How to customize entry background or pad style

Penzu Pro and Pro+ customers can choose a Page Theme or Pad Theme for one individual entry on the full Penzu website.

  1. Save and open the entry you want to customize.

  2. Select the paintbrush Change style control beneath the entry title.

  3. Choose Background to change the page around the entry, or Pad to change the writing-pad style.

  4. Make your selection and select Save.

This changes only the open entry. It does not affect other entries or the journal's defaults.

To change a journal default instead, follow How to change your default journal cover, font, Page Theme, or Pad Theme. Entries without their own Background or Pad choice use the journal default.

Page Themes and Pad Themes are not available in the iOS or Android apps.
