Question Customization

Hello, noone has been able to answer this yet, so if you can help me with it, I will be super stoked.

Running Kunena on a Helix3 framework. I want to customize the forum 'start' page (the place the user is taken when they first enter the forum section) so that it displays:

1. List of topics in category named "Blue"
2. list of sub-categories in section "White"

It's very important I find a way to do this, either through template overrides, custom module placement, or some other means, for the flow of the site. Any ideas?

Forgot this:

You can select the categories on the kunena config. -> frontend -> Category List in Recent Topics

Does anyone have an answer to this?

Is there any way to assign different templates to different category streams in Kunena? If not, why not? This feature would solve many different problems in Kunena in terms of customization, and I strongly advocate it in future versions.

I'm sorry, but different templates for individual categories are not possible. You can use only different colors for chosen categories.
