Chronicle’s appearance settings give you fine-grained control over how the app looks and how much information it packs into each row. You can choose from seven named themes — each a distinct full-palette design, not just a light/dark toggle — tune the accent color used by two of those themes, and pick a density mode that fits your screen size and working style.

Themes
Chronicle ships seven named themes. Each theme defines its own complete color palette; they are not inversions or tints of a single base design.| Theme | Mode | Vibe |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Chronicle | dark | Default. Coral on near-black, the look shown in the screenshots. |
| Github | light | GitHub Light feel. Blue accent, clean white surfaces. |
| Gothic | dark | Deep purple on near-black. Blood-red highlights. |
| Newsprint | light | Sepia and cream. Warm brown accent. Reads like a paperback. |
| Night | dark | True midnight blue. Cobalt accent. Cold and surgical. |
| Pixyll | light | Tufte-flavored white. Red accent. Sharp narrow rules. |
| Whitey | light | Near-monochrome. Coral accent. The minimal end of the spectrum. |
Accent color
Eight coral accent presets and a custom color picker let you change the highlight color used across the UI. Accent color changes only affect Dark Chronicle and Whitey — the two themes built around a coral accent. The other five themes use their own fixed accent colors that are baked into their palette. To use the custom picker, select Custom from the accent preset row and click the color swatch that appears. The picker uses the native macOS color panel, so you can enter a hex value, use the eyedropper, or save swatches for reuse.Accent color changes have no visual effect when Gothic, Github, Newsprint, Night, or Pixyll is the active theme.
Density modes
Three density modes control how much vertical space each row consumes and how large the metadata pane text appears.| Mode | Row height | Padding | Metadata pane font |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact | Minimal | Tight | Smaller |
| Comfortable | Standard | Balanced | Standard |
| Spacious | Generous | Relaxed | Larger |
