Changing the look and feel
You can use the workspace “All Text Options” to change the look and feel of document texts. You can access these options from the kabab menu on the top right (aka three vertical dots). Use this menu to adjust various AndBible appearance options including font size and type, text and background colors, toggling words of Christ in red, and more.
When using multiple windows, you can use the individual window text options to override current workspace settings. Tap and hold the square window icon at the bottom for the window whose settings you wish to customize. Choose “Text Options” then “All Text Options”. This will open the menu to configure AndBible’s’ appearance for that specific window.
For things that can not be changed through these menus, like the color of certain texts within a module, e.g. Strong’s numbers, you can code the color in the style.css file located within a zip package. You can use HiSB Bible module to see the structure and placement of this file, it should be located in the modules/texts/ztext/hisb/style directory. Once coded you simply use the “Load From Zip” function under Backup/Restore section of the main menu.
