I love this feature about Django.

Hello Django Fanatic here! Last night I started experimenting with Django’s ability to override styles. I had to share because of course I want exposure but these themes started making me giggle.

So here is what the standard view has been for a while now. It’s just a basic monochromatic darkish theme that is somewhat boring but professional.

I extended the user Profile model to store the options so users can choose a theme and the website renders the preferred style. I <3 Django, thank you for everyone who has ever contributed anything to the project.**

I’ll bite. Is this a package?

No it’s not. I just extended the user model to save user options and used Django’s css overrides to apply them. If I need to go in depth I would have to really dig deeper because I used co pilot to do most of it. If you want I could invite you to the project to take a peek or you can clone it and try to pull out what you can.
