Change the appearance and accent color

Light, dark or follow the system, plus seventeen accent colors to make it yours.

Everything about how the app looks sits together in Settings under Appearance, on both platforms: appearance, themes, accent color and text size. Appearance, the accent and the text size are there on every plan; the themes are part of Grape Pro.

Appearance

Light, Dark, or System, which follows your device and flips automatically when it does. Notes, dialogs and the drawing canvas all follow along, so a note written at night reads fine in the morning. The Light theme and Dark theme entries next to it pick which theme paints the app in each mode, on Pro.

Accent color

Seventeen options: Amber, Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime, Green, Emerald, Teal, Cyan, Sky, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Purple, Fuchsia, Pink and Rose. The accent shows up in buttons, selections and highlights across the app, on top of whichever theme you use.

What follows you

Appearance, the accent and your theme picks all sync with the rest of your settings, so switching your phone to dark switches your desktop too, and the two agree on how Grape looks without setting it twice. Text size is the one that stays per device, since a phone and a desk monitor want different sizes.

Try It While the Guide Is Open

Grape is free to install and needs no account, so you can follow along in the real app.
