Color Schemes

Set your color scheme in mkdocs.yml:

theme:
  name: zettelkasten
  color_scheme: solarized

Tip

Users can switch schemes at runtime via the settings modal (gear icon in the navbar).

Available schemes

acme, ayu, catppuccin, dracula, eink, everforest, flexoki, github, gruvbox, horizon, kanagawa, material, modus, monokai, nord, one, papercolor, rose-pine, selenized, sepia, solarized, tokyo-night, zenburn

All schemes support both light and dark modes. Use the dark mode toggle in the settings modal to switch.

Code highlighting themes

Code block syntax highlighting uses highlight.js. Set defaults in mkdocs.yml:

theme:
  hljs_style: github           # light mode
  hljs_style_dark: github-dark # dark mode

Users can pick from 27 code themes in the settings modal. The preview pane shows a live sample.
