Firelight

Firelight

A quiet theme for long reading and writing, built on the Firelight palette. Most of it can be adjusted using Style Settings.

Features

• Three palettes - Ash in light, Smoulder or Coal in dark
• Hanken Grotesk and Space Mono, embedded in the theme, so nothing to install and both work on mobile
• Editor set in either face, whichever suits the writing
• Quiet markdown formatting marks, with three levels of restraint
• Callouts, blockquotes, tags and tables with adjustable surfaces and edges
• Heading scale, heading colors and optional dividers
• Internal and external links can take separate colors
• Twenty-one task states, each with its own glyph and hue
• Focus options that dim inactive panes and fade the interface until you reach for it

Recommended plugins

• Style Settings - Firelight looks right without it, but this is how everything above is adjusted.
