Try switching themes

[IAlibay]

Sorry I didn't want to steal work, I just wanted to try this out a bit and get a feel for how it worked.

In this PR:

• Switching themes
• Deleting a bunch of unused stuff
• Fixing all the doc build warnings

[IAlibay]

Looks like we need to unpin sphinx, that might break the datatables stuff, that'll be interesting to fix. fixed

[IAlibay]

So fun upside of this - the datatable still shows, downside is that it's now horribly squashed looking. fixed

[IAlibay]

This from seems to do the trick in making sure the table isn't horribly squashed: readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1287 (comment)

I suspect this isn't something we'd want to upstream since we don't really use dataTables anywhere else in the ecosystem?

[lilyminium]

Hmmm I reckon we should upstream this! It's unlikely it'd affect anything else and if we do want to use datatables in the future, I assume we'd want to apply the same styling. Also it seems like a pity to keep this file just for this part.

[lilyminium]

Added as a commit for now -- of course I can revert if you disagree!

[IAlibay]

Cheers, let's see if that does the trick.

[IAlibay]

Alright, thanks @lilyminium, I think this all works? I'll avoid merging this until you give us the thumbs up that it's good to go ahead (probably post merge of https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis-sphinx-theme/compare/update-theme).

[lilyminium]

Thanks @IAlibay! It LGTM but I agree it's a good idea to wait until https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis-sphinx-theme/compare/update-theme is in -- I'll make a new release at that point too, so we can avoid pinning to development branches :D I'll check how the docs look on some other core repos first but otherwise I think we're pretty close, the mdakit and smaller repos have less complicated docs so shouldn't require too many theme updates.

[IAlibay]

Thanks for all the work here @lilyminium - sorry I can't be more useful, it is something I would have loved to spend more time getting to grips with.

[IAlibay]

Works great!
