Short description
A very simple and unofficial alternative to the more fleshed out older sibling: Alternative Voting Category Style
Made to address this old feature request, and because the other TC hides the standard columns.
Another difference is that this TC will automatically know which categories have voting enabled, no need to add them separately in the theme settings.
Detailed description
By default:
- it only shows the vote number
- no styling
- only shows when viewing a category that has voting enabled
Setting: show everywhere
By ticking this box, the vote column will appear on all topic-list views, which may or may not look empty depending on your forum
Setting: Hide “Vote” tab
Because the vote column can also be sorted, the extra “Vote” tab is superfluous. Check this setting to hide the tab.
Setting: Bells & Whistles styling
For fun
Will add mildly funky styling to the column:
- greyed out for topics with no votes
- blue for topics with votes
- red for topics that are “hot” (see next setting)
- A “stamp” to mark you have voted
The colours are determined by tertiary and danger-hover.
Setting: Minimum votes to be 
Determines when the hot-styling gets applied. Only has an effect if the Bells&Whistles mode is on. Set to zero to not apply the effect.
Notes
- only works on desktop
- only tested in chromium for now and very happy path
