# Bugs: a Discourse theme-component

Did you know fruit flies were the first living creatures to be sent into space? Spiders are found on every continent of the world except Antarctica 🕷

This theme component is a port and update of Auzbugs repo. It originally started out as an April fools joke and has been adapted over time. I’ve included a new bugs interact feature in this component.

This is just a bit of fun 😜 : I suggest you use it sparingly, maybe just at Halloween 👻 or to play a joke on someone you know 🤓. You can target it at specific groups and users in the theme settings.

I personally like to have a little bug friend on screen to keep me company 🐜 I swat him away if he starts to bug me! Yes you can exterminate them 💀 😳

Want to know more? Try out the preview below…

## Settings

I’ve included some options in the theme settings. These include making it show only to specific users and groups.

There are a couple of methods that you can use to allow users to turn it on and off.

> **Create a user selectable bugs group**
>
> By creating a group you can allow users to join and leave at their will.
> 
> Set up a group called e.g. Bugs. In the group settings allow them to join and leave freely.

> 
> This will give them these options before they join and after.

[details="Convert the component into a user selectable theme“]

To make this theme component user selectable you can covert it to a theme. To do that click the Convert button at the bottom of the theme settings.

Once it is a theme make it user selectable, select the light color palate and include any other components you have installed. You can also rename it if you prefer.

If you have the [theme selector component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/hamburger-theme-selector/61210) installed users can then toggle their themes on the site menu.
