BTW I reduced the width from 70px to 50px. It looked better this way. How about removing that css from the html tag itself and rather create a css class? That way it’s easier to override the CSS in an update-safe manner. I had to change the theme component’s code to adjust width. I will have to reapply those changes manually after updating it.

Alternatively add it as a setting for the theme component backend. 😉

keep up the good work, the component is great!

PS: Would love to have a similar component but for a “Latest Post” column like in [Sam’s Minimal Theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sams-personal-minimal-topic-list-design/23552) or [MD Topic List](https://meta.discourse.org/t/md-topic-list-component/117694). This wish comes my community directly.
