Description
Hi, and thanks for the great library. I have been using legacy themes (as discussed in the docs here), and realized that table formatting becomes broken when running my app without an internet connection.
From what I can tell, this is due to how the themes are loaded from a CDN in themes.py. I was able to fix the issue by just downloading the CSS files for the legacy themes I was using (base and Balham) and including them in my app's assets/ directory, but it is not clear from the documentation that this is necessary.

Research direction
Start by reading themes.py and the linked legacy-themes documentation, then reproduce the app without an internet connection using the legacy themes. Confirm whether the offline setup requires assets/ files or whether the theme loading behavior should change, and document or test the resulting offline behavior.
