# Pictures
A picture is a **style** (what it is made of) in a **tonality** (its colours), drawn from a **seed** (where every
shape goes). The system's appearance picks the half of the tonality: the same style and seed in light mode is the
light version of the same picture, and switching appearance switches the picture with it.
- [Styles](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/pictures/styles): the eleven.
- [Tonalities](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/pictures/tonalities): the eight, each in light and dark.
- [Effects](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/pictures/effects): the vignette, grain, and seven more, any number at once, each with its own settings.
- [Shuffling](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/pictures/shuffling): shuffled with some left out, or always one; by hand, on a schedule, or from the command line.

Undertone draws every picture itself, on your Mac, at your display's full resolution; nothing is downloaded.
