Notate lets you tune how the app looks from **Settings → Appearance**, available on web, desktop, and mobile.

## Theme

Choose a **Theme** to set the overall look: **System** follows your device, or pick **Dark**, **Light**, or **Grey** (a muted style) directly.

## Accent color

Set the **Accent Color** from the preset swatches or open the custom color picker for an exact shade. The accent is overridden while the **Grey** theme is active.

## Highlight style

**Highlight Style** controls how selected and active items are marked. Choose **Accent** to use your accent color, or **Neutral** for a grey highlight.

## Editor font size

**Editor Font Size** is a dropdown from 10px to 24px that sets the body text size in the editor, so you can read and write at a size that suits you.
