## Layout

**On desktop:** Three column layout.

### Rounded corners

FKB Pro has highly rounded corners everywhere by default, but I know not everyone likes it so I added some Theme Settings to make it easier to customize it.

 ![Screenshot 2023-01-02 at 19.58.51](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/1/f/c/1fccacf5171aea5548d48c50a43b7e7a1702fdac.png)

If you don’t like rounded corners… set these value to `0`.

### Category Page

Because of the limited size on center please use, one column category page styles. I made some customization on these to fit more to this theme.

**Categories Only, Categories and Latest Topics, Categories and Top Topics**

 ![Screenshot 2023-01-02 at 20.02.30](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/3/d/6/3d6c37cb89e561cbfde519599f0c2631b3f0dcab.png)

**OR**

You can use the [Modern Category + Group Boxes](https://github.com/jordanvidrine/discourse-category-group-boxes.git) theme component created by @jordan.vidrine

## FKB Panel

**On desktop:** The right sidebar.

**For anon visitors** it is show a Welcome message. This message is same as` js.signup_cta.value_prop`. The header `Welcome` text you can change in Theme Translation.

**OR**

**For anon visitors** there is an option to enable a custom sidebar. You can add custom content to the sidebar like image and description.

**For logged in users** it is contains the user informations such as profile picture, statistics, badges and also use the user card image to background. Also contains some quick buttons on bottom.

With iPad it is quite… wide. I mean, really wide 😉

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/a/e/daef2fdf7733a3eb68def539ff9673d913963f48.jpeg)

That is because of there is no sidebar, I guess. Any ideas why?

I love it!

My only suggestion is to make the hamburger menu wider and then add padding

Another small one:

- my forum doesn’t use solved-plugin
- we don’t use badges

You know better how I hide those two 😉

 ![Verkkosieppaus_29-7-2022_15239_foorumi.katiska.eu](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/3/7/1/3718b229d5176433a150eb97a8065657b2583a8a.jpeg)

Otherwise… this theme looks really promising on desktops and mobiles (tablets are little bit problematic)

BTW — there is small layout issue with versatile banner. It pushes content below it a little bit too much to left.

I must be pain in the tender places 🤣

There is one issue. Not for me, but for my top 5 contributers it is matter of life and dead — well, that was perhaps too much but they really want this.

Category settings:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/8/d/4/8d4f4794490f779dea3abcc79417d35e5d6c622a.jpeg)

It normally shows something like this (on iPad, but you understand what I’m meaning)

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/f/b/2fb224b14982cc02e2932f30c719a449825995a3.jpeg)

Your layout breaks if there is a description or name of category is longer than few characters:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/5/1/651930d8cd28cef1161e6a0634b8ec7c947562dc.png)

Disabling `show subcategory list above…` solves out this, of course.

But I’m moving toward using only top-level categories and heavily relying on tags anyway (and then your theme is actually quite suitable in many ways) — so if fixing that would take a little bit too much work and/or you have something more important to do, I’m totally ok if you work with this later.

I disagree 😉

Blogish needs are different than trying to offer more SoMe-style for those who thinks Faceboom/insta/etc are the best possible UX/UI-experience.

So — out there could be a theme that looks a bit more like blog (what ever that now is meaning…). But this is just fine as it is now.

(WordPress is much more superior as blog-platform than Discourse; those are two totally different tools for different purposes…)

Hi, great theme!

The theme preview in our forum doesn’t show with 3 columns, only a one-column layout. I suspect some css problem, but still trying to figure it out.

2 questions:

- Is it possible to have fixed width columns upon a minimum screen width (or several, using for instance media css rules) on desktop-mode? The flexible width gives me a bit of headaches in very large monitors (24 or 27’') and the “dead space” between the three columns is a bit awkward
- Is the theme compatible with the component for right side blocks [Right Sidebar Blocks - theme-component - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/right-sidebar-blocks/231067)? If so, it makes the right column more useful/feature rich.
