  • Canvas Theme Template

    Theme 2026-02-25 11:13 Post #22
    I’ll need to go through the declarations once Foundation updates are the default. Some will be obsolete then, like New Topic as primary button. But in general, it’s not a very opinionated theme regarding base styles, it rather follows the default look of Foundation.

    GitLab Manuel Kostka / Discourse / Canvas / Central Theme · GitLab GitLab.com I’ve put together a new example theme based on this template.

    Is there a reason that clicking the user-avatar and name doesn’t do anything? I’d expect it to open the user-card. I’d also love to be able to switch to showing the full name, but de-selecting prioritize username in site settings doesn’t change the field: I recently did a PR to show full name on...

    The theme is meant to show banners next to the sidebar, using the above-main-container outlet. The Extra-Banners component uses that outlet by default, but the two components for Category and Tag banners are by default rendered below the header. I wouldn’t want to fork these components, just to...

    The settings are on the theme component installed as Canvas Settings. It’s maybe a bit misleading that settings are always named Theme Settings on the ui, also on theme components.

    I just pushed a refactor of this theme. There’s only subtle changes on the UI, but the theme code is re-organized and includes a few new components. If you installed the theme before, you will need to re-adjust components and any style declarations you did on top of it. In case you don’t want to...

    Love this! Discourse looks great at full width Will there be a dedicated topic for the full-width theme component? I see some glitches, but they are related to the component, so I wonder if it makes sense to post here? There will likely be more full-width themes coming that use the component.

    Theme 2023-04-10 13:25 Post #17
    Thank you It doesn’t show for me on the default theme either, so probably related to the component. Actually, see here: Dark/Light Mode Toggle - #88 by RGJ Right now the toggle only shows when a user has automatic color mode switching enabled.

    Latest is called Everything on the sidebar by default. On my screenshots it’s named All. But yes, it’s true that Unread and New don’t show on the sidebar now. I thought they showed there just as they had before on the hamburger dropdown. Maybe I remember wrong or it has been changed. There’s...

    Theme 2023-04-06 22:40 Post #13
    Yes, these items are hidden. I’m opinionated about it on this theme because Latest/New/Unread are already available from the sidebar and Top is used for the landing page. If you want to use the theme and have those items on the navbar, you’d need to override the style declarations of the theme manually.

    You also have to set Top Topics as your homepage. Your homepage is set to the categories list. That’s because this theme setting only shows the pinboard lists and hides the content below. That only works on the top route. We can replace top topics with a pinboard list of top topics if needed. We...

    You can go to your Admin Settings and search for ‘share’. The first result shows the post menu. Just remove the share item from the post menu.
