Light and dark mode
The reader and the app have a light theme and a dark theme. Each person picks a theme for their own browser.
Change the theme in the reader
Do one of these:
- Click the moon or sun button in the header. On a phone, the button is in the header too.
- Press
Ctrl K(Cmd Kon a Mac), typedarkorlight, and pick Theme: Dark or Theme: Light.

Change the theme in the app
Do one of these:
- Click Frappe Wiki at the top of the sidebar and click Toggle Theme.
- Press
Ctrl Kand pick Toggle theme. Typedarkorlightto get Theme: Dark or Theme: Light.
How the wiki picks the theme
- The browser stores your choice. The reader and the app use the same choice, so a change in one also applies to the other.
- Until you pick a theme, the app follows the theme of your operating system.
- The reader also follows your operating system when the app has done so in the same browser. If you have never opened the app or picked a theme, the reader uses the light theme.
Images with a dark version
An author can give an image a second version for the dark theme. Readers then see the version that matches the theme of the wiki. When you change the theme, the image changes without a reload. An image without a dark version shows the same in both themes.
