We utilise the discourse-solved plugin in our community, and we’d like to make it more clear from the topic index list pages (latest, category,new, etc… pages.)
When a topic is solved it has the checkbox visible in the title:
…But we’d like to either make that more bold, or coloured to highlight the solved topics.
Essentially we want to make it as simple as possible for our users to find answers.
Is it possible using the theme editor to alter the appearance of this component? as it’s a plugin component I am skeptical about that.
Alternatively, are there any other suggestions for achieving this goal?
(or elsewhere in the discourse-solved repo form what I can see)
So while CSS changes in the theme are easy enough - I’m pretty new to discourse themes & plugins so I’m not sure the best/easiest way to find the appropriate attributes to target in my theme.
Can I edit and test the javascript code (and not the css) of the plugin from the console (chrome/firefox) . Is this possible?

Generally how to test a plugin that edits on github? Do I have to upload a modified package every time, rebuild the forum (wait 8 minutes…) and test it on my own?
If you want to test away from your live site then you can set up a staging copy on another VPS, or a development environment on your computer. Either will allow you to test plugins out.
The development environment won’t require a rebuild every time, whereas the staging environment will let you carry out a representative test that closely represents your live server. Both have their own merits.
