The Appearance button sits in the left menu, between Settings and About. Its panel holds the text size control on every page, and the section switches for the movie or TV detail page that is open. It controls presentation only; it does not remove watch records, metadata, or artwork.

Text size

Drag the Text size slider in the Appearance panel to scale the text from 100% to 130%. The chosen size applies across Plekt and is saved on the Plekt server, so it follows you to other browsers and devices that use the same instance. It changes text size only; layout, data, and sync behavior are unchanged.

Look

Plekt has one look. Pages, controls, and actions stay in the same place, with rounded surfaces. Cards on the Dashboard, History, the libraries, Discover, Watchlist, Ratings, and Playlists are drawn over the title’s backdrop artwork. On the Dashboard, a folded run of episodes from one show is drawn as a stack with the older posters peeking out behind it. See Dashboard for the rows and cards involved.

Theme

The theme switch changes the visual treatment of the app without changing data.

Choose Light or Dark with the separate theme control in the sidebar footer.

The choice is stored in the current browser and reused when the app opens again. Theme changes colors and contrast only; they do not alter data or sync behavior.

Media-detail options

The available switches depend on the detail page that is open:

On a media page, Appearance exposes independent switches for optional detail sections.

Movie and TV detail pages can provide these switches, listed in the Appearance panel:

  • Logo Art: show the provider logo when one is available.
  • Cast Members: show the cast section and links to person pages. Person filmographies offer Movies and TV Shows tabs plus Year and Genre filters.
  • Trailers & Clips: show available video content.
  • Reviews: show provider review content.
  • Images: show the image gallery.
  • Related Shows: show related and recommendation content when the page provides it.

Each switch is independent and saved as an appearance preference. Turning a section off only changes what is rendered; the provider data remains available when the switch is turned back on.

The focused Movies media page and TV Shows media page guides describe the controls in each context.

Change a setting

  1. Open Movies or TV Shows and select a title.
  2. Open Appearance in the left menu.
  3. Turn the relevant section switch on or off.
  4. Navigate away and back if you want to verify that the preference was stored.
