Inspired from Sam’s simple theme I wanted to create a theme that looked simple and at the same time had modern appeal. The end result was “elementary” theme.

This two column theme tries to cover all the basic information of a topic under topic title, and the “Last Post” column contains last poster details and last posted date.

Thank you for this great theme!

This theme does not seem to work well with dark mode, since it contains hardcoded color codes.
