VebTheme#
Settings › Appearance › Theme is Light, Dark or the Mac’s own. The window and the pages follow.
The window around the page#
The Settings › Appearance › Window menu shows each way the page can sit in the window, in small:
- Edge to edge: the page fills the window, and the tabs wear its color.
- A color: the window is painted and the page lies on it as a card.
- The site’s color: the window takes the color of the site’s own bar, as if the bar ran up into it.
Color and grain
With a color, the dot on the Look row of Settings › Appearance opens the editor: drag the ringed dot across a field of dots for the hue and how much of it, then set transparency and grain on the two tracks below. Hold ⌥ to drag slowly, and double-click a track to reset it. A dark window wears each color a shade deeper. Coming from Arc or Chrome, Match Arc or Match Chrome under the tracks takes its colors. With two spaces or more, each has a color of its own, set on its page in Settings › Spaces.
Edit a space’s look
Edit Look…, in a space’s right-click menu or in ⌘T, opens a card over the window, which changes under it as you go. The field of dots has As Appearance, Light and Dark for the space at its top, preset colors and gradients under it, and + and − to add or take away a color. Then two switches, Shift with tabs, which moves your colors a step with each new tab, and Take the site’s color, and Drawings over it all. Reset and Use for All Spaces are in its ⋯ menu; esc closes it.
Glass
On macOS 26 the transparency track ends in a bead of glass. Drag past the end, or click the bead, and the window’s frame turns to Liquid Glass, your color a tint on it and the sidebar’s words kept readable. Drag back onto the wave for your color again. Each space keeps its own, so one can be glass and the next a color. With Reduce Transparency or Increase Contrast on, the window wears the color whole.
App icon#
Settings › Appearance › App icon picks the icon in the Dock: Default, Flat, Watercolor Glass or Opal. The rest come from a post on X, from inviting friends and from finishing Veb Wrapped.
Tabs#
Settings › Appearance › Sidebar is Left, Right or Off, which puts the tabs across the top, as ⇧⌘S does. Tab icons chooses between each site’s icon and a letter, and Density is Comfortable, with Arc’s sizes, or Compact.
Address bar#
Veb shows no address bar by default: ⌘L is the address. If you’d rather see where you are, press ⇧⌘L, or choose Site or Full URL in Settings › Appearance › Address bar. The site is written across the top of the page; click it to change the address. Point at it for a lock, which says whether the connection is private and has Show Certificate, and a button that copies the link. Back from there are what you allowed the site and translation.
Bookmarks bar#
⇧⌘B shows your bookmarks in a row above the page, as the Settings › Appearance › Bookmarks bar switch does. Folders open as menus; ⌘-click opens a bookmark in a new tab. Under the switch, Bookmarks show chooses Icons and names, Icons only, or Icons, folders named.
Page size and fonts#
Settings › Appearance › Page size sets how large sites are drawn when they have no zoom of their own: three Aa, 90%, 100% and 125%. ⌘+ and ⌘- still give a site a zoom of its own, and ⌘0 brings it back to this size.
Customize… on the Fonts row opens the type pages are set in when they don’t choose their own: the text size, the standard, serif, sans-serif and fixed-width fonts, and the smallest size any text may be. Restore Defaults puts them all back.
