I am looking to resize the ‘Modern Category + Group Boxes’ thumbnail via CSS. If I use the default setting to use an image, the image increases the size of the thumbnail, (even if I use a smaller image). I’m sure that this has been done before but my searching has not offered any results that addresses this issue directly (again, that I have been able to find).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if you can point me in the right direction with CSS.
Thank you!

This introduction aims to provide a map of all the tools and APIs for theme development. If you prefer a step-by-step tutorial for theme development, jump straight to:

There are a few ‘how to start’ guides for working with Discourse already and a wealth of useful info on meta, but I thought it might help to give an insight to the mental processes of starting from little, if any, prior coding experience to building substantial Discourse plugins.
Discourse is written by experienced developers and has a large codebase. This can feel intimidating. This intimidation factor can be a significant barrier for novice developers. This is a kind of ‘psychological primer’…

This topic may help. @Canapin did some pretty cool coding here.
We’re aware of that and discussing it
I was curious, so I made these tweaks to make something like @derak would like:
[image]
.category-boxes, .category-boxes-with-topics {
gap: 1em;
}
.mobile-view .category-boxes .category-box, .mobile-view .category-boxes-with-topics .category-box {
width: 100%;
flex: 0 0 calc(50% - 0.5em);
}
.category-boxes .description {
display: none;
}
.category-boxes .category-box .category-box-inner .category-details .category-box-heading h3 {
