Themes and backgrounds
Design Intent: The page should look like somewhere you want to write.
Themes
- Settings › Appearance › Themes. Applies to chooses Ephemeral or Slotted notes, so the two can look different. The Light / Dark segment picks which appearance you are choosing for, and lists only themes made for it; tap a theme to use it.
- Want a dark theme in light mode, or the reverse? The link at the bottom of the list reveals the other kind after a warning: the keyboard, menus and the phone's own surfaces stay in the system appearance around the note, and a transparent or see-through background can make the text hard to read.
- Custom themes: Import theme… from the Theme Maker, the clipboard or a file. Themes sync between your iPhones and iPads with preferences.
- Themes are part of the Lifetime license.
Backgrounds
- A photo or video behind the note, separate ones for dark mode and for portrait and landscape, with Opacity, Blur and Remove color to keep the text readable. The row of thumbnails shows each photo at its own proportions; press and hold one to remove it from the phone.
