  id: 'editor-container',
  projectId: 1234,

})

                <div id="editor-container"></div>
            </div>
        </div>

</html>
<script src="//editor.unlayer.com/embed.js"></script>
<script>
    unlayer.init({
        id: 'editor-container',
        projectId: 1234,

    })

Dark Mode

You can also run the editor in dark mode.

unlayer.init({
  id: 'editor-container',
  displayMode: 'email',
  appearance: {
    theme: 'dark',
  },
});

Changing Appearance

There are 2 ways you can change the appearance of Unlayer.

You can pass the appearance object during initialization like this:

unlayer.init({
  appearance: {
    theme: 'light',
    panels: {
      tools: {
        dock: 'right'
      }
    }
  }
});

You can change the appearance after initialization like this:
