# Built-in Themes

Tydora provides **9** carefully designed built-in themes covering a range of styles — fresh, understated, vibrant, futuristic, and more — all supporting both light and dark appearances. You can switch themes with a single click in settings, or import your own CSS themes (see [[06-Themes-Appearance/02-Typora-Themes]]).

> [!NOTE]
> The default theme is **Mint**. Code block color schemes can be set independently from the app theme; see [[06-Themes-Appearance/03-Code-Highlight-Themes]] for details.

## Theme List

### White

A clean and pure white background, a versatile light theme suitable for extended reading and everyday writing.

### Mint *(default)*

A refreshing mint green theme with a white base and mint green accent color, natural and soothing. **This is Tydora's default theme.**

### Mint Dark

The dark version of Mint, retaining the mint green accent on a dark background. Ideal for users who prefer a dark environment but still enjoy green tones.

### Claude Code

A warm-toned dark theme inspired by the Claude code editor, with an off-white background and amber accents — warm and focused.

### Purple

An elegant purple theme with soft violet tones, suitable for users who enjoy a romantic and serene atmosphere.

### Hermes

A vibrant blue/indigo theme with bold accent colors and a strong modern feel.

### NexT

A futuristic theme inspired by the Hexo NexT Pisces style, featuring teal accents on an off-white background — refined and restrained.

### Slate

A minimalist graphite gray theme with low-saturation cool grays, steady and professional, suitable for serious writing and documentation scenarios.

### Ocean

A cool ocean-toned theme with a light blue background and cyan accents — crisp and airy.

## Switching Themes

### Method 1: Settings Panel

### Method 2: Repository Switcher

2. Click the settings (gear) icon.

## Appearance Mode

Each theme can be used with three appearance modes:

- **Follow System** — Automatically switches based on the operating system's light/dark setting
- **Light** — Forces light rendering
- **Dark** — Forces dark rendering

> The appearance mode is set in [[07-Settings/01-General-Settings]]. Dark themes like Mint Dark look best in "Dark" mode.
