Note for now much of the docs is LLM written. This was done to save time and focus on code development. The docs have been LOOSLEY reviewed. However, the code itself has been either fully written by hand or fully reviewed. Therefore, the docs should at the moment be seen as a loose resource rather than authoratiative (and this is on top of the general ability for docs to drift)

**Doxygen Awesome** is a custom CSS theme for Doxygen HTML documentation with lots of customization parameters.
|
|
|
|
## Motivation
|
|
|
|
I really like how the Doxygen HTML documentation is structured! But IMHO it looks a bit outdated.
|
|
|
|
This theme is an attempt to update the visuals of Doxygen without changing its overall layout too much.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- 🌈 Clean, modern design
|
|
- 🚀 Heavily customizable by adjusting CSS variables
|
|
- 🧩 No changes to the HTML structure of Doxygen are required
|
|
- 📱 Improved mobile usability
|
|
- 🌘 Dark mode support!
|
|
- 🥇 Works best with **doxygen 1.9.1** - **1.9.4** and **1.9.6** - **1.12.0**
|
|
|

## Installation
|
|
|
|
To use the theme when generating your documentation, bring the required CSS and JS files from this repository into your project.
|
|
|
|
This can be done in several ways:
|
|
|
|
- manually copying the files
|
|
- adding the project as a Git submodule
|
|
- adding the project as a npm/xpm dependency
|
|
- installing the theme system-wide
|
|
|
|
All theme files are located in the root of this repository and start with the prefix `doxygen-awesome-`. You may not need all of them. Follow the install instructions to figure out what files are required for your setup.
|
|
|
|
### Git submodule
|
|
For projects that use git, add the repository as a submodule and check out the desired release:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git submodule add https://github.com/jothepro/doxygen-awesome-css.git
|
|
cd doxygen-awesome-css
|
|
git checkout v2.3.4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### npm/xpm dependency
|
|
|
|
In the npm ecosystem, this project can be added as a development dependency
|
|
to your project:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd your-project
|
|
npm install https://github.com/jothepro/doxygen-awesome-css#v2.3.4 --save-dev
|
|
|
|
ls -l node_module/@jothepro/doxygen-awesome-css
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Similarly, in the [xPack](https://xpack.github.io) ecosystem, this project can be added
|
|
as a development dependency to an [`xpm`](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/)
|
|
managed project.
|
|
|
|
### System-wide
|
|
|
|
You can even install the theme system-wide by running `make install`.
|
|
The files will be installed to `/usr/local/share/` by default,
|
|
but you can customize the install location with `make PREFIX=/my/custom/path install`.
|
|
|
|
### Choosing a layout
|
|
|
|
There are two layout options. Choose one of them and configure Doxygen accordingly:
|
|
|
|
<div class="tabbed">
|
|
|
|
- <b class="tab-title">Base Theme</b><div class="darkmode_inverted_image">
|
|

|
|
</div>
|
|
Comes with the typical Doxygen titlebar. Optionally the treeview in the sidebar can be enabled.
|
|
|
|
Required files: `doxygen-awesome.css`
|
|
|
|
Required `Doxyfile` configuration:
|
|
```
|
|
GENERATE_TREEVIEW = YES # optional. Also works without treeview
|
|
DISABLE_INDEX = NO
|
|
FULL_SIDEBAR = NO
|
|
HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET = doxygen-awesome-css/doxygen-awesome.css
|
|
HTML_COLORSTYLE = LIGHT # required with Doxygen >= 1.9.5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- <b class="tab-title">Sidebar-Only Theme</b><div class="darkmode_inverted_image">
|
|

|
|
</div>
|
|
Hides the top titlebar to give more space to the content. The treeview must be enabled in order for this theme to work.
|
|
|
|
Required files: `doxygen-awesome.css`, `doxygen-awesome-sidebar-only.css`
|
|
|
|
Required `Doxyfile` configuration:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
GENERATE_TREEVIEW = YES # required!
|
|
DISABLE_INDEX = NO
|
|
FULL_SIDEBAR = NO
|
|
HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET = doxygen-awesome-css/doxygen-awesome.css \
|
|
doxygen-awesome-css/doxygen-awesome-sidebar-only.css
|
|
HTML_COLORSTYLE = LIGHT # required with Doxygen >= 1.9.5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
@warning
|
|
- This theme is not compatible with the `FULL_SIDEBAR = YES` option provided by Doxygen!
|
|
- `HTML_COLORSTYLE` must be set to `LIGHT` since Doxygen 1.9.5!
|
|
