I was a bit lazy today so I'll update the code with a better version later on.

Updates: I've updated the threadbit code so it's not perfect, if not post your issue and I'll try my best to help :). (Redownload the threadbit.txt)

1. Go to Forumdisplay and replace all the code with the txt I've provided in the forumdisplay.txt.

2. Go to threadbit and replace all the code with the txt I've provided in the threadbit.txt.

And that's it!

I'll update this mod way more later on when I have more time, I just thought to share this and see if others would like to customize it and see my concept and do their own thing.

How would I apply this to only one forum?

I highly doubt you'd be able to.

1. Simple, first we make a custom template and lets title it "customized_displayforum" go to you styles manager and go to Forum Display Templates>FORUM DISPLAY, copy and paste the default (unmodified) code and paste it into our newly made "customized_displayforum".

2. Now we add the lines below at the beginning of our code. Make sure that the forumid you want to have a customized view to be 1.

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$foruminfo[title_clean]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
<if condition="$show['inlinemod']"><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_inlinemod.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

<if condition="$forumid == 1">
<else />
... (Template)

</if>
$footer


3. Go into the Plugin manager, create a new product then create a forumdisplay_complete hook like so:
eval('$customized_displayforum = "' . fetch_template('customized_displayforum') . '";');

4. Go back into Forum Display Templates>FORUM DISPLAY from the styles manager and place the variable we defined in the hook $customized_displayforum at the very top like so:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$foruminfo[title_clean]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
<if condition="$show['inlinemod']"><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_inlinemod.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar


<if condition="$forumid == 1">
$displayresources
<else />

....
</if>

$footer


Customize your customized_displayforum template to your liking, then view forum 1 for results. I hope this helps for others!

PS: If you want the custom display to view in multiple forums you can do so like this:
<if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(a,b,c,x,y,z))">
Just replace the a,b,c,x,y,z with the forumids. So if you want the customized forumdisplay to be viewed in forum 1, 5 and 6 you would place this code.
<if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(1,5,6))">
