# Themes and personalisation

> Change Cleve’s colours, fonts and text size, and set up accessibility options

Make Cleve look and read the way you like: pick a theme, mix your own colours, tune the fonts in your docs, and turn on accessibility options such as an easier-to-read font or high contrast.

You'll find everything in **Settings → Personalisation**. The most common options are also one click away in any doc.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Personalisation settings are saved in your browser for your account. If you use Cleve on another computer or browser, set them up there too.

## Quick settings from a doc

In any doc, click the feather icon (**Themes and settings**) at the left of the toolbar. The **Themes & Settings** menu lets you:

* Make doc text smaller or larger with the two **A** buttons, or click **Reset** between them to go back to the default size.
* Switch between **Light**, **Dark** and **System** appearance.
* Pick a theme, or click **Edit colours** to adjust your own. Click **Back to themes** to return.

Click **View all settings** to open **Settings → Personalisation**.

## Choose a theme

A theme sets the colours of your workspace and the default type in your docs. Open **Settings → Personalisation** and pick one under **Theme**:

| Theme | Look | Doc type |
| - | - | - |
| **Original** | Cleve's standard colours and familiar type | Sans |
| **Quiet** | Soft lavender accents with Cleve's familiar contrast | Sans body, serif headings |
| **Paper** | Warm notebook paper, ink-blue accents and copper details | Serif |
| **Bold** | Familiar surfaces, heavier type and cinnamon accents | Heavier sans |
| **Calm** | A parchment tint, umber accents and sage details | Serif |
| **Focus** | Soft green accents and a little more breathing room | Sans with more line spacing |

Each tile previews the theme in your current appearance (light or dark). Picking a theme never changes whether Cleve is light or dark, and it keeps your doc text size.

Themes colour the sidebar, the tab bar, the chat panel and your own chat messages. The doc page itself stays a solid colour, so your writing is always easy to read.

### Mix your own colours

1. Under **Theme**, click **Edit colours**.
2. Drag the large dot around the circle. Moving around the circle changes the colour; moving towards the centre makes it richer, and towards the edge makes it softer.
3. Use **+** and **−** to add or remove companion colours, up to three in total. Companion colours blend into the sidebar, chat panel and your chat messages.
4. Click the undo arrow to reverse your last change, then click **Done**.

You can also use the keyboard: the left and right arrow keys change the colour, up and down change how rich it is, **Home** makes it richest and **End** softest. Hold **Shift** for bigger steps.

Your palette is saved as **Custom**. It stays in the theme list, so you can try other themes and switch back to it.

## Light, dark or system

Choose **Light**, **Dark** or **System** (follow your device) in any of these places:

* **Settings → General → Appearance**
* **Settings → Personalisation**, next to **Theme**
* The **Themes and settings** menu in a doc
* The sun and moon button at the bottom of the sidebar

## Customise the type in your docs

The **Type** section in **Settings → Personalisation** lets you fine-tune how your docs read. Changes apply instantly, and the **Sample doc** beside the controls shows the result. Click **Actual size** to switch the preview to **Preview 2×** for a closer look.

Open **Headings** or **Body** to set:

| Control | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Sans** / **Serif** | The font family |
| Pad | Drag to change weight and style together |
| **Weight** | How heavy the text is, from thin to heavy |
| **Style** | The character of the letterforms |
| **Size** | **Heading size (H1)**, 24 to 36 px, or body **Text size**, 14 to 20 px |
| **Spacing** | **Line spacing** and **Character spacing** |

Click **Reset this style** to undo changes to headings or body only, or **Reset type** at the top to restore all type settings. Choosing a theme also sets its default fonts, and the theme area shows **Text customised** once you've made your own changes.

## Accessibility

| Setting | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Accessibility font** | Use an easier-to-read font throughout Cleve: **OpenDyslexic**, **Lexend** or **Atkinson Hyperlegible**. It replaces your heading and body fonts while it's on. Choose **Off** to go back |
| **High contrast** | Makes text, borders and focus outlines stronger so they stand out from the background |

The **Accessibility font** applies to the whole app, not just your docs.

## Doc layout and editing

| Setting | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Full width docs** | Lets text use the whole width of the window instead of a narrower column that's easier to read |
| **Spellcheck** | Underlines misspelled words and autocorrects as you type. You can also turn it on or off from a doc's **···** menu |
| **Formatting toolbar** | Shows the heading, text style and insert buttons above docs. When it's off, select text or type `/` to format |

With the formatting toolbar off, the doc toolbar still has undo and redo, the **Themes and settings** button, dictation and version history, and keyboard shortcuts keep working.

## Rename Cleve and change its look

Cleve is the default name of your AI agent, and you can rename it.

1. Open **Settings → General**.
2. Next to **Cleve's look**, click **Customize**.
3. Click the pencil to rename it (up to 24 characters), and use the arrows to pick an accessory.
4. Click **Save**.

The new name appears in chat, in Settings and throughout the app.
