Let me preface this by saying this isn’t the most concise answer… 😄

I’m not exactly sure on what you would need to specifically target with a component/theme.

It would involve re-writing the discourse template/component being used to display PMS to the user. Re-using discourse templates/components is covered in the [Developing Discourse Themes & Theme Components](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developer-s-guide-to-discourse-themes/93648). Taking a look there if you haven’t may help put you in a better direction.
