Pixie Dark

Pixie Dark is a content-first dark Drupal theme for organizations and product families that need a shared visual system without hard-coding site copy into Twig templates. Drupal manages page content, menus, language links, metadata, blocks, and media; Pixie Dark supplies the responsive presentation.

Highlights

• Four coordinated visual variants: Pixie Works, PixieFlow, PixieCore, and Twinkle.
• Content-first front pages that keep copy and media editable in Drupal.
• Standard Drupal regions for headers, menus, messages, content, sidebars, and footers.
• Responsive landing pages, inner pages, and authentication routes.
• Keyboard-focusable skip link, visible focus states, and reduced-motion handling.
• An installable pixie_example subtheme with replaceable starter assets.

Requirements

• Drupal 10.3 or later, or Drupal 11.
• Copyright Footer 3.2 or later.

Installation

composer require drupal/pixie_dark
drush pm:install copyright_footer -y
drush theme:enable pixie_dark
drush config:set system.theme default pixie_dark -y
drush cache:rebuild

Configuration

Choose the visual variant at Appearance → Settings → Pixie Dark. The variant changes presentation only. Site identity, navigation, page copy, language links, canonical URLs, social metadata, and media remain Drupal configuration or content.

Content model

Pixie Dark always renders Drupal's content region. A full front-page node can own the semantic landing-page structure while the theme supplies the matching CSS. Place Site Branding, Main navigation, utility navigation, breadcrumbs, messages, and one Copyright Footer block in the corresponding regions.

Documentation and support

The package includes a detailed README, asset provenance, release notes, a release checklist, and the pixie_example starter subtheme. Report reproducible defects in the project issue queue with the Drupal version, PHP version, selected visual variant, affected route, and steps to reproduce.
