Dark Mode and Light Mode

InkSpire offers Dark Mode to provide a more comfortable writing environment, especially for late-night writing sessions or low-light environments.

Dark Mode changes the background of the editor and other areas of the interface to a darker color scheme, reducing eye strain and making it easier to focus on your work.

Enabling Dark Mode

To switch to Dark Mode:

1. Open the Appearance & Preferences settings (from the main menu or toolbar)
2. Find the Theme section
3. Check Dark Mode
4. Click Apply to activate Dark Mode

Switching Back to Light Mode

To switch back to Light Mode:

1. Open the Appearance & Preferences settings again
2. Un-check Dark Mode
3. Click Apply to return to the light theme

Dark and Light modes are independent settings, and you can switch between them at any time.

When Does Dark Mode Apply?

Dark Mode affects the following areas of InkSpire:

• Main Editor: Dark background with light text
• Menu Bar & Toolbars: Dark-colored elements for easy navigation
• Panels: All side panels (World, Research, Characters) change to dark backgrounds
• Pop-ups & Dialogs: These adopt the dark theme for consistency

Why Use Dark Mode?

• Reduces Eye Strain: A darker interface is easier on the eyes in dim environments
• Focus on Content: Dark Mode minimizes distractions by softening bright elements
• Extended Writing Sessions: Ideal for writing at night without disturbing your surroundings

If Dark Mode Doesn’t Look Right
