Creating eye-catching code snippets with CodeAura is fast and intuitive. Follow these steps to generate your first snapshot!
Simply type or paste your code snippet directly into the main editor window. CodeAura automatically detects your programming language for syntax highlighting, but you can also manually choose a language from the dropdown menu at the top.
Make the snippet your own by using the right-hand adjustment panels:
- Theme Panel: Switch between various beautiful syntax highlighting themes (e.g., dark, light, high-contrast).
- Background Panel: Choose a vibrant gradient, a solid color backdrop, or make the background fully transparent.
- Frame Panel: Adjust the padding around your code, toggle the macOS-style window controls, and fine-tune the drop shadow depth to make the window pop.
- Font Panel: Pick from developer-friendly fonts, and adjust the font size, line height, and weight for maximum readability.
As you work, CodeAura automatically saves your progress to your local History.
- Smart Sessions: Significant changes (like switching the programming language or entering new code) will create a brand-new history entry.
- Minor Tweaks: Modifying styling options (like changing the padding or theme) simply updates your current design without cluttering your history.
If you sign in, your histories and creations will be securely synced across your devices!
