what you mean?
-
Do you have commits or details on what has changed?
-
So I had to fix those in mine before it diverged. You can remove the colspan from main-link. <td class='main-link clearfix' colspan="{{titleColSpan}}"> into <td class='main-link clearfix'> For category page, if you notice in mine, I surrounded all topic list styles with...

Here it is: https://gist.github.com/chapel/66cb4361b0109f15b48b

I will post my latest style later today. Iāll put it in a Github gist so that it is easier to track, that and it will have better versioning.
-
Still playing around with it. I think the last post is good, and adding the header I feel grounds the columns better. Still torn on the color bar and/or the category column. Honestly the default meta category bar, or even the square just donāt look great to me. Not sure what to do otherwise though.
-
After looking at it a while, it did always feel off. Thinking of adding the table header back, as that adds some visual continuity from top down.
-
mcwumbly: I think you have it right with the layout of last poster / replies. Still not a fan of the reversal @chapel did there. Is it that you donāt like avatar on the right of the text or even the replies on the right?
-
Completely understand about the creator info, on here I see it being a bit more important. Iāve found I donāt miss the heading. The only downside is I had to add special styling for the new posts alert. It does mean there is an odd space between the topic list and the top buttons, where as the...
-
@sam What do you think of some of the things Iāve done to my variation of your style? Curious since it wouldnāt have been possible if you hadnāt taken the time to create this first. Wanted to also think you for creating it, and sharing it with us all.
-
I do prefer the square style. Can you add it as one of the options in the category style setting?
-
I had the same issue. It was there regardless of the square or not. Something to do with the markup of the category badges.
-
Iāve made some more changes. Left of topic title has category color bar. Our forum has only two main categories (on topic and gaming) so the colors are very helpful, but the name is not as important. I could see adding the category as a column if you had enough to warrant it. I moved the replies...
-
I did try it but didnāt like it. Was too busy and detracted from the topic title. Felt weird having an avatar on the far left and one on the far right.
-
While to a certain degree I am with you there. Though having the avatar on the right flows better in regards to alignment. specially with longer usernames. I definitely prefer the username on top, as the date is somewhat secondary.
-
mcwumbly: Not crazy about those changes, to be honestā¦ Curious what you donāt like about them? Did you mean the avatar location change as well?
-
Made some changes, still feeling them out. Notes on changes: Removed creator name and date Moved poster avatar to the right Right align text Move last post date under last poster name I am thinking about what to do with the category. I like the idea of having a bar on the left of the full row...
-
Yeah, I figured as much, but since we saw something similar that is why I thought it might be related.
-
@sam Found an odd issue: On the topic list it shows the last post user like this: But the actual last post was by codinghorror: Thread in question: https://meta.discourse.org/t/idea-design-window-emoticons/24654/4 I havenāt seen it before.
-
codinghorror: The 5 avatar design default may indeed be weak for large sites and for very new users, but it optimizes for small and medium discourses with moderate to low levels of activity. I think thatās correct. I think that represents what the vast, overwhelming majority of Discourse...
-
@sam Looks like your width setting for the recent poster is too small.
-
The info is in my post above. Has the necessary CSS and JS changes. Edit: added link to the post.
-
I switched over to using my minimal view as the default on my forum. If you would like to see how it looks/feels feel free to check it out at Wasting Your Life I havenāt tried the squares, but I am thinking of alternative styles to try and see how they look in the different areas categories are shown.

He is out on vacation for 2 weeks I believe, so he may not show up here any time soon. Quickly searched and found this: github.com/discourse/discourse app/assets/javascripts/discourse/controllers/topic-list-item.js.es6 094719106 titleColSpan: function() { // Uncategorized pinned topics will span...
-
Iām not able to reproduce or see the case youāre seeing. JSey: do we need the colspan=ā{{titleColSpan}}ā at all? Is there any use case left for it in the new, reduced designs? Due to the modifications in the simplified topic list, I would guess that it isnāt necessary but I havenāt tracked down...
-
Let me check. I donāt have any topics uncategorized so that might explain why I havenāt seen it.
-
Iāve updated my post with the current CSS and Header changes.
-
This is what I am running now. I have moved the thread list down to accommodate the update alert. No alert Alert This allows the update alert to pop in without shifting anything down. Functionality wise, I am fine without the table header, but visually it feels like something is missing. That...
-
Yep, figured that out working with customizations.
-
Hmm, will have to try it out to see how it feels tbh.
-
To a certain degree I agree with you. I just wonder though if for people less accustomed to forum software would be confused as far as what the last two columns are. We could get away with having replies be 120 replies for instance. Keep in mind that it is there for more than as a visual...
-
I was thinking that as well. It stands out too much against the list. I like the subdued look of the default header, I wonder if we changed it to be more like the default table header. Something like this?
-
On my variation I use the standard category helper which by default has a fatter color bar as you can see in my screenshot. I am not 100% sold on the fat one, but the thin one is also not right either. Between the two though, I prefer the fat one, if only to be consistent with its usage...
-
I see, well in a way that makes sense.
-
Looks like there is potentially a bug in the server code in regards to who is the original poster when the original post is edited. Interestingly enough, the edit history only shows @codinghorror editing the post once, and it was the first edit. I checked, and it isnāt an issue with ordering, as...
-
sam: the funny thing about the category page is that I never use it I actually donāt like it (as far as using it). I prefer latest tbh. My community which is used to older forum software asked for the category view be the homepage, and ultimately it was such a small change. So I see the category...
-
The main difference at this point is the topic title font size and the td height which I have compressed more. Mainly because I wanted to optimized information density due to one of my staffs complaint about seeing less topics per āpageā. @sam any progress on the category page? Thinking of...
-
I have made my own changes to the new look for my site, have more I wish to do but here is what it looks like: Figured I could share my variation for those that are curious. Changes Remove colspan attribute from main topic link td since it isnāt necessary Clean up CSS to be more concise and use...
-
Thanks! I see youāre setting up some stuff for likes columns? One thing I noticed and which I had to fix to get working was this: <script type='text/x-handlebars' name='components/topic-list-header.raw'> which should be <script type='text/x-handlebars'...
-
I like the changes overall, and am trying it on my install to see how it goes. It breaks the categories view as well as affects the suggested topics module. sam: I started using this design exclusively on meta, and just now fixed incorrect avatars for last posters. Is this the issue where for...
