Themes
PieceWorx Writing Studio offers several different themes to match your mood and preferences.| Hotkey | Alt+T (Open Theme Chooser Window) |
| Right-click menu | Themes (Open Theme Chooser Window) |
| Status bar | Click on theme name (Open Theme Chooser Window) |
| Hotkey | Ctrl+Shift+T (Next Theme) |
| Hotkey | Ctrl+Shift+R (Previous Theme) |
There are 18 or more built-in themes to choose from, each with five different page styles for nearly a hundred different combinations. That doesn't even include the different looks you can achieve with page views which hide or show various page elements.
Editor background color may be the one color writers are most sensitive to during
their creative process. Some people might have a strong preference for light text
on a dark background while others require black text on a white background.
With 18+ built-in themes and five different page styles for each, we think there is an option for most any writer's needs.
This version of PieceWorx Writing Studio does not provide an easy way to customize your own theme. However, it is possible to create a custom theme file which can be placed in a Themes folder beneath the installed executable. I hope to provide a tutorial for this on the website soon. If you can't find it, send me some feedback to let me know this is a feature you want.
Another topic very closely related to themes is the ability to customize the matte background. Read more about that here.
