Dark mode for existing Alabaster project

[castania pilonga]

Hi,

I don't know much about Sphinx. Is there any way to convert an existing Alabaster project into "dark mode"?

Thank you!

I guess it's not that easy and I will have to configure everything manually. Still I'd like to try, but don't know how.

What file should I edit? I cannot find where colors are configured.

Thanks

Castania,

learning from the theme's CSS is a good start https://github.com/sphinx-doc/alabaster/blob/master/alabaster/static/alabaster.css_t#L63

Make additions and replacements as desired in the `custom.css` file on the `static` folder of the template.

The keywords you're looking for are "how to customise Sphinx themes" or "Sphinx custom CSS" as in https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/adding-custom-css.html

Cheers,

Jayson
