# Default Theme Config
Theme config lets you customize your theme. You can define theme config via the `themeConfig` option in the config file:
```ts
export default {
lang: 'en-US',
title: 'VitePress',
description: 'Vite & Vue powered static site generator.',
// Theme related configurations.
themeConfig: {
logo: '/logo.svg',
nav: [...],
sidebar: { ... }
}
}
```
**The options documented on this page only apply to the default theme.** Different themes expect different theme config. When using a custom theme, the theme config object will be passed to the theme so the theme can define conditional behavior based on it.
## i18nRouting
- Type: `boolean`
Changing locale to say `zh` will change the URL from `/foo` (or `/en/foo/`) to `/zh/foo`. You can disable this behavior by setting `themeConfig.i18nRouting` to `false`.
## logo
- Type: `ThemeableImage`
Logo file to display in nav bar, right before the site title. Accepts a path string, or an object to set a different logo for light/dark mode.
```ts
export default {
themeConfig: {
logo: '/logo.svg'
}
}
```
```ts
type ThemeableImage =
| string
| { src: string; alt?: string }
| { light: string; dark: string; alt?: string }
```
## siteTitle
- Type: `string | false`
You can customize this item to replace the default site title (`title` in app config) in nav. When set to `false`, title in nav will be disabled. Useful when you have `logo` that already contains the site title text.
```ts
export default {
themeConfig: {
siteTitle: 'Hello World'
}
}
```
## nav
- Type: `NavItem`
The configuration for the nav menu item. More details in [Default Theme: Nav](./default-theme-nav#navigation-links).

export default {
themeConfig: {
nav: [

{
text: 'Dropdown Menu',
items: [
{ text: 'Item A', link: '/item-1' },
{ text: 'Item B', link: '/item-2' },
{ text: 'Item C', link: '/item-3' }
]
}
]
}
}
```
```ts
type NavItem = NavItemWithLink | NavItemWithChildren
interface NavItemWithLink {
text: string

...
]
}
]
}
}

## aside
- Type: `boolean | 'left'`
- Default: `true`
- Can be overridden per page via [frontmatter](./frontmatter-config#aside)
Setting this value to `false` prevents rendering of aside container.\
Setting this value to `true` renders the aside to the right.\

If you want to disable it for all viewports, you should use `outline: false` instead.
## outline
- Type: `Outline | Outline['level'] | false`
- Level can be overridden per page via [frontmatter](./frontmatter-config#outline)
Setting this value to `false` prevents rendering of outline container. Refer this interface for more details:
```ts
interface Outline {
/**
* The levels of headings to be displayed in the outline.
* Single number means only headings of that level will be displayed.
* If a tuple is passed, the first number is the minimum level and the second number is the maximum level.
* `'deep'` is same as `[2, 6]`, which means all headings from `<h2>` to `<h6>` will be displayed.
*
* @default 2
