Thank you Jordan 🙂
Your commit also made it easy to identify the css for controlling this. I played around with both full colour, and fully hidden avatars, and after speaking with a few colleagues we’ve decided to go with fully hidden.
For anyone who wants to make changes to go full colour or fully hidden avatar, just add the following as a [theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/make-css-changes-on-your-site/168101#where-do-i-add-my-css-5):
#### Fully Hide Avatars
```plaintext
.reader-mode {
.topic-avatar img,
.topic-avatar .avatar-flair {
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 0.3s;
filter: none;
}
}
```
#### Show Avatars full colour
```plaintext
.reader-mode {
.topic-avatar img,
.topic-avatar .avatar-flair {
opacity: 1;
transition: opacity 0.3s;
filter: none;
}
}
```
### Font size is not persistent in settings slider
One Colleague also found that when we click out of the font-size settings, and then go back to it, the slider’s setting is not persistent.
Not a major issue, but worth noting if it hasn’t been seen yet.
p.s. when showing them the font style dropdown, the response was “wow, no comic sans 😤” 😂

Oh this advanced option is so cool, small one I noticed there when setting my text to an age appropriate size.

Ah yes, I need to save the state here on change. Will make this update 👍

I have a working branch with a huge update I will release this week.
- exported all code that changes the look & feel to a `@service`
- state is now tracked across topics using that same `@service`
- simplified the menu
- simplified font options
Just a few kinks I need to iron out. But here it is in action.
