kts-dark-theme 0.1.0

KTS Dark theme for JupyterLab

kts_dark_theme

Dark theme for Knowing the Sky. Experimental, not yet for distribution.

dev environment setup

Create a conda environment with at least:

• jupyterlab>=4.3.1
• jupyterlab-myst
• python<3.14
• nodejs=22 (do not use your system node)

make is also required.

If you have the dependencies for Knowing The Sky installed, the only additional requirement is nodejs=22.

Do not install hatch-jupyter-builder.

dev installation

initial

run make build && make install. This will download all node dependencies, perform an initial build of the extension, and symlink it to the central Jupyter extensions directory. Now the extension should be available in JupyterLab, and changes you make to kts_dark_theme/labextension/themes/kts-dark-theme/index.css will appear in JupyterLab on page reload.

rebuild

If you want to ship changes to the theme, run make rebuild. This will propagate changes from kts_dark_theme/labextension/themes/kts-dark-theme/index.css into the non-editable ("regular") version of the extension.

reinstall/relink

If your links get messed up somehow such that you can't rebuild the package or Jupyter can't find your editable CSS, run make reinstall. Do not attempt to relink by directly reinstalling the package with pip. The Lab extension build sequence will cause this to fail.

full reinstall

Run make clean && make build && make install.

A note on PyCharm

The package includes ESLint configurations, which PyCharm will attempt to automatically use. It will probably fail unless you have all the correct node packages and a compatible .stylelintrc available at system level. This will create annoying error messages when editing many files. To fix this, you can either install them at system level or go to Settings/Stylelint and point it to the node module jlpm installed when you did the initial install: node_modules/stylelint (relative to repo root)
