Slidev Themes
This covers the full lifecycle of Slidev theming, from applying official themes like seriph or apple-basic to ejecting and modifying them when you need deeper control. The themeConfig system lets you customize colors and typography without touching source code, which handles most cases. When it doesn't, the eject command copies everything local so you can edit layouts and components directly. The theme creation guide is thorough, walking through package structure, Vue components, and CSS variables for light/dark mode support. Worth noting that Slidev auto-installs missing themes, and there's a decent community gallery beyond the built-in options. If you're building presentations programmatically or maintaining a design system across multiple decks, this gives you the patterns to do it right.
