Appearance

Customize accent color, typography, layout behavior, and custom CSS

Updated 2026-07-222 min read

Appearance

Appearance settings control how Cothon looks: accent color, fonts, layout behavior, and optional custom CSS. Changes apply immediately.

Theme

Cothon uses a professional dark theme. The color scheme itself is fixed; you personalize it through the accent color and typography options below.

Accent Color

The accent color is used for highlights, active states, and primary buttons.

  • Pick from 10 preset color swatches, or
  • Choose a custom color with the color picker or by entering a hex value

Typography

Font Family

Choose the interface font:

  • Inter (default)
  • SF Pro
  • Roboto
  • JetBrains Mono
  • System default (system-ui)

Font Size

Choose the base text size: Small, Medium, or Large. A live preview shows how the selected font family and size will look.

Layout & Behavior

Toggle interface behaviors on or off:

  • Collapsed sidebar — start with the navigation sidebar collapsed
  • Smooth animations — enable interface transition animations
  • High contrast mode — increase contrast for readability
  • Reduce motion — minimize animation for motion sensitivity

Tip

If you find animations distracting or use assistive technology, combine Reduce motion with High contrast mode for a calmer, more readable interface.

Custom CSS

For advanced personalization, you can add your own CSS rules in the Custom CSS text area. These styles are applied on top of the app's built-in styles.

Warning

Custom CSS can break the interface layout if a rule conflicts with app styles. If something looks wrong after adding custom CSS, clear the text area to restore the default appearance.
