Ah, I knew there was a reason! 😆

@charlie_spring – have you looked at this theme component?

It’s posted in the topic you linked in your original post, and you can find instructions on how to install it here: [Installing a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-install-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682)

It doesn’t have friendly settings to change colors and the like, but the theme component gets you part of the way there at least!
