Hey,

A bit of feedback from using discourse a little more – I’m really enjoying the heat monitors for high like ratios and view at a glance colour schemes. They are also quite easy on the eyes at a glance.

I was going to suggest or even PR a similar color indicator for posts that have been necro’d so that resurrected posts that filter back to the top can be easily seen at a glance as well. Then I noticed that this feature already exists, and I felt foolish.

I’ve updated it in my discourse instance and it is much easier to distinguish.

```plaintext
body .coldmap-high {
    color: #04C2BF !important;
}
body .coldmap-med {
    color: #37BFBD !important;
}
body .coldmap-low {
    color: #77BFBE !important;
}

```

Wondering what you guys think about possibly adding something similar as well in core. It is much easier to at a glance catch up and miss old topics that have been updated. I realize you don’t want to drag too much attention/highlight to an old post, but as it stands it’s really difficult to see much distinction at a glance in vanilla.
