meghna introduced Modest, an ultra-minimal theme for Discourse, which removes elements like homepage posters and views columns, composer preview panes, and topic footers. The theme aims for simplicity and has a clean design, as shown in the provided screenshots.
Users have provided feedback and suggestions for improvement, including applying a max-width to the composer, which meghna has already implemented. Other suggestions include hiding the full screen button in the editor, as mentioned by codinghorror, and adding buttons for quoting and uploading, which devporto found difficult to do without.
However, dax warned that the theme is currently broken with the latest version of Discourse and should not be installed until the issue is fixed. awesomerobot has submitted a pull request for updates to the theme.
