Setup

Nord2 is a sub-theme intended for use alongside the Nord theme built into Joplin.

1. Install fonts (optional)

Nord2 requires a sans-serif and monospace system font. It will work just fine with system defaults, or your own preferred fonts however, it will default to using the following fonts, if installed on your system:

sans-serif (one of the following in priority order)

• SF Pro Text

  • macOS system font available from Apple for macOS users (and Windows/Linux with a bit of work) as part of the "SF Pro" Family.

• Roboto

  • Open source font easily available for any platform from Google Fonts.

monospace

• Fira Code
  • Open source monospace font with software-development-centric ligatures available on Github.

Note that you can also easily modify the theme to use your preferred sans-serif and monospace fonts installed on your system by making appropriate changes to the following lines of userchrome.css and userstyle.css:

:root {
    ...
    --font-sans: "SF Pro Text", "Roboto", sans-serif;
    --font-mono: "Fira Code", monospace;
    ...
}

2. Install theme

• Go to Joplin > Preferences.
• Click Appearance.
• Select Nord from the "Theme" dropdown.
• Select your preferred "Editor font size." 13 works well for me.
• Click Show Advanced Settings.
• Click Edit for "Custom stylesheet for rendered Markdown." The CSS file will open in your configured editor (or system default). Paste the CSS from userstyle.css and save the file.
• Repeat for "Custom stylesheet for Joplin-wide app styles," pasting and saving the CSS from userchrome.css.
• Close and reopen Joplin to apply the changes.

To remove the theme, just repeat the above process, but delete the contents of the opened files, save them, and reopen Joplin.
