I really like the way Helloforos shows the original poster avatar in the first column, and allows hovering over the topic title cell to highlight it/click on it. I think it’s the most responsive feeling version of discourse I’ve come across.
I tried to add those features to my own site by customising the template through Admin/Customize/Themes and the “Desktop>Header” and “Desktop>CSS” sections, but came across a couple of errors, so I’ve reverted to my current theme (based on Sam’s minimal list theme, and Material design theme) …
Can you share how you altered the JavaScript and CSS to achieve those effects? Apologies if this is an old thread - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
