Because I didn’t find the right ones (or maybe they didn’t exist at the time I modified the template, about 2 years ago) 😅

Will probably be easier this way, I’ll give it a try, thanks!

Uh… Can’t achieve to use these connectors.

Or maybe I just need to create a theme component with an additional file, like this [https://github.com/discourse/discourse-topic-thumbnails/blob/main/javascripts/discourse/connectors/topic-list-before-link/topic-thumbnail.hbr](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-topic-thumbnails/blob/main/javascripts/discourse/connectors/topic-list-before-link/topic-thumbnail.hbr)?

But here, new connectors are created, while `topic-list-after-title` and `topic-list-before-category` already exist… So I’m a bit puzzled here.
