When installed and added to your Sphinx conf.py, it injects a toggle button in the bottom right corner of your documentation site, letting readers switch between light and dark color schemes. The reader's choice is saved in their browser's local storage, so their preference persists across visits.\n\nThe extension is lightweight\u2014it has only one runtime dependency, sphinx-rtd-theme\u2014and requires minimal configuration. You can set a default mode (dark or light) for first-time visitors, but after that, the user's stored preference takes over. The package is marked Production/Stable and has been dormant since late 2023, suggesting it is feature-complete rather than actively developed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Sphinx with the Read the Docs theme and want to offer dark mode to your readers. Installation is straightforward, maintenance burden is minimal, and the permissive MIT license poses no legal risk. The dormant status is not a concern for a feature-complete extension; however, verify compatibility with your current sphinx-rtd-theme version before deploying to production."},"id":"sphinx-rtd-dark-mode","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinx-rtd-dark-mode","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinx-rtd-dark-mode.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-rtd-dark-mode/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-09-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sphinx-rtd-dark-mode","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Dark mode for the Sphinx Read the Docs theme."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":262700,"position":8368,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.0"}
