Themes and colour palettes

Mythforge can be light or dark, in one of twelve colour palettes, and set your writing in the font and size you like to read. All of it lives in Settings, applies at once, and is remembered on each device, so your phone can be dark and your laptop light.

Light, dark or Auto

Open Settings → Appearance and pick a Theme:

Auto follows your device's light or dark setting, so Mythforge turns dark with your phone at night. It's the default.
Light and Dark stay as they are whatever the device does.

Colour palettes

Under Colours, choose the palette that suits you. Each one comes in a light and a dark version, and the theme you chose decides which you see. The swatch beside each name shows its background, its accent colour and its softer text colour.

Palette	Feel
Mythforge	Ink and violet. The default.
Parchment	Sepia and oxblood.
Fjord	Slate and glacier blue.
Ember	Hearth and rust.
Dusk	Plum twilight.
Synthwave	Hot pink and teal neon.
Vaporwave	Lavender, bubblegum and baby blue.
Terminal	Green phosphor on black, in a monospace font.
Amber	An old amber monitor, in a monospace font.
Arcade	Electric blue and coin-op yellow.
Abyss	The deep sea, glowing cyan.
Gothic	Black velvet and blood red.

The first five are quiet; the rest are loud, and their dark versions give cards a faint neon glow. A palette changes the surfaces, text and accent colour (Terminal and Amber change the font too). The colours that mean something stay put in every palette: lore categories, scene statuses and the like, so a character is the same colour wherever you meet them.

Here is the same scene in four of them:

Settings shows your theme and palette in a line under Appearance, such as "Theme: Dark · Fjord". On a phone or tablet, the browser's own bar (the address bar and status bar) takes on the colour of the screen too.

Typography

Settings → Typography sets how your scene and notes editors set your text, with a preview at the top that updates as you choose. It applies to this device.

Setting	Choices
Font	Serif, Sans or Mono
Size	S, M, L or XL
Line spacing	Tight, Normal or Airy
Paragraphs	The space between paragraphs: None, S, M or L
Indent	A switch for indenting each paragraph's first line, as printed fiction does

Reset to defaults appears once you've changed anything. The other writing settings, such as daily goals, toolbars, sprints and focus, are under Settings → Writing; see The editor.

Haptics

In the iPhone app, Settings → Haptics sets how strongly each kind of tap is felt: Navigation (links, tabs and Back), Buttons, Mentions, Choices, Gestures and Results (creating and deleting). Each can be Off, Subtle, Light, Medium or Strong, and Results can be Off or On. Choosing a strength plays it so you can feel the difference. Haptics also follow your iPhone's System Haptics setting. The Haptics screen only appears where it can play, so you won't see it in a browser.
