Appearance

Choose the colour scheme.

On this page

The Appearance tab is the first tab in Settings. It holds one choice: the colour scheme the whole app uses. Pick the one that is easiest on your eyes. The choice changes nothing else.

#Open Settings

Every Settings tab opens the same way. The tabs are listed on the left of the Settings window (along the top on a narrow screen). The arrow keys move between tabs.

  1. At the bottom of the sidebar, select your name to open the account menu.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Select a tab, for example Appearance.

#Choose a colour scheme

Open Colour scheme and pick a scheme. Each name in the list is drawn in its own colours, so you can see it before you choose. The app changes at once. There is no Save button.

Illustration: The scheme setting. Each name in the list shows that scheme's own colours.

There are nine schemes:

  • Light: Limn Light, Solarized Light, GitHub Light, Gruvbox Light.
  • Dark: Limn Dark, Solarized Dark, Dracula, Nord, Tokyo Night.

Every scheme is checked for contrast, so text stays readable whichever one you pick.

#Where the choice is saved

The scheme is saved in this browser only. Limn does not keep it with your other settings. If you open Limn in a second browser or a private window, choose the scheme there too.
