Hi, is there any way to use a different theme just for the personal messages topics list? I am currently using Sam’s Sam's Simple Theme which I and my community strongly prefer for the /latest list, since it prints out the OP and most recent poster usernames in text, and it eliminates the clutter of the list of the frequent posters avatars that nobody cares about. Unfortunately that same paradigm falls apart for the /my/messages list, especially when the creator of the PM topic is the same as the most recent poster: [image] So in the case of /my/messages ideally I would like to just inject the td.posters.topic-list-data column from the default Discourse theme into this view. But if that’s too much work it would be nice to have the option to somehow switch to the default Discourse theme for the PM view. There are other custom themes that have this same issue such as Kris’s Minima Theme .

Yes, I’m using Sam’s theme. I’ve created a theme component to put the CSS and script there, attached to Sam’s theme. [image] CSS .topic-list:not(:has(.topic-list-body .topic-list-data.posters)) .topic-list-header-row .topic-list-data.posters { display: none; } Head {{~raw-plugin-outlet name="topic-list-header-before"~}} {{#if bulkSelectEnabled}} {{#if canBulkSelect}} {{raw "flat-button" class="bulk-select" icon="list" title="topics.bulk.toggle"}} {{/if}} {{/if}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" order='default' name='topic.title' bulkSelectEnabled=bulkSelectEnabled showBulkToggle=toggleInTitle canBulkSelect=canBulkSelect}} {{#if showLikes}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='likes' number='true' forceName=(theme-i18n 'likes')}} {{/if}} {{#if showOpLikes}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='op_likes' number='true' forceName=(theme-i18n 'likes')}} {{/if}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" order='posters' forceName='Participants'}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' number='true' order='posts' forceName='Replies'}} {{raw "topic-list-header-column" sortable='true' order='activity' forceName='Last Post'}} {{#if bulkSelectEnabled}} {{/if}} {{~raw-plugin-outlet name="topic-list-before-status"}} {{raw "topic-status" topic=topic}} {{~topic-link topic class="raw-link raw-topic-link"}} {{~#if showTopicPostBadges}} {{~raw "topic-post-badges" unreadPosts=topic.unread_posts unseen=topic.unseen url=topic.lastUnreadUrl newDotText=newDotText}} {{~/if}} {{discourse-tags topic mode="list" tagsForUser=tagsForUser}} {{#if expandPinned}} {{raw "list/topic-excerpt" topic=topic}} {{/if}} {{#unless hideCategory}} {{#unless topic.isPinnedUncategorized}} {{category-link topic.category}} {{/unless}} {{/unless}} {{~#if topic.creator ~}} {{topic.creator.username}} {{format-date topic.createdAt format="tiny"}} {{~/if ~}} {{raw "list/action-list" topic=topic postNumbers=topic.liked_post_numbers className="likes" icon="heart"}} {{#if showLikes}} {{#if hasLikes}} {{number topic.like_count}} {{d-icon "heart"}} {{/if}} {{/if}} {{#if showOpLikes}} {{#if hasOpLikes}} {{number topic.op_like_count}} {{d-icon "heart"}} {{/if}} {{/if}} {{#if topic.isPrivateMessage}} {{raw "list/posters-column" posters=topic.featuredUsers}} {{/if}} {{raw "list/posts-count-column" topic=topic}} {{avatar topic.lastPosterUser imageSize="medium"}} {{format-date topic.bumpedAt format="tiny"}} {{topic.last_poster_username}}
