Template Details

Starlight Theme Galaxy is a customized theme based on Astro Starlight, distributed as an npm package and integrated into existing documentation sites through the Starlight plugin mechanism. It targets scenarios involving the publication of documentation and educational content (tutorials, course materials), adjusting the visual presentation on top of Starlight's default structure.

The theme includes: typography adjustments using the Inter and JetBrains Mono fonts; custom themes and styles for Expressive Code code blocks; a reading progress scrollbar in the header; a theme toggle button with sun/moon animation and transitions; custom styles for Starlight components such as asides, cards, badges, tabs, and steps; support for banner and splash page variants; use of CSS cascade layers to facilitate style overrides; and both light and dark themes with responsive layout.

Usage involves installing the npm package and registering it as a plugin in the Starlight integration in astro.config.mjs, while the project's own title and content configuration remain handled by Starlight. The repository is under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as images, fonts, and icons appearing in the demo need separate license verification; external services such as domains and hosting may incur additional charges.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Astro as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
