Themes & fonts
Appearance settings live in Settings → Appearance, which includes a live preview that recolors as you change things.
Themes
Editora Light and Editora Dark are the app’s own pair, drawn from the palette in its icon: a teal accent, an ink-navy ground, and a periwinkle reserved for keybindings. They are what a fresh install starts in. An existing install keeps whatever theme it was already on; the pair is added to the list.
Twenty-eight themes ship in total:
- Editora (light and dark), the default
- Primer (GitHub-style), Nord and Cupertino, each in light and dark
- Dracula
- A community set of nineteen themes in twelve families: Army, Autumn, Blacky, Blue, Browny, Fall, Navy, News, Spring, Summer, Winter and Yacht (seven of them in light and dark)
The app chrome is themed by AtlantaFX; the editor surface, gutter, syntax tokens and project tree are themed separately. By default the editor theme follows the app theme; pick one explicitly and it sticks.
What the colors mean
Colors carry a fixed meaning across the whole interface, and they follow the theme rather than being fixed values that only suit one background:
| Color | Means |
|---|---|
| Amber | Not saved yet — an unsaved tab, a read-only or narrowed buffer, a snapshot |
| Red | Broken |
| Green | Verified |
| Olive / violet | Git’s untracked / renamed |
| Periwinkle | A keybinding, and only ever a keybinding |
The Markdown preview can be themed independently of the app with its own light/dark toggle (a sun/moon button on the preview’s zoom control), so you can read a GitHub-style light page inside a dark editor.
User themes: drop your own theme CSS in a themes/ (app + editor theme) or
editor-themes/ (editor only) folder in your config directory,
and it joins the picker. Theme: Reload User Themes (theme.reloadUserThemes)
picks up changes without a restart.
Fonts
Five monospace families ship with the app, so nothing needs a system install:
- JetBrains Mono (default)
- Cascadia Code
- Fira Code
- IBM Plex Mono
- Source Code Pro
They’re listed ahead of your system monospace families in the font picker.
The interface itself is set in Inter on every platform, so Editora looks the same wherever you run it rather than inheriting each system’s default UI font. The Markdown preview and PDF prose use Inter too.
Text zoom
Zoom the editor text independently of the configured font size:
| Action | Default key |
|---|---|
| Zoom in | C-= |
| Zoom out | C-- |
| Reset | C-0 |
Ctrl+wheel zooms too, and the status bar has − / + buttons. When the active
buffer is a Markdown preview, the same gestures zoom the preview instead of the
editor text. The zoom level is saved as fontZoom and isn’t shown in Settings.
