Docs — a NimbusCMS theme

A fast documentation + marketing theme for NimbusCMS. Plain PHP templates, one hand-written stylesheet, zero JavaScript, system fonts — it lives the performance claim. Extracted from nimbuscms.dev. An official theme.

Look

A centered reading column for prose and legal pages, a landing hero for the home singleton, and a documentation surface with a grouped sidebar (docnav). Light and dark both handled by the single stylesheet.

Install

A theme is a directory. Drop it into your site's themes/ folder as docs/:

git clone https://github.com/NimbusCMS/nimbus-theme-docs themes/docs

Then pick it in the admin (Settings → Theme), or set it in config/theme.php:

<?php return 'docs';

What it expects

• a home singleton for the landing page (entry-home);
• a pages collection for prose/legal pages (entry);
• optionally a docs collection for the documentation surface (entry-docs, collection-docs, and the docs nav sidebar). Pairs well with the official Markdown plugin for page bodies.

Drop the docs templates and the nav key from theme.json to run it as a plain marketing + prose site.
