Setup background image

One of the standout features of Bookmer is the ability to set your own background wallpaper — adding a truly personal touch to your workspace.

Ways to Access the Wallpaper Editor

There are several ways to open the Wallpaper Editor, depending on your preference:

  • Right-Click Anywhere

    Simply right-click on an empty space in the interface and select “Edit Wallpaper.” This is the fastest way to get started.

  • Via the Main Menu

    Click the menu icon (top right) → go to “Settings” → then select “Wallpaper.”

    This brings you to the same Wallpaper Editor.


Using the Wallpaper Editor

Once inside the editor, you’ll see:

  • preview of your current wallpaper at the top.

  • Click the preview or the image icon to open a popup window for selecting a new background.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Choose from built-in wallpapers.

  • Search for images within the interface.

  • Upload your own image.

  • Import from an external URL.


Advanced Customization Options

After selecting an image, you can fine-tune the visual style:

  • Blur Effect: Softens the image for a less distracting background.

  • Dim Effect: Lowers brightness for better contrast with content.

  • Navigation Transparency: Adjust how transparent nav elements appear.

  • Text Color: Manually set the color for UI text and icons (especially helpful when text clashes with a bright or busy background).


Dynamic Wallpapers for Dark Mode

A special highlight:

You can also set a separate wallpaper specifically for Dark Mode.

  • When users switch to Dark Mode, the wallpaper automatically changes to your selected Dark Mode version.

  • If no Dark Mode wallpaper is defined, Bookmer will simply retain the default background.

This feature is completely optional — but a great way to elevate your aesthetic experience across light and dark themes.
