Colors and styles

Apply colors and text styles to selected content.

Select a target

Create a range, then open the style tools: Inspector in Web Canvas, or Style in the terminal footer dock. The selection determines what changes. Panning does not change text colors.

Use color presets

Choose a foreground or background preset for quick styling. Use one color for headings and another for actions instead of assigning a different color to every line.

Combine colors with bold, italic, underline, and other text styles. Terminal appearance also depends on the terminal app and font.

Switch light and dark themes

Themes change the reading environment and interface appearance. They do not recolor existing content. Explicit colors remain as written; text that works on a light background may need adjustment on a dark one.

Before sharing or exporting, check text contrast. Keep text labels for essential meaning rather than relying only on color.
