Unexpected font/styling in newly rendered documentation after updating sphinx-book-theme and pydata-sphinx-theme

[bbye98]

Describe the bug

context

Hello!

I've been using the Sphinx book theme for my personal project's documentation because I like the simplistic styling. However, the HTML version that I rendered today using sphinx-build ... looks completely different from my previous version that I committed to GitHub a while ago (see image below for comparison).

Notably,

• fonts and styling are completely different,
• the "Theme by the Executable Book Project" in the sidebar disappeared, but
• there is now a toggle for light/dark mode, which is pretty neat.

I suspect this has to do with my updating of sphinx-book-theme today since I also upgraded a bunch of other libraries, but is there a way to revert to the old styling without downgrading? I did not make any changes to conf.py or index.rst (or anything else related to Sphinx); I simply ran sphinx-build ... as I would normally.

Edit: I can confirm that downgrading from sphinx-book-theme=1.0.1 and pydata-sphinx-theme=0.13.3 to sphinx-book-theme=0.3.3 and pydata-sphinx-theme=0.8.1 gives me back the old font/styling.

expectation

I expected the old and new versions of my documentation to have the same font/styling.

bug

But instead, the new HTML render of my documentation looks completely different.
