Reading themes: light, dark and sepia

Set the default theme for a site or a single embed, and let readers switch with the theme button.

1 min read Updated

Foliora has three reading themes for the viewer and its toolbar:

LightBright and neutral. The default.
DarkComfortable at night and on dark websites.
SepiaWarm paper tones for long reading.

Set the default#

  • Site-wide: Foliora → Settings → Viewer defaults → Default theme.
  • One embed: [foliora file="…" theme="dark"].

The theme button#

The toolbar's theme button lets readers switch. Their choice is saved in their own browser (localStorage, key foliora_theme) and used the next time — nothing is stored on your server.

Hide the button site-wide with Settings → Toolbar → Theme switcher, or for one embed with theme_btn="false".

Want your brand colours instead? Foliora Pro's Reader look sets the toolbar background, icon colour, accent and corner radius for every viewer.
