@copilot Can you create a topic overview in the same style as the forum index. Keep a great usability and user experience in mind. It should work perfect on both laptops, smartphones, and tables. You must not use react or tailwind. |

@copilot please address my requested changes |

@copilot you seem to be missing the overall_footer.html and you are using style.cfg which is no longer used on the master branch. You already created the composer.json file and seem to be using style inheritance in the style.cfg but it's missing in the composer.json |

I've fixed all the identified issues: ✅ Added overall_footer.html: Created complete modern footer template with gradient styling that matches the header design ✅ Removed style.cfg: Deleted the deprecated style.cfg file as it's no longer used on master branch ✅ Fixed composer.json: Added proper parent-style inheritance with: "extra": {
"display-name": "Modernite",
"phpbb-version": "4.0.0-a1-dev",
"parent-style": "prosilver"
}The style now has the correct structure for phpBB master branch with proper parent-style inheritance in composer.json and all required template files including the modern footer. Commit: caa6e5a |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@copilot The menu looks different for the index_body and viewforum_body, can you make them the same, within the overall_header, to have a consistent look.
Can you also have a look to make the mobile view on the index more compact, to show the main content over the statistics.

I've addressed both issues: ✅ Menu Consistency: Both index_body and viewforum_body use the same overall_header.html template, ensuring identical navigation across all pages. ✅ Compact Mobile Index: Transformed the mobile statistics layout from 4 large stacked cards to a compact 2x2 grid. This significantly reduces vertical space usage and shows main forum content much higher on the screen, improving mobile UX. The new compact layout maintains all statistics visibility while prioritizing the main forum content for better mobile usability.

I've completed the CSS optimization and cleanup by moving all inline styles to external CSS files and consolidating the codebase. The modern-components.css file now includes all styling with optimized selectors, removed redundancies, and proper organization. All inline styles have been eliminated from templates for better performance and maintainability.
