Docs' theme is inconsistent with books'

I will preface this with that I'm a very new member of the Rust community.

I have read most of the learner's book and skimmed several others such as by example, the 'nomicon, the linked lists book and design patterns and noticed a consistent theme and style to them. I've noticed that there is a menu to select between 5 themes in these books, and the generated docs only allow 3 and sadly my favorite theme "rust" isn't among them.

I will also add that I would like to contribute to this community and would be willing to submit the pull request myself if and when I am familiar enough to do so, and would appreciate any guidance given in this area.

The short version, themes "rust" and "coal" are missing from docs

Welcome!

As an initial pointer, the CSS for the rustdoc themes is here and the CSS for the mdbook themes is here, in particular variables.css.

Thanks for the pointer, I could see 2 possible approaches

  1. Add CSS for the missing themes to rustdoc

  2. Replicate the book theme switching design into rustdoc

I think I will focus on doing 1. for now, and if any other themes get added it will make sense to unify them.
