Themes

Change the colours of Parallax.

Parallax is a dark app, and you can pick the accent and the shade of dark that you like best. There are sixteen themes in three groups.

Settings, General tab: the colour theme picker with the five Parallax themes, then the colour and classic groups, each shown as a small preview.

Changing theme

Open Settings → General. The Colour theme card shows every theme as a small preview. Click one and it takes effect straight away.

You can also switch from the command palette by searching for a theme's name, which is quicker if you want to try a few.

The theme is saved in Parallax itself, not in your browser. Every device you open Parallax on gets the same one, and there is no flash of a different colour when the page loads.
