Light GreyCool light grey — reduces contrast slightly
CharcoalDark background with light text for night reading

Filigree accent colour

The filigree colour controls verse numbers, links, icons, bookmarks and highlighted elements throughout the app. Choose from Pale Blue, Pale Sage, Pale Gold, Pale Lavender or Blush Pink in Settings. The colour adapts automatically between light and dark themes to maintain readability.

Font and size

The default reading font is New York at 17pt. Choose from a curated list of reading-friendly fonts in Settings, or type any font installed on your Mac. The size slider adjusts from 12pt to 28pt. A live preview shows exactly how your text will look before you close Settings.

Paper texture

An optional subtle paper grain texture can be applied over the background. Adjust the intensity with the slider — from barely perceptible to a clearly visible grain.

Filigree decoration

An optional decorative filigree overlay adds botanical ornamentation to the background. Adjust colour and intensity independently. This can be turned on or off at any time in Settings.

Reset to Defaults

The Reset to Defaults button in the Settings left panel restores font, theme, texture and filigree to their original values without affecting any other preferences.
