Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the theme's navbar and version-switcher styling, then reproduce the cluttered small-screen layout shown in the issue images. Done means the switcher has no unwanted bottom margin and the link icons wrap acceptably on narrow screens.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The icons and version switcher are cluttered:

Suggested changes:

  • Remove bottom margin from version switcher:

    I believe this is necessary only in our theme, because pydata-sphinx-theme places the switcher differently. In our theme, it's bound together with the dark-mode switch.

  • Optionally, let the link icons wrap:
