This component allows forum staff to change their topic list formatting to two-column layout (as seen in [Elementary theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/elementary-a-simple-theme-for-discourse/177159)) while keeping their custom theme for rest of the forum.
This two column topic-list layout tries to cover all the basic information of a topic under topic title, and the “Last Post” column contains last poster details and last posted date.
Enjoy, and do let me know how to further improve this component. 🙂

Great work!
Is it compatible with Topic List Previews plugin or theme component?

No, this component will not work with Topic List Previews plugin since it also modifies topic list styling.

This theme component looks like a great alternative to Sam’s Simple Theme, which is the only theme that shows the name of the OP and most recent poster in text format. Unfortunately Sam’s Simple Theme appears to be completely unmaintained and pull requests to fix broken elements in it are not being handled. So I wonder if this theme component could be enabled together with the Discourse default theme for all users/visitors by default, not just staff? Thanks a lot!

This theme component seems to be broken
