This looks sharp, nice work!

Would be nice to see responsive/tablet/mobile screenshots as well.

Hello everyone I started refactoring the theme and also tried to improve the UX. In particular, I removed duplicate elements, updated the list of topics, and added animations wherever I could.

Thank you so much to @manuel for his help and especially for his skill in creating themes [Skills for authoring themes and blocks](https://meta.discourse.org/t/skills-for-authoring-themes-and-blocks/401629), which has been very helpful.

I would love to receive feedback!

I especially like that it keeps the interface simple without feeling too minimal. One small thing I’d probably consider is making sure it stays just as readable on smaller screens, but the direction and styling are definitely nice.

Thanks for the feedback! I will try to improve the UI/UX on mobile devices 🙂

The theme translation is not yet complete, @Oniel

Ohh this theme is so nice and practical!

Could you add separators between posts? That detail would go a long way to improve readability…

(also a small bug - on the mobile, even when I’m in English, the New Post button has a Russian/Ukrainian label 🙂 )

Thanks for sharing this theme! This is exactly the kind of design I like: clean and modern.

I noticed a few things and had a few questions:

1. Is it possible to assign fixed colors to tags?
2. In the admin dashboard, some headings, such as “Top entry URLs,” appear too small relative to the surrounding text.
3. In Dark Mode, selected/highlighted text is difficult to see because the selection color blends into the background.
4. I think a subtle gray border around input fields would make them easier to notice. The small indicator that appears after changing a setting is also quite hard to see.
5. Does the theme need any CSS fixes for RTL sites?
6. On pages like logs, subtle row separators would improve readability. I’d also make the post action bar ( **Share, Bookmark, Reply** ) stand out a little more, as it currently blends into the content.

Thanks again for your work and for sharing it with the community!
