Some good Sphinx customization examples?

Time to start collecting links.

  • https://github.com/coordt/ADCtheme - Apple-like
  • https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask-sphinx-themes - Flask
  • http://loose-bits.com/2012/11/19/sphinx-bootstrap-theme-updates.html - Twitter Bootstrap
  • https://github.com/snide/sphinx_rtd_theme - Theme of Read the Docs
  • https://github.com/bitprophet/alabaster - Based on the Flask
  • https://gitlab.com/documatt/sphinx-themes - themes collection for tech writing

Have a look at some of these themes. As the projects are open source you should be able to examine them closely.


Matplotlib documentation is an excellent example I think. They even have a detailed description at documenting matplotlib: dynamically generated figures and inheritance diagrams are their custom extensions to Sphinx I think. Their documentation has a custom logo too.

I would guess that you should be able to download the RST document source for most projects.
