 - `centered` — all three groups centered in one row.
 - `split` — brand left, actions right, **no desktop nav** (drawer only).
 
+## Theme + locale controls (navbar)
+
+All three navbars accept an optional `controls` block and `i18n` config that
+mirrors `DefaultFooter`. When enabled, a compact `NavControls` pill is rendered
+on desktop right before `UserMenu`, and an equivalent row appears in the mobile
+drawer footer.
+
+```tsx
+<FloatingNavbar
+  config={{
+    brand: <BrandLogo />,
+    navigation,
+    userMenu: { authPath: '/auth' },
+    controls: { showThemeSwitcher: true, showLocaleSwitcher: true },
+    i18n: { locale, locales, onLocaleChange: changeLocale },
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+| Control | Required | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `controls.showThemeSwitcher` | — | Light / system / dark pill (uses `useThemeContext`). |
+| `controls.showLocaleSwitcher` | `i18n` | Globe dropdown. Silently hidden when `i18n` is omitted. |
+
+Same shape works for `FlushNavbar` and `MinimalNavbar`. If you build a custom
+navbar with `NavbarShell`, the controls node is pre-built and delivered to
+`renderActions(ctx)` as `ctx.controls`.
+
+Need to render the pills somewhere custom (e.g. your own navbar)? Import
+`NavControls` directly:
+
+```tsx
+import { NavControls } from '@djangocfg/layouts';
+
+<NavControls
+  showThemeSwitcher
