Is there anyway to have a theme installed that users could select that hides the topic progress bar on mobile?

Or I guess… how can I hide the mobile topic progress bar?

Hiding it is easy with a little CSS (added to your theme under admin \> customize \> themes).

```css
.mobile-view {
  #topic-progress {
    display: none;
  }
}

```

Users can’t configure theme settings individually, so If you wanted to make it so users could choose it’s a little more involved… I think the simplest way would be to:

1. Duplicate your default theme
2. Rename it to something like “Yourthemename - no mobile progress bar”
3. Click the “Theme can be selected by users” checkbox on the duplicate
4. Direct users to select the theme from their interface settings `community.example.com/my/preferences/interface`
