I think this is worthy of consideration. Discussions about customizations often bleed into several other categories right now:
- UX
Many topics about what specific changes people want to see in the _default_ theme start here, but some of those seem to happen because people don’t realize they could achieve the same thing by customizing them.
- Feature
Sometimes topics like the ones mentioned above land here instead of UX.
- Extensibility
Actually, I don’t usually see many of these posts start here, but it is mentioned in the category description.
- Support
Questions like “how can I customize X?” often are put here. That’s fine for now - it seems the most natural place given the current category structure.
However, a dedicated category would better promote the idea that customization is something that is encouraged as a core part of the product vision. I’ve added a link to this topic in the list of ideas [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-more-robust-ecosystem-for-creating-sharing-and-modifying-themes/24402).
