A quick read of the recorded project description.

Provides both dark and light modes

Requires an Astro Starlight documentation site as a prerequisite

README provides a getting-started guide and multiple example pages

Released under the MIT license, allowing modification, commercial use, and distribution

Template Details

starlight-theme-rapide is a third-party theme for Astro Starlight documentation sites. Its visual style references the Visual Studio Code Vitesse theme and provides both dark and light color schemes. It changes the appearance of a documentation site by replacing Starlight's default styles, making it suitable for projects already built with Starlight that want a color scheme closer to an editor theme.

The repository README provides a getting-started guide and links to multiple example pages; the demo site lets you see the theme's actual effect on documentation elements such as body text and callouts. The theme itself does not change how Starlight organizes content, and a Starlight documentation site must already be in place before use.

The code is released under the MIT license, permitting use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license checks; external service costs such as hosting and domains are not included.

Technologies: Astro
Website type: Documentation

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.

What to verify for this project

Repository update recorded: 2026-09-15
Screenshot last checked: 2026-10-01

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.
