Appearance, themes, and text size

Daisy ships light and dark themes and follows your operating system by default. Everything here lives in Settings → Display.

Light, dark, or match system

Under Appearance, pick one of three cards:

  • Light — warm cream paper.
  • Dark — near-black surfaces, same marigold accent.
  • Match system (default) — follows your OS appearance and changes with it, including when your system switches on a schedule.

The choice applies immediately across the whole app, including the floating mini-window.

Text size

Text size zooms the entire interface. You can also use the keyboard anywhere in the app:

  • Ctrl/Cmd + — larger
  • Ctrl/Cmd − — smaller
  • Ctrl/Cmd 0 — back to 100%

The percentage stays in sync no matter which way you change it.

Theme files (optional)

Theme file loads your own CSS on top of the light or dark theme. The dropdown lists whatever is in your profile's css/ folder, plus None — the default.

Daisy writes a default.css there with a commented reference of every design token, so the quickest way to start is to copy it, edit the copy, and pick it from the dropdown. If a theme file fails to load, Daisy says so and falls back to the built-in look.
