Hi! I’m new to Discourse.  
I really like the minimalistic look of this forum

> **[Shape Up Forum](https://discourse.learnshapeup.com)**
>
> Share you experience implementing Shape Up at your company

is it some theme or plugin?

Thanks!

This can be done using a theme.

It uses [Sam's Simple Theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sams-personal-minimal-topic-list-design/23552)

Nope, unlike Sam’s theme, it does not have avatar images (userpics)

It uses Sam’s theme, but they customized it a bit further.

i agree with @Canapin

it is the theme and you can remove the profile pics with a one line ccs code

`.topic-list .posters {display: none}`
