Reading comfort

Text size and reading tint

Choose Comfort for larger text and more space. In any theme, you can increase Text size up to 125% of the theme’s default without changing Panel size.

Comfort appearance with a pale turquoise reading tint on the Home panel and cards

Reading tint is off by default. Choose Soft yellow, Pale turquoise or Soft blue to tint the panel and card backgrounds. Text, status indicators and artwork keep their colours.
