Before you begin
- Use your own schedule or a privately shared schedule where you have edit access.
Choose a theme
Select Style → Themes. On a phone, open Schedule tools → Appearance, then Themes.
Select a theme to see it on your schedule. Essentials themes are free; other collections require Pro to save.
Select a design in Style → Themes to see it on your schedule.
Changes apply immediately; Done closes the dialog, rather than saving a separate draft. Without Pro, a Pro theme is only a temporary preview: closing Style starts a 30-second countdown, then the saved appearance returns.
To return to Standard, select Reset beside Done in Themes. This resets the theme, not the background or effect. Find backgrounds in the Backgrounds tab; change individual event colors in the event editor.
In Settings → General, turn on Theme only on schedule to keep the interface in your light or dark mode without changing the schedule’s theme. It is off by default and is saved with the schedule.
Adjust an effect’s strength
Open Style → Effects → Presets and choose an effect.
Open Adjustments and set Effect strength from 0% to 100%. 50% is the default; 0% hides particles without removing the effect.
- Switching effects keeps the strength. To remove an effect, select Reset beside Done in Effects.
- If the strength slider is disabled, choose an effect in Presets first.
- With Pro access, changes save automatically; use Undo to revert them. On Free, adjustments belong to the temporary preview and are not saved.
Effects are hidden when your device requests reduced motion. They are also excluded from print and PNG/PDF exports; JSON backups retain the effect setting.
Choose a font and text size
Open Settings > Text and select a Font from the font list.
Adjust Font size from 80% to 140%. Check the preview for readable event titles, times, and details. Use Reset to default to undo a font or size override.
Arrange events and schedule surfaces
Open Settings > Layout. These choices change presentation, not event times or details.
- Builder spacing: Choose Fit to workspace to keep more of the day visible, or Comfortable to add room for short and overlapping events.
- Corner style: Choose Rounded or Square for the schedule and event corners.
- Overlapping events: Choose Side by side to divide the available space, or Overlap for staggered event cards that show more detail.
- Event accent bar: Choose On to show a narrow colored strip on events, or Off to hide it.
Change an individual event’s colors
Open an editable event and choose a swatch under Color.
Select Show more options to adjust Background and Text colors separately. Check that the text remains readable.
Select Save changes. For linked days or a series, choose the scope beside the save button first, then select the save action shown.
Synced calendar events are read-only. Edit those events in their original calendar instead.
