The one shows on the front page of meta. I think it looks great and would like to know if it will be released as a theme component. Thanks!

Also, is the image crop also a theme component or plugin?

Thank you, it’s also a great example of how a theme setting like banner links was added in settings.yml :grinning: (didn’t see in theme settings tutorial before)

Besides, I think if the links can also show as columns and auto wrap will be better than rows when displayed on the small screen.
