## What it is
Furo is a clean, customizable HTML theme for the Sphinx documentation generator, distributed on PyPI. It offers responsive layouts, light/dark modes, sidebar navigation, and extensive customization options for colors, fonts, and branding.

## Use cases
- make my python project docs look modern
- sphinx theme with dark mode support
- customize colors and fonts in sphinx docs
- responsive documentation site for a library
- clean minimal theme for API reference docs
- style sphinx documentation with a three-column layout

## When to choose
- you use Sphinx and want a polished, maintained theme out of the box
- your documentation set is small-to-medium and fits in a sidebar hierarchy
- you need light/dark mode and easy color/font customization

## When to avoid
- you use MkDocs, Jekyll, or another non-Sphinx static site generator
- you have very large docsets needing collapsible full-hierarchy navigation
- you need a fully bespoke design rather than a customizable theme

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, templating, theme
- domain: documentation, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: sphinx, sphinx-theme, documentation-theme, responsive, dark-mode, customizable, minimal, web-server
