Custom Themes

Coming in v1.3

Create your own themes with six color pickers. Inkwell computes the rest — hover states, subtle backgrounds, dimmed text — all derived automatically.

How it works

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+K)
2. Type "Create Theme"
3. Pick your six colors: Background, Surface, Text, Accent, Border, Code Background
4. Name your theme and save

Live preview

As you adjust colors, the editor behind the modal updates in real-time. You see exactly how your theme will look before saving.

Managing custom themes

Custom themes appear in the Command Palette alongside the built-ins:

• Ctrl+K → "Theme: My Custom Theme" to apply
• Ctrl+K → "Delete Theme: My Custom Theme" to remove

Themes are stored locally and persist between sessions.

The six colors

Color	What it controls
Background	Main app background
Surface	Cards, panels, sidebar
Text	Primary text color
Accent	Buttons, links, highlights
Border	Dividers and borders
Code BG	Code block background

Everything else — dimmed text, hover states, subtle highlights — is computed from these six values.
