Should we change to furo theme?

Describe the feature

Should we change the documentation theme from rtd, to furo?

See the difference here:

• furo
• rtd

What do you say?

@tfrederiksen @sofiasanz @pfebrer comments? Please note the installation tab which has some "tabs" that I think could be useful for doing various things.

Remarkably the search function works in furo... Hmmm
.

[pfebrer]

I like the RTD theme better, I don't know why some packages are moving to other themes for documentation 😅

Of course if the search bar doesn't work that's something to consider... hahah

Is it only me or the furo theme gives a very large margin on the left?:

[zerothi]

Yeah, I had the same issue, but actually if you look at the two in neighbouring windows you'll see that RTD has the same margin, just left-aligned.

@pfebrer did you try the dark theme? I kind of like that one...

I think many have moved to furo since it is used by pip and some of its associated packages. So it is endorsed by the built-devs which always takes many followers :)
I just found this: readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1452

This seems to solve the issue, now searching should be back! :)

[zerothi]

Ok, we'll not change to furo. :)

I also tend to prefer RTD, mostly because this is what I'm used to. Great you found a fix for the search function!
