MkDocs Boring Theme

This is the MkDocs Boring Theme. It is based on the CSS framework Min which claims to be one of the slimmest but also one of the most compatible CSS frameworks.

Check out the demo page to get a feeling of this theme.

Goal

The goal is to provide a lightweight theme which still does not look too awkward. Min promotes itself as being only 995 bytes, which is hard to challenge.

It's ultimately small size requires a few overwriting features which can be found in css/boring.css.

Install & Usage

The boring theme is packaged and available on PyPI:

pip install mkdocs-boring-theme

If you want to use the theme in your MkDocs project simply include it in the mkdocs.yml:

theme:
  name: boring

Configuration

The theme allows the usage of two new configuration parameters:

provider_name: Example
provider_url: https://example.com

The provider will be shown in the top-left corner which can link to the providers home page.

Todo List

This theme is a work in progress. It lacks a few features, which I try to list here

• Nested menus with dropdown effects
• Minimizing css/boring.css
