How do I set up the text: theme, font, words of Christ?

You can change the theme, the font and other settings at any time. Everything applies at once; there is nothing to save.

There is a bright “Light” theme, a warm “Sepia” and a dark “Dark”. The “Auto” theme follows your device settings. The theme icon in the site header shows the theme that is chosen now.

  1. Press the arrow next to the icon of the current theme in the site header; on a phone it is in the menu .
  2. Choose a theme in the list.
  3. Press the icon itself to change the theme with one press. It turns on “Auto”, the theme opposite to your device setting, and “Sepia” in turn.

On a tablet there may be no arrow. Then the icon itself opens the list.

You can also choose the theme in the settings , on the “Screen” tab . There, “Auto” is the “Match the system” switch.

These settings are in one window, on different tabs. On a phone the tabs have no labels, only icons.

  1. Press the gear in the site header; on a phone it is in the menu .
  2. Open the “Screen” tab .
  3. Choose the font and the text size.
  4. Open the “Bible” tab and turn on “Start each verse on a new line”.
  5. Turn off “Highlight the words of Christ” if you do not want the highlighting.

A reset returns the appearance to its original look. It also erases your favourite translations and the places where audio stopped. The site language, the current translation and your reading place stay.

  1. Press the gear in the site header; on a phone it is in the menu .
  2. Open the last tab, “Settings” .
  3. Press “Reset”.
  4. Confirm with the “Yes, reset” button.

The words of Christ are highlighted in red if the edition itself marks them, or if the translation’s licence allows us to mark them ourselves and we have done so. In other translations the “Highlight the words of Christ” setting changes nothing.

Settings live in the browser on this device. We plan to let you move them to another device or browser; for now, there you will have to choose them again.

A private browser window erases everything saved when you close it, settings included. The same happens if you clear the site data in your browser.
