Do hosted discourse instances have the option to install this component? I sent this to the admin of the site I use, but he’s having trouble getting the setting to show up for users.
@viet @oldbonsai If you install this theme component for Discourse, users will be able to change the topic header on mobile back to the old version. While the new version nicely shows you the current topic’s title, it makes it hard to quickly see...

There is no restriction on the use of this theme component (or any theme component) on hosted sites. I can take a look shortly.

To follow-up on @seanblue . The theme component installs without issue. I can see the component on the Theme list in Admin. We aren’t seeing the User > Preference > Interface option as seen in the quote.

Have you added the theme component to the active theme(s)? Theme components do nothing themselves unless they’re part of a theme.

Nope. I did not. Adding them to the active themes did it! Thanks for the assistance and education.

Hmm, this doesn’t seem to be working, anymore.
I installed it fine, I see the component, I added it successfully to all themes >> Nada.

@dylanh724 what issue are you seeing here? This theme does nothing on Desktop, so you’ll only see the new option on mobile.
Previously it was necessary to manually refresh the site for the setting to take effect, but I just fixed that .

Users cannot select this in options because the field does not exist.

Are they looking for the setting on mobile, or on desktop? Are you able to share a link to the community?

There’s also supposed to be an admin option, right?

I just signed up quickly, and I can see the setting in the user preferences on mobile:
Yep, that is located in the themes area. Find the page for the component, and then find the “theme settings” section at the bottom of the page. There’s a screenshot of it in the OP:

I can’t see it all – I wonder if this only works for new accounts? There’s a friend helping me test and he can’t see the option, either. I’m testing desktop, he’s testing mobile.
I did, however, find the theme option within the component (thanks):

It definitely will not appear on Desktop. Is it possible that your friend has switched to Desktop view on his mobile?

You keep saying this as if the option doesn’t show on desktop – or is this intended that you can only selection this OPTION when on mobile (rather than the event happening only on mobile, which I understand)?

Correct, you can only toggle the setting when using the mobile device. The theme component does absolutely nothing on Desktop.

@pmusaraj I think some of your recent changes broke this.
@tgxworld when you are done if you need a theme to test the new user selectable stuff this is a great one!
