[Python-Dev] Playing with a new theme for the docs (original) (raw)

Nice and clean, but looks too similar to newer Google properties... Also I see that (like Google) you're falling for the fallacy of using less contrast. From an accessibility perspective that's questionable -- and I don't mean the legally blind, just people like myself whose eyes are getting a bit older. This also means I don't particularly like adding background color (no matter how light) to text samples.

Hi all,

recently I've grown a bit tired of seeing our default Sphinx theme, especially as so many other projects use it.  I decided to play around with something "clean" this time, and this is the result:  http://www.python.org/~gbrandl/build/html/ The corresponding sandbox repo is at  http://hg.python.org/sandbox/doc-theme/#doc-theme Let me know what you think, or play around and send some improvements. (The collapsible sidebar is not adapted to it yet, but will definitely be integrated before I consider applying a new theme to the real docs.)
