What does the checker and stars preset draw?
A subtle two-tone checkerboard in near-black and charcoal, with five-pointed stars in hot pink and silver scattered on top.
The checker is deliberately low contrast so the stars carry the color. Raising the density makes the checks smaller and adds more stars.
How do I adjust the mood?
Swap the background for a deep purple or keep it black and lower the density.
| Mood | Background | Density |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Near-black (default) | 1 |
| Purple night | Deep purple | 1 |
| Minimal | Black | 0.6 |
| Loud | Black | 1.8 |
Dark headers make light profile photos pop, which is a nice side effect.
Does a dark header work in light mode?
Yes. X shows the header the same in light and dark mode, and a dark header simply frames the profile more strongly in light mode.
If your posts are cheerful and your header is dark, that contrast can be part of your style. For the posts themselves, the emoji spacing check keeps a few well-placed stars from turning into a wall of emoji.
