What is this? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a modified version of the default Sphinx theme with the following goals:

  1. Remove frivolous colors, especially hard-coded ones
  2. Improve readability by limiting width and using more whitespace
  3. Encourage visual customization through CSS, not themeconf
  4. Use semantic markup

v0.1 meets goals one and two. Goal three is partially complete; it's simple to add your own CSS file without creating a whole new theme. Open a ticket if you'd like something changed.
