I know this may not be possible or even useful to most, but given how popular Jenkins is, it would seemingly make sense to support in some way Jenkins themes.

Right so I should probably pin an issue somewhere but for new themes basically the procedure is as follows:

  • someone suggests a theme they would like to use (do that on Slack, or at FranklinTemplates.jl)
  • we provide a draft port of the theme
  • we ask the someone to use the port and ping back and forth with issues so that we can polish the theme together
  • theme is released for everyone

There's three currently "draft-mode" theme like this:

Unfortunately the requesters seem quite busy so for now these are a bit slow moving.

In short: porting themes is relatively easy to do, I'm happy to help, but I do want people to help back. If someone wants a new theme or to start a website with a given theme, I will help them quite a lot but the counterpart is that they help me polish the port for others to use.
Given I only have so much time; I won't randomly port themes unless it's somehow directly useful to someone :)

You're a rockstar, thank you! I'll wait until I need this more urgently but can definitely help at some point.
