Guys, I’ve been busy with my self-deployed discourse community recently, but as you know, I’m a complete novice. So I came to the official website of discourse to have a look, and I saw a very beautiful theme style(It’s the website you see now), so I would like to ask you what theme is used? Thank you very much​🙏

Meta uses a custom theme created by CDCK. It is not open-source, so you can’t use it on your own site. However, you can always browse #Customization > Theme to find other themes for your site!

> We’ve just shipped a second iteration of our theme rebuild. While the first update was a visual refresh built on top of the previous Meta Branded theme, this version is essentially a new theme rebuilt from scratch. The new brand language was already introduced with the previous release, so there isn’t that much visible change on that front. What’s changed significantly with this update is the theme implementation itself, and what it showcases about where we’re heading with Discourse customizatio…

The theme used is a private theme called Meta Branded. The code is not public, however. But you can achieve a similar style with Blocks and some good CSS.
