Discourse Central Theme — Meta Pre-Release Out Now!

[techwithanirudh (Anirudh Sriram)]

If you have a getting started button, the search-bar is not aligned properly.

The central theme is acting weird on my tablet. Especially in mobile mode. Can’t see the sidebar. Can’t see the bottom navigation either.

I’ve just merged some updates to the theme…

@pfaffman

Yes. I see the post is selected, but do not see that a topic is selected if using j/k in a topic-list.

This should work now! the styles for the highlighting were missing

@Lhc_fl

The information at the top of topic seems a bit too light, even for unimportant text.

Yes, I’ve darkened some text with this update

@lurkest

I’d prefer the theme to use the browser’s font—which I can at least control

Valid point… I’ve removed this font declaration so we’re back on the site defaults. We already have site settings called base font and heading font which an admin can set to system if they liked the previous option.

Another option an admin would have if they only want to change the fonts in this theme, would be to create a component from admin/customize/theme-components and add

:root {
  --heading-font-family: system-ui, helvetica, sans-serif;
  --font-family: system-ui, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

This should be aligned with the logo correctly now

Thanks for reporting it! It wasn’t displaying at all for tablets, should be there once updated

That’s lots better. I still get confused on
vs . I sometimes click so many times to figure it out that I get rate limited. But that could be a personal problem.

[techwithanirudh (Anirudh Sriram)]

The theme looks amazing! Here are a few small bugs I found:

1. While scrolling the widgets go to the bottom.
   

2. The 404 page, and a lot of other pages needs padding
   

   

3. The dropdown is a bit smaller than the buttons
   

   

4. If everything has is rounded corners (all buttons on discourse), it’ll look amazing.

5. The first person’s pfp on the top contributors widget, is too big
   

   

6. The notification icon disappears when it loses hover (in dark mode)

The emoji selector seems to have a z-index that is too low (can be reproduced on meta)

I can’t find your theme.

Discourse Central Theme — Meta Pre-Release Out Now!

Hi everyone, progress is being made! I’ve enabled the Central theme here as a user option on Meta if you want to give it a spin… you can select your theme from the bottom of the sidebar nav, or from https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface The github repo is also public now at: GitHub - discourse/discourse-central-theme: CENTRAL There are still some minor known issues with the theme, but we’re working on it! At the moment you should use it with the site setting desktop category page…

[nwnuyhs (Yang Hongsheng)]

good themes

[techwithanirudh (Anirudh Sriram)]

Found a bug, the bookmark’s page is broken:

[Aaron_Walsh]

Good morning,

I see an update was performed on this. However, are the folders (icons) a default in the categories? I would like to have them so you can either have them or not.

[Aaron_Walsh]

Also, notice that on my Samsung Galaxy Fold 5, the bottom part is cut in half.

[Aaron_Walsh]

Sorry for continuing to add to this topic. I should have checked everything so it was merged into one.

I also use the AI to PMs on my forum, and the setting is enabled but doesn’t appear.

“Display a button in the header to start a PM with a AI Bot”

I’m not able to find a hamburger or a menu in the Central theme on mobile (iOS 18 on iPhone 13 Pro) either in DiscourseHub or Chrome or Safari.

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

This is reported few times in Central topic, but because hamburger has been missing since day one I consider this desktop only. Otherwise such major flaw would be fixed long time ago.
