    <title>Choosing the right display theme</title>

    <p><app>Astrognome</app> has the concept of display themes. A display theme is a ruleset of which planets, aspects and antiscia should the chart view and the table views show.</p>

    <p><app>Astrognome</app> has three built in themes:</p>

    <terms>
      <item>
        <title>Everything</title>
        <p>This displays everything <app>Astrognome</app> knows about: each planet, comet, theoretical/imaginary points, everything.</p>
      </item>

      <item>
        <title>Classic</title>
        <p>This is the classic view, used by the early astrologers. It shows planets only up to Saturn, and uses only the Ptolemaic (major) aspects. Also, it doesn’t show any antiscia.</p>
      </item>

      <item>
        <title>No comets</title>
        <p>This is the same as Everything, except it doesn’t include the comets and dwarf planets (<app>Astrognome</app>, like most astrologers, treat Pluto as a planet, not a dwarf).</p>
      </item>
    </terms>

    <p>You can choose the right display theme with the display theme chooser above the chart, or change the default display theme in the <link xref="preferences">Preferences</link> dialog.</p>
