Anyone perhaps knows if there is a default Discourse UI design template for [Sketch](http://sketchapp.com)? A lot of people are customising their Discourse instances, so perhaps having a starter Sketch template would make it easier for a designer to jump in and try out some changes. Just wondering if the Discourse team or someone else maybe has such a file on hand or should I make one myself 🙂

That’s a quite innovative idea.

Hey, just to let anyone who’s interested know – I made this default theme template in Sketch after all since I need it for my own design customisation. Feel free to reuse it – I uploaded the files to GitHub:

[https://github.com/balkanio/discourse-sketch](https://github.com/balkanio/discourse-sketch)

So far it’s only the topic list screen on desktop and mobile views, but I think that this gives you a good starter for experimenting with your own theme. Later on it would be nice to also have a topic view too.

I also created [a screencast](https://forum.balkan.io/t/twitch-tv-screencastanje/106/4?u=metakermit) while I was making this template (narration in Croatian) in case anyone finds that helpful:
