Dark and light theme

Available since 0.1.0

A dark and a light theme, an accent colour of your own - six swatches or a hex value - and a UI scale from 75 % to 200 %.

The Theme setting switches between Dark, the default, and Light. A theme is a set of design tokens, so the change applies to the whole window at once - no reload, no restart - and it is remembered for the next start.

The accent colour paints the highlighted controls: the engaged transport button, the focus ring and the selected entries. Pick one of six swatches - Blue, Teal, Green, Amber, Red, Violet - or type a hex value such as #2f6fd0. Text that is not a hex colour is rejected with a hint instead of being applied.

The UI scale multiplies the root font size, so every size and every control of the window follows it: 75 % to 200 %, stepped with the arrow keys (five percent, with Shift fifty) and back to 100 % with a double-click. Each setting has a reset of its own, one Reset all to defaults puts everything back, and all of it is stored for the next start.

Limits of this version

This page names the limits that matter in practice instead of implying more. What a release changed - and what it did not - stands in its release notes.
