Style and themes

Smart Mind styles a map at two levels. A theme sets the look of the whole map. Topic styles override the theme for the topics you pick. Changing the theme never wipes out the topic styles you have set.

Open ⋮ → Stylesheet to pick one of eighteen built-in themes. Each sets the canvas colour, a palette for the branches, topic shapes and fills, connector style and fonts.

The theme picker with light and dark themes

Themes
Free Classic, Ocean, Midnight
Light Pro Paper, Sunrise, Forest, Berry, Mono, Sepia, Pastel, Corporate, Candy, Plain
Dark Pro Blueprint, Graphite, Neon, Carbon, Moss

Midnight is dark and free on purpose. Someone using dark mode should never be stuck with a bright white map.

Text contrast is worked out automatically, so topic text stays readable on every theme, including your own.

Select a topic and tap Style to change it on its own:

  • Text: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, size and alignment
  • Shape: the outline the topic is drawn in
  • Colour: fill, text and border

Select several topics first to change them all at once. Reset puts a topic back to the theme’s defaults.

Every branch takes a colour from the theme’s palette. To change it, select a topic and pick a Branch colour. The topic and everything under it follow, including connectors and icons. Automatic hands the choice back to the theme.

In the theme picker, long-press any theme and choose Duplicate and edit. You can change the canvas, whether it is light or dark, how topics are filled, their shape, the connector style, the central topic’s colour and each branch colour.

Custom themes are saved in the app, marked with an edit badge in the picker, and travel with your maps when you sync devices. If you delete a custom theme that a map is using, that map falls back to Classic.
