Styles & themes

Make it look like your book

Themes change how WriterMorph looks while you work. Export styles decide how your book looks when it leaves.

Four export styles, ready to use

Compile Studio starts from one of these and sets the fonts, margins, page size, headers and chapter openings for you. Each page below is a real preview from a sample project.

Themes for the way you work

WriterMorph has twelve themes, and most come in a light and a dark version. Pick one, or let WriterMorph follow your Mac’s appearance. These are the light ones.

The Cream theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Cream

The default light theme: warm cream with colored cards.

The Greyscale theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Greyscale

Every color turned to grey, so nothing competes with your words.

The Monochrome theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Monochrome

Pure black on white, with crisp lines and nothing else.

The E-ink theme on the Visual Planner canvas

E-ink

Soft black on pale grey, calm like an e-reader.

The Terminal Green theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Terminal Green

Deep green on pale mint, a nod to old phosphor screens.

The Terminal Blue theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Terminal Blue

Navy on pale sky blue.

The Terminal White theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Terminal White

Near-black on white, with a terminal’s plainness.

The Terminal Red theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Dark red on blush pink.

The Paper theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Paper

Warm paper and brown ink.

The Blueprint theme on the Visual Planner canvas

Blueprint

Navy lines on white, like a drafting table.

Your own export style

Change anything in Compile Studio, from page size, margins and fonts to chapter titles, scene separators, headers, front and back matter, line numbers and comments, then save it as a preset. Presets are files, so you can keep one with a project or send it to a co-author or an editor.

Your own theme

The Theme Designer in Settings › Appearance sets nine colors, the size of the interface text and the editor’s default font. Save your theme with Manage… › Save Theme to File…, and anyone can open it with Manage… › Load Theme from File….
