Custom Note Backgrounds (Pro)

Pro subscribers can set custom background images or gradients:

Setting a Background

1. Go to Settings
2. Find the Backgrounds section
3. Upload an image or choose a gradient
4. Adjust the settings to your liking

Background Controls

• Darkness overlay: Adjust how dark the overlay is on top of your background image. This ensures text remains readable even on bright images. Slide to increase or decrease the darkness.
• Scale: Control how the background image is sized — zoom in or out to get the right framing.

Background Scope

Choose where your background appears:

• Editor only — The background appears behind just the note editor area. The sidebar and other panels keep their theme colors.
• Full note — The background extends across the entire note panel, including the note list and editor.
• Entire app — The background covers the whole SpudSuite interface, including the sidebar.

UI Panel Transparency

When you use an app-wide background, you can adjust the transparency of UI panels (sidebar, note list, toolbar). This lets the background show through the panels for a more immersive look, while still keeping text readable.

Tips

• Try a few themes before settling — each one changes the feel of the app
• Use lighter themes during the day and darker themes at night
• Custom themes are great for matching your company's brand colors
• Background images work best when they're not too busy — subtle textures and gradients are ideal
