Custom themes
Since
JabRef 5.2
it is possible to use custom themes. In Preferences > Appearance > Visual theme
the themes in general can be changed. Themes are just CSS files defining the look of the UI.- Dark Theme: There is an alternative dark theme (
Dark.css
) which is based onBase.css
and just overwrites the colors. - Custom Theme: In
Preferences > Appearance > Visual theme > Custom theme
there can be set a custom theme by simply selecting a custom CSS (based onBase.css
orDark.css
), for instance:
dark-custom (2) (1).css

- #8523: On Windows 10, it is not possible to use fonts that were installed user-wide in the CSS, only system-wide fonts are working. A workaround to use fonts that are not installed system-wide is to include the font file via
@font-face
.
