# Styles
Each style below is shown in one tonality, dark on the left and light on the right; every style works in every
[tonality](https://mpdreamz.github.io/undertone/pictures/tonalities). On the **Picture** page of **Settings…**, keep one, or shuffle among those you leave checked.

## Mesh

Soft glows over a dark base. The quietest style, and the one closest to a plain colour.

| Dark                                                                                           | Light                                                                                            |

## Flow

Marbled, slowly folding colour: noise bent by more noise, run through the tonality.

| Dark                                                                                          | Light                                                                                           |

## Waves

Layered ribbons, back to front, each with a lit rim and a shadow on the one behind.

| Dark                                                                                            | Light                                                                                             |

Large spheres lit from the top left, glowing onto the glows behind them.

## Rings

Concentric bands round a centre below one of the bottom corners, each shaded like a tube.

## Dunes

Hills stacked towards you, each lit along its ridge, the sky behind them.

## Silk

Three wide ribbons that twist as they cross the screen, a sheen running across each.

## Aurora

Curtains of light hanging from wandering lines, streaked by noise.

| Dark                                                                                                | Light                                                                                                 |

## Blobs

A lava lamp: soft blobs that merge where they meet, lit from within.

| Dark                                                                                            | Light                                                                                             |
