Show sidebar to anonymous user + Welcome area in central theme

[Lilly (Lillian Louis)]

Hi there

@tevildo

How can I show the sidebar to anonymous visitors?

sidebar shows when not logged in in desktop. I think mobile view isn’t fully supported yet. The theme is tagged as experimental .

@Discourse

Central is best experienced on desktop via Chromium browsers. Mobile and tablet versions will be developed later.
