What Themes Affect#
Themes control all editor colours:
- Headings — distinct colour per level, larger font
- Bold/Italic — rendered inline with visible Markdown markers
- Links — accent colour, clickable
- Tags — accent colour
- Code — monospace font with themed background
- Code blocks — monospace with background highlight
- Tables — monospace with background highlight
- Task metadata — muted colour for
due:,done:,priority: - Done tasks — strikethrough with muted colour
- Highlights — custom highlight colour per theme
The sidebar, toolbar, and other UI elements also adapt to the theme.
Font Size#
Adjust the editor font size with:
- Cmd+= — increase
- Cmd+- — decrease
The font size is remembered across sessions.
Preview Theme#
The Preview window uses a professional CSS theme with:
- Charter/Georgia serif body text
- Sans-serif headings
- Proper table formatting with striped rows
- Syntax-highlighted code blocks (via Highlight.js)
- Styled admonition callouts
The preview theme adapts to light and dark mode independently of the editor theme.
