### Features

Before

 ![Default Discourse header](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/2/e2c72c66efceb2b0ffa61a14120de34e3c953695.png)  
After

 ![Modified Discourse header](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/1/31b4db672bc0bffb593fac166e6ab37897998425.png)

It reduces the header height by about 50% by not showing the topic category / tags. The results on mobile are similar to what you see above. All the changes are purely visual and the rest of the header functionality remains unchanged.
