Change the theme

To change the theme, click your name at the top of the sidebar, choose Settings, go to Preferences, and pick a theme under Appearance. It changes straight away.

Pick a theme

There are seven themes:

Theme	What it looks like
System	Follows your computer or phone, including its contrast setting
Light	Dark text on a white background
Dark	Light text on a dark background
Paper	A warm, light page for long reading sessions
Paper dark	A warm, dark page for long reading sessions
High contrast	Light, with stronger contrast
High contrast dark	Dark, with stronger contrast

Each theme has a small preview, so you can see it before you choose.

Themes are saved per browser

Your theme is saved in the browser you set it in. It isn’t synced to your account, so your laptop and phone can use different themes. Set it again in each browser you use.

Change the typeface of a paper

The theme sets the colours. To change the font of a paper, open the paper’s ⋯ menu, choose Paper settings, and set Typeface under Just for you to Default or Serif. This only changes how the paper looks to you. See Change a paper’s settings.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my theme change on another computer?

Themes are saved in each browser, not in your account. Set the theme you want in each browser you use.

Can I change the font of my paper?

Yes, per paper. Open Paper settings and set Typeface to Default or Serif. It only changes how the paper looks to you.

Can I change the language of the app?

No. Writing Studio's interface is in English only. You can still write in any language, and set the language of your citations in Paper settings.
