Appearance Settings

Configure how TablePro looks in Settings > Appearance.

​

Theme Engine

TablePro ships with 9 built-in themes and supports custom themes. Community themes are available from the plugin registry. Each theme controls editor syntax colors, data grid colors, sidebar/toolbar styling, and fonts. UI colors use native macOS semantic colors by default, adapting automatically to system appearance, accent color, and high contrast settings.

​

Theme Editor Layout

The Appearance tab is a split view with two panels:

• Left panel: Sections for “Built-in”, “Registry”, and “Custom”. Each row shows a color thumbnail, theme name, and source label. Select a theme to activate and edit it.
• Right panel: Two tabs: Fonts and Colors.

At the bottom of the sidebar, an action bar provides:

​

Built-in Themes

​

Appearance Mode

Pick Light, Dark, or Auto at the top. Light and Dark each store a separate preferred theme. Auto follows the system and switches between the two automatically. When you select a theme from the list, it becomes the preferred theme for that theme’s appearance (light or dark). Selecting a dark theme while in Light mode switches to Dark mode so you see the change right away.

​

Customizing Themes

Select a theme and edit directly. Built-in themes auto-duplicate when you change colors, preserving the original. Font changes apply without duplication, and font family pickers list installed monospaced fonts from your Mac. Interface colors (text, backgrounds, borders) default to macOS system colors and show a reset button when overridden.

​

Import, Export & Registry

Export custom themes as JSON. Import from files or install from the plugin registry (Settings > Plugins > Browse, filter by Themes). Registry themes are read-only; duplicate to customize.
