OnePane start page with a space background picture and see-through widgets

Make it yours

Light, dark or custom

Match your system, or choose your own background, card, text and accent colours. Start from a preset like Ocean or Midnight. Free.

Your background picture

Upload a photo from your computer or paste a link to one. Darken it a little so text stays easy to read. Pro.

See-through widgets

Set how much of the background shows through, from solid to 80% clear, with an optional blur behind. Pro.

Drag to resize

Drag a widget's corner to make it 2 to 6 columns wide. Drag the ⠿ handle to move it. Free.

Your units

°C or °F, and wind in km/h, mph, m/s or knots. Free.

Everywhere you sign in

Your theme, picture and layout are saved to your account, so they follow you to every computer. Phones get their own widget order.

Questions

Can I use my own photo as the background?

Yes, with Pro. Upload a picture from your computer (it's resized and saved privately to your account) or paste a link to a picture online.

Will text still be readable on a busy photo?

Yes. Darken the picture with a slider, and turn on the blur behind the widgets so the text sits on a soft, frosted panel.

Are custom colours free?

Yes. Light, dark and custom colour themes, resizing and units are all on the Free plan. Background pictures and see-through widgets are part of Pro.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Your theme and background follow you to your phone, where widgets stack in a single column.
