Docs / The editor / Customize: code themes, colors and the toolbar
Mokxi team · The editor

Customize is at the foot of the editor's sidebar, at
app.mokxi.com/customize. It has three tabs down its side: Look, Code
editor and Toolbar. Signed in, every choice is saved to your account and
follows you to every device. Your profile moved to Settings in 0.5.1: see
your account.

## Look

The Unlocks card: rings, editor colors and editor themes, earned by level,
badges, streak and time on Mokxi. Pick the ring that shows around your picture
and the editor color you want. With Level and badges switched on for your
public page, your level and ring show there and on your gallery projects too.
A class account's ring and colors are just for the student and never show in
public. Signed out, the card still shows what you have unlocked in this
browser, and a free account lets you wear them. See
XP and levels for what unlocks each one.

Where Mokxi AI is on, Look also has Chip walks around: now and then Chip
hops out of the bubble and strolls along the bottom of the canvas.

## Code editor

How the code pane looks:

- Match my editor: one press sets the theme, font, size and spacing of
VS Code, Arduino IDE, JetBrains, Xcode or Sublime Text.

- Theme: 40 themes, grouped as Mokxi, VS Code, Arduino IDE, JetBrains,
Xcode, Sublime Text and Popular themes. Find a theme or editor filters
them as you type.

- Font: System, SF Mono, Menlo, Consolas, Cascadia Code, JetBrains Mono,
Fira Code, DejaVu Sans Mono or Courier New. A font your computer does not
have falls back to the system one; nothing is downloaded.

- Size: Editor default, or 10 to 24 px.

- Line height: 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8 or 2.

- Ligatures, on or off, and Wrap long lines.

- Reset to default puts back the editor as it ships.

On Free, Mokxi's own theme, the system font and every size and spacing setting
are yours. The other themes and fonts show as a preview marked
Included with Pro, with See Pro. A child's account, a class account and
a signed-out visitor see only what they can use, with no Pro items at all.

A tip for long sessions: a dark theme with a slightly larger size and line
height is easier on the eyes, and Match my editor makes Mokxi feel like the
editor you already code in, so your muscle memory carries over.

## Toolbar

Which tools sit on the round toolbar at the top left of the canvas. Run and
More always stay.

- The bar as it is: each pinned tool has Move left, Move right and
Unpin, and you can drag them into a new order.

- Every tool below it is a toggle that pins it to the bar or takes it off:
Undo, Redo, Add, Copy, Paste, Duplicate, Fit, Zoom in, Zoom out, Rotate,
Delete, Block, Chip, Code chip, Frame, Lock, Select all and more.

- Up to 10 tools fit on the bar. At 10 the rest wait, and the page says why.

- Reset to default brings back the usual bar: Undo, Redo, Add, Draw, Tidy,
Layers, DC operating point and Checkup.

The toolbar is free on every plan. Customize toolbar in the canvas's
More menu opens the same settings right beside the bar.
