# Doxygen Awesome
[](https://github.com/jothepro/doxygen-awesome-css/releases/latest)
[](https://github.com/jothepro/doxygen-awesome-css/blob/main/LICENSE)
**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 But IMHO it looks a bit outdated.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
- downloading the project with CMake FetchContent
- 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
```
### CMake with FetchContent
For project that build with CMake, the `FetchContent` module can be used to download the repository at configure-time.
Add the following snippet to your `CMakeLists.txt`
```cmake
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
doxygen-awesome-css
URL https://github.com/jothepro/doxygen-awesome-css/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(doxygen-awesome-css)
# Save the location the files were cloned into
# This allows us to get the path to doxygen-awesome.css
FetchContent_GetProperties(doxygen-awesome-css SOURCE_DIR AWESOME_CSS_DIR)
# Generate the Doxyfile
set(DOXYFILE_IN ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/Doxyfile.in)
set(DOXYFILE_OUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/Doxyfile)
configure_file(${DOXYFILE_IN} ${DOXYFILE_OUT} @ONLY)
```
This downloads the latest main (but any other revision could be used) and unpacks in the build folder. The `Doxyfile.in` can reference this location in the `HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET` field
```text
HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET = @AWESOME_CSS_DIR@/doxygen-awesome.css
```
When the configure stage of CMake is run, the `Doxyfile.in` is rendered to Doxyfile and Doxygen can be run as usual.
### 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:
- Base Theme
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
```
- Sidebar-Only Theme
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
```
@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!
