Everything here lives in this browser. No account, no sync, nothing sent anywhere. Changes take effect as you make them, and the panel previews them live. To carry your settings to another device, copy them from the data panel at the foot of the page.

Appearance
Theme
Auto follows your system. The masthead toggle cycles it too.
Accent
Re-inks the signal colour: rules, active marks, and links pick it up everywhere.
Type size
Scales the whole page, small to extra-large.
Density
Compact tightens the rows and folds away per-pick notes.
Reading
Body type
Serif is the house style. Sans sets the reading text in the headline face.
Line height
How open the running text sits on the page.
Line width
The longest a line of reading text can run. Normal is 66 characters.
Sets reading text flush on both edges, hyphenating where needed.
Picks, sources, and every other outbound link opens alongside, keeping your place here.
Accessibility
Motion
Reduced switches off the reveal animations and hover movement. Auto follows your system setting.
Contrast
High pushes the text and every rule further from the paper, in whichever theme you read. Auto follows your system setting.
Links in navigation, rails, and the footer get underlines too, so colour is never the only cue.
Opens the space between letters and words across the site. Some readers find this easier to track.

Type size and reduced motion set here work alongside your browser and system settings, never against them. Zoom, large-text modes, and screen readers all keep working as usual.

Detail
Per pick: where it surfaced and how loudly, relevance, score, and which model curated it.
Relevance and score in each pick's byline.
Every pick arrives with its notes already unfolded.
Sections

Switch off sections you don't want on the front page or in the nav. A muted section still keeps its own page and feed; it's just out of your way here. A switch on means the section is shown.

Your data

Your settings, gathered as JSON. Each one lives in this browser's localStorage under the eclecta: prefix. Copy the set to move to another device, or paste a saved set and apply it. Applying replaces everything: settings you leave out of the paste return to their defaults.
