Per page classes so we can customize experience better?

Hi -

I’m new to Discourse so maybe this is an open I am not seeing. I want to be able to customize certain pages, such as the homepage, so it looks different. Maybe it has a header image or a search bar - not sure.

Anyway, a SIMPLE way to accomplish this would be to add appropriate classes to each page in the header or body. So the homepage might have something like homepage as a body class and a category page might have something like category category-slug as the classes for that page. Etc etc.

Then we can use the theme CSS customization (and JS customization if that’s possible) to easily customize each page.

These already exist

The ‘home’ pages have body classes of

navigation-topics

and category pages have something like (for the ux category on meta)

categories-list category-ux

Posts within a category have a body class to do with the category. For example this page right now has a body class of

archetype-regular category-ux
