Theme Identification

Does anyone know what theme this site is running? Something custom, or one that is available on meta?

I don’t think the theme is available as is. What exactly are you interested in?

The background?
The links in the header?
The style of the categories page?

Primarily the background and the categories page.

I think those are part of their custom theme.

You can add a background image with CSS (you can find some details on how to do that in topics here on Meta, e.g., Change background image on all pages - #5 by Dave_Olszewski). You could also use Graceful Theme, which supports a background image.

For the categories page, you can get quite close by adding the category image in the settings of the category and select “categories only” in the Desktop category page style setting.
Then you already have something like

You can hide the name and the numbers of topics and everything else you don’t want with CSS. See Making custom CSS changes on your site; you want some display: none;.

This is the CSS they use in their theme, but their forum wasn’t updated for more than a year, so things may have changed:
