In short
LocalInbox lets you lay out its window and choose its look in Settings › Appearance: classic columns or floating rounded panels, the message beside the list or below it, a full sidebar or a strip of icons, twenty themes in light and dark, eleven accent colours, and a Solid, Glass or Clear window background.
Layouts
- Window: Classic columns, or Floating rounded panels with space around them.
- Reading pane: the message beside the list, or below it. Drag the bar between them to give either more room.
- Sidebar: Full, or a strip of icons with names and counts on hover.
- Density: Compact, Comfortable or Spacious. Corners: Sharp, Rounded or Pill.
- Conversations stacked, or as a chat: your messages on the right, everyone else's on the left.
Themes and colour
- Twenty themes, including Paper, Graphite, Native, Sand, High Contrast and two Liquid Glass themes, most in light and dark.
- Eleven accent colours, or the theme's own.
- A window background for any theme: Solid, Glass or Clear.
- Separate interface, reading and compose fonts, and a text size.
- Every theme meets WCAG AA contrast, and warnings follow the theme's colours.
Questions
Where do I change the layout?
In Settings › Appearance › Layout: Window, Reading pane and Sidebar. The button next to the LocalInbox logo shows and hides the sidebar, or switches between icons and the full sidebar.
Does my look follow me to my other Macs?
Theme, accent and fonts are saved with your settings, and with iCloud on they follow you to your other Macs.
