Overview
I’ve seen a number of previous requests over the years for ways to highlight the topic author in subsequent topic posts, and this theme component is designed to do that.
This is a lightweight Discourse theme component that adds a coloured halo around topic author avatars in topics. The halo will appear around the topic author’s avatar in all posts in their topic (and pms), making it easier to identify the them in long topics with a lot of participants.
There are settings to allow admins to specify halo color, size and transparency.
Settings:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Halo Color | Color of the topic author halo, can use Discourse color vars (best for dark/light mode compatibility, e.g.: var(--tertiary)), hex color codes, or html color names |
| Halo Size | Size of halo (small, medium or large) |
| Halo Transparency | Halo transparency (0.25 = 25%, 0.5 = 50%, 0.75 = 75%, 1.0 = 100%) |
Screenshot of result:
Note that to avoid confusion, this component should not be used with Group Avatar Halos.
