Reader Mode is a feature that allows users to focus on the content by hiding the sidebars and other UI elements. When enabled, it provides a clean, distraction-free reading experience.
> [!note]
> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
## Configuration
Reader Mode is enabled by default. To disable it, set `enabled: false` in your `quartz.config.yaml`:
```yaml title="quartz.config.yaml"
plugins:
- source: github:quartz-community/reader-mode
enabled: false
```
Or remove the plugin entirely:
```bash
npx quartz plugin remove github:quartz-community/reader-mode
```
- Install: `npx quartz plugin add github:quartz-community/reader-mode`
- Source: [`quartz-community/reader-mode`](https://github.com/quartz-community/reader-mode)
## Usage
The Reader Mode toggle appears as a button with a book icon. When clicked:
- Sidebars are hidden
- Hovering over the content area reveals the sidebars temporarily
Unlike Dark Mode, Reader Mode state is not persisted between page reloads but is maintained during SPA navigation within the site.
## Customization
You can customize the appearance of Reader Mode through CSS variables and styles. The component uses the following classes:
- `.readermode`: The toggle button
- `.readerIcon`: The book icon
- `[reader-mode="on"]`: Applied to the root element when Reader Mode is active
Example customization in your custom CSS:
```scss
.readermode {
// Customize the button
svg {
stroke: var(--custom-color);
}
}
```
