Drafts 26 introduced the ability to create, install and use custom themes which control the display of text in the editor, and aspect of the user interface. Below is a quick video walkthrough of the process of selecting and installing new themes on iOS.

First off, a BIG thank you for implementing custom themes and syntaxes! Iām sure it was a lot of work, and the effort definitely paid off.
I was hoping to make a quick suggestion that might make things easier when using custom themes. On the Mac, the Editor Preferences screen actually shows you the name of the themes you have selected for both the Light and Dark themes. However, on iOS and iPadOS, I donāt see the name of the selected theme under the Light and Dark previews. Specifically, Iām referring to this screen:
Because many of the themes now look similar, I have no idea which theme Iāve actually selected for Light and Dark. Would you consider putting the respective names of the currently selected themes under the Light and Dark previews for iOS and iPadOS? I know youāre busy, but this would really help me out a lot.
Thanks so much!
Request noted. Itās mostly a matter of available space, but will consider it.
Maybe dropping the Aa in the Preview and moving Light/Dark in there will give you space for the theme name - just suggesting ā¦
Or maybe just highlight the active theme somehow in the list. No need to resize everything to add more words to this screen, imo.
The new update looks great! Thanks, Greg!
I love the themes in Drafts. I want to assign a theme to a workspace (for example my workspace ārecipesā has a sepia background). The problem I experience though is that often the theme does not change while I change workspace. When I go to my workspace āprojectsā (for example) the theme sepia stays activated (even after closing and re-opening the Desktop app). While this āprojectsā workspace has the default light and dark theme activated. [itās my first post in the community here, apologies if itās not appropriate to mention this problems in this thread, please let me know]
Workspaces are applied, but not really ever āunappliedā, so thereās no really action point for a theme to be reverted. If you are using this feature, the best way to manage this is to also have a theme attached to your āDefaultā workspace - so when you apply it to āleaveā your other workspace by clearing filters, it also reverts your theme to the default one you prefer. More on the Default workspace.
