At the time of writing this post, we only have the default discourse themes, but the colors have been modified to focus on red, cause that’s what The Fire Panel is known for. There are currently 4 theme options, and you can choose what you like! We have opted to make the default the “Dark” theme, but you can set it to whatever you prefer:

Once you have chosen a theme you’re happy with, you can also select a separate theme for when your browser is in dark mode.

Our default home page is set to ‘Categories’ mode, however if you’d rather have a different setting, you can choose that with the “Default Home Page” setting. In this example, I’ve set the default to “Latest”

Finally, there are lots of check boxes for simple settings you may like. Feel free to set those to your preferences. The customization is really nice!
