Dark mode and choosing a theme

StackTrackr has a light theme and a dark theme for the signed-in app. You choose between them with the small three-button theme control at the bottom of the sidebar, next to the language switcher. On a phone or a narrow window it sits in the same place inside the menu.

The three buttons are System, Light and Dark. Light is the default, so the app stays light until you pick something else. Dark switches the app to dark colours straight away. System follows your device: if your computer or phone is set to dark mode the app goes dark, and if it is set to light the app stays light. While System is selected the app follows the device as it changes, so if your device switches to dark in the evening, StackTrackr does too, without a reload.

Your choice is remembered in the browser you made it in, and applied as soon as a page loads on your next visit, so you do not see a flash of the wrong theme. Because it is stored in the browser rather than on your account, it does not follow you to another computer or browser: set it once on each device you use. It is also personal. Changing your theme never changes what your teammates see.

The theme covers the app itself: the dashboard, the register, each tool's page, reports, settings and the plan page. The public website, the sign-in and sign-up pages and the public help pages stay in the light theme. Emails, such as renewal reminders, are not affected by your theme.

If something is hard to read in dark mode, switch back to Light at any time with the same control, and let us know through the suggestion box so we can fix it.
