Appearance and themes

Ultrathink lets you customise the visual experience to suit your preferences, screen size, and working environment. You can change the colour theme, adjust font size, control layout density, and fine-tune how the entries grid is displayed.

All appearance settings are found under Settings > Appearance and Settings > Display.

Theme options

The theme controls the overall colour scheme of the application.

Theme	Description
Light	White background with dark text; best for well-lit environments
Dark	Dark background with light text; reduces eye strain in low light
Auto	Follows your operating system's preference; switches automatically when your system toggles between light and dark mode

Changing the theme

1. Open Settings > Appearance.
2. Under Theme, select Light, Dark, or Auto.
3. The change applies immediately across all views.

The Auto option is useful if your operating system switches themes based on the time of day. Ultrathink detects the change and updates without requiring a page reload.

Font size

You can adjust the size of the font used throughout the application.

Size	Description
Small	Tighter text; fits more content on screen
Medium	Default size; balanced readability
Large	Bigger text; easier to read on high-resolution displays

Changing font size

1. Open Settings > Appearance.
2. Under Font size, select Small, Medium, or Large.
3. The change applies immediately.

Font size affects all text in the application, including the navigation, grid entries, the detail panel, and settings pages.

Density

Density controls the amount of whitespace and padding between elements.

Density	Description
Compact	Tighter spacing; shows more entries and content on screen at once
Normal	Default spacing; a balanced middle ground
Comfortable	More whitespace between elements; a more relaxed, spacious layout

Changing density

1. Open Settings > Appearance.
2. Under Density, select Compact, Normal, or Comfortable.
3. The layout adjusts immediately.

Compact density pairs well with a Small font size if you want to maximise the amount of information visible without scrolling. Comfortable density works well on larger monitors where screen space is not a concern.

Display settings

Display settings control how entries appear in the main grid. These options are found under Settings > Display.

UI Density

The UI Density setting determines how many entries fit on screen and how much detail each card shows.

UI Density	Cards per row	Details shown
Compact	More cards	Title, type icon, date
Normal	Balanced	Title, AI summary snippet, type, date
Bigger	Fewer cards	Title, full summary, screenshot thumbnail, metadata

Changing UI Density

1. Open Settings > Display.
2. Under UI Density, choose Compact, Normal, or Bigger.
3. The grid re-renders immediately.

Additional display options

Setting	Options	What it does
Alternate row colours	On / Off	Adds subtle zebra striping to list views, making it easier to scan rows
Show refresh button	On / Off	Displays a manual refresh icon in the toolbar for triggering a data reload
Show entry count	On / Off	Shows the total number of entries at the top of the grid

Changing display options

1. Open Settings > Display.
2. Toggle any of the options listed above.
3. Changes take effect immediately.

Combining settings for common workflows

Here are a few combinations that work well together:

• Data-dense research view: Compact UI Density, Compact density, Small font size. Maximises the number of entries visible at once.
• Comfortable reading view: Bigger UI Density, Comfortable density, Large font size. Prioritises readability and whitespace.
• Balanced default: Normal UI Density, Normal density, Medium font size. The out-of-the-box experience that works for most people.
