Hi everyone!

First of all, thanks to the original developers of Category Badge Styles for this excellent theme component!

I’ve created an extended version called **Category Badge Styles EVO** , based on the original project.

While using the component on my Aprilia motorcycle community, I wanted more flexibility in how category badges appear in different parts of the forum.

The EVO version introduces three independent settings:

- Main Category Badge Style

- Subcategory Badge Style

- Topic List Badge Style

Each setting offers six display options: **Box, Bar, None, Standard, Text, and Text Auto**.

The component was developed with AI assistance, based on my feature ideas and tested on my Discourse community.

You can find the project here:

>
> Contribute to paulich69/Category-Badge-Styles-Evo development by creating an account on GitHub.

I’d be happy to hear your thoughts. If these enhancements would be useful for the original component, I’d also be glad to contribute them upstream.

Thanks again for the great foundation!

Best regards,  
Frenky
