How to install focused sidebar on my Discourse?

AI-generated summary

The user alefattorini is looking to install the “focused sidebar” theme on their Discourse. However, Simon_Manning found that the theme is not yet available for installation, as it is still in development and will be added to Discourse by default in a future update. awesomerobot, a developer, confirmed that the theme will be part of the default themes and can be customized by themes and plugins. alexhartley expressed eagerness for the theme’s release, having previously forked an older version, which now requires manual CSS adjustments to maintain its layout after each Discourse upgrade.

I found an amazing theme “focused sidebar” and I selected it on meta as default. I would like to add it as additional theme to my discourse. I didn’t find any git repository around. Any hint?

From Focused sidebar

So it is not published for installing but it will be coming to Discourse in a future update. I assume in the form of being part of the default themes and easily available for theme developers to add to their themes, or as a theme component.

Yes, it will be in Discourse by default. We’re working on it now. Themes and plugins will be able to customize it (like everything else in Discourse!).

I would love for this to be released soon. I forked the original ages ago when it was available, and every time there’s a discourse upgrade, it destroys the layout and I have to add some very dodgy CSS to make it look correct :smiley:
