Themes & shortcuts

Tome ships with five built-in themes and supports fully custom colour palettes. Keyboard shortcuts are available on every page for quick navigation.

Built-in themes

The lineup is a neutral pair, a warm pair, and true black for OLED. Switch themes from the user menu in the sidebar (desktop) or the bottom drawer (mobile). The active theme is stored per-browser in localStorage.

• Light — warm paper neutrals with Tome's oxblood accent
• Dark — near-neutral dark with a dusty rosewood accent, easy on late-night reading
• Amber — warm cream and burnt orange, a parchment feel
• Ember — a cappuccino dark: espresso surfaces, same rosewood accent
• Black — true-black surfaces for OLED screens

Custom themes

In Settings, scroll to the theme section and click New custom theme. You provide 10 hex colour values that define every surface in the UI:

• Background, foreground, card
• Primary, primary foreground
• Muted, muted foreground
• Accent, border, destructive

Name your theme, mark it as dark or light (so Tailwind's dark: variants apply correctly), and save. Custom themes appear in the theme picker alongside the built-in ones.

Language

The web UI is translatable. Pick a language under Settings → Appearance → Language; on a first visit Tome uses your browser's language when a catalog for it exists, and English otherwise. The choice is stored per browser, like the theme.

English is the source and always complete. Every other language is a community-maintained catalog, and anything not yet translated falls back to English, so a partly translated language is still usable. Simplified Chinese ships as a starting point. The KOReader plugin, the OPDS feed and this website stay English for now.

Want your language in the picker, or the existing one finished? It's a single.po file and a pull request — seedocs/translating.md.
