I like the look and feel of this discourse in particular. How would I even begin to structure mine in the same way? Is this a custom use of CSS/HTML, or did they use themes that I could use? Which themes and theme components could get me started? Or would I have to learn CSS/HTML to structure my own…

custom CSS, sure, and probably Knowledge Explorer Plugin and Versatile Banner If you search for “theme” here on meta I think the 10 first results are to be read (notably those in the howto category) for your endeavour.
