Switch between dark and light themes
Themes
data-peek supports both dark and light themes.
A SQL client is something you stare at for hours, so the theme isn’t cosmetic — it’s about eye comfort across very different environments. Dark mode is the default for low-light, long sessions; light mode is there for bright rooms, projectors, and screenshots where a dark UI washes out. Whichever you pick, the accent blue and the editor syntax colors stay consistent, so the app feels like one coherent tool in either mode.
Switching Themes
Click the theme toggle button in the sidebar header (sun/moon icon) to switch between themes. The change applies instantly across every open tab and window.
Dark Theme
The default theme, optimized for:
- Long coding sessions
- Low-light environments
- Reduced eye strain
Colors:
- Background: Near-black (#0a0a0b)
- Text: Off-white (#fafafa)
- Accent: Blue (#6b8cf5)
Light Theme
A clean, bright theme for:
- Well-lit environments
- Daytime use
- High contrast preference
Colors:
- Background: White (#ffffff)
- Text: Near-black (#0a0a0b)
- Accent: Blue (#6b8cf5)
Theme Persistence
Your theme preference is saved and persists across app restarts.
Editor Theme
The Monaco editor automatically adjusts to match the selected theme, with appropriate syntax highlighting colors for each mode — you never configure the editor theme separately.
When to use which
- Dark — night work, dim rooms, or if bright screens tire your eyes. It’s the default.
- Light — presenting on a projector, pairing in a bright room, or capturing screenshots for docs where a light background reads better. For demo screenshots you also want Data Masking to blur sensitive values.
