Hey everyone, I wanted to clear up a couple things about the features of the plan this forum is on and talk a little about themes and custom theme components. First off, the forum isn’t self-hosted or paid for. Forest negotiated conditional free hosting from Discourse, which basically means that since the forum meets a certain set of guidelines, we are hosted by them. > This is your _pro bono_ Discourse community, hosted by the people who make Discourse! For more information about the pro bono hosting plan, [see here](https://free.discourse.group/). The plan itself is also a little unique and is sort of a cross between the Starter and Standard plans. We have 50k pageviews per month, access to theme components and themes, some plugins, solutions, and so on, but not quite as many options or bandwith as the Standard plan does. Anyways, to move on to the next subject, the forum doesn’t have any themes- the only theme component is a little CSS I found and edited that changes staff username and shield color to be a light blue. ```auto span.username { &.moderator .d-icon.d-icon-shield-halved { color: #2596be; } &.admin .d-icon.d-icon-shield-halved { color: #2596be; } } span.username { &.moderator a { color: #2596be; } &.admin a { color: #2596be; } } ``` But a lot of people like having themes other than the default one, so if you have any requests you can reply to this message or contact the staff. Additional themes don’t cost us anything, including storage. The other thing is that Forest has brought up the creation of a Prodigy theme several times. I’m going to work on developing this although the biggest hurdle will probably involve fair use and copyright. Anyways, bottom line here is that there are lots of themes we can add, and you can search [Theme - Discourse Meta](http://meta.discourse.org/c/theme) if you’re curious to look at some. If you want to make your own theme, you can make it a Git repository or give us the code and we’ll add it into a custom theme here on the forum directly. Thanks for reading this shortish message and have a good afternoon. ---

I would suggest making this a topic in #General instead of just a PM, so it’s more widely available. Just a mere suggestion on my part… 😅 * * * > [@turtle](#): > > Nah, I don’t want to cause clutter. Ahh, okie… 👍🏻 ---

Nah, I don’t want to cause clutter. Plus I added everyone using [@trust\_level\_0](https://prodigy-game.discourse.group/groups/trust_level_0). ---

I was thinking for the theme, something like this? ( a map-looking background) ![2025_03_04_0o3_Kleki](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prodigygame/original/2X/4/446295741a1237d600e2cdb9d5cdca3e6f74c3b9.png) > **version without example layout** > > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/prodigygame/original/2X/b/bc0aedde8ae36dcce8068e543dd5a8a2a3fa2d17.jpeg) I can probably look at prodigy and try to similarly replicate the style. (this was just a lazy mix-together) ---

If you do the art, I’ll do the code lol. I mean like using Prodigy assets would be a challenge in terms of legality and getting them. ---

Try [DarkPixlz's Modern Theme - Theme - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/darkpixlzs-modern-theme/232543?u=twofoursixeight) theme as it has a customizable background (and multiple themes user-customizable.) and this theme component: [Sidebar Theme Toggle - Theme component - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sidebar-theme-toggle/242802) ---

Also keep the default themes incase people don’t like the new themes. (Add the theme toggle to every theme though) ---

“Mint Theme” and “Graceful Theme” would be great if you add them. ---

i think darkpixlz’s theme is sort of space-ish. i think it has a theme to make it space-ish. ---

It looks fire right now already but the dimensions should just be a version of the size of the tab if that makes sense. Also everyone try using Oyaim’s pink as your color palatte. ---
