Appearance

The dashboard comes in a light and a dark theme. Light is the default. System follows your device's light or dark setting and switches with it, so a laptop that goes dark at sunset takes the dashboard along without a reload.

Changing the theme

There are three places to pick one, and they all do the same thing:

• User menu. Open the menu under your name at the bottom of the sidebar and use the three-way switch next to Theme.
• Settings. Settings > Profile > Appearance shows a preview of each option.
• Command palette. Press ⌘K (Ctrl K on Windows and Linux) and type dark, light or system.

The choice is saved in this browser, so a work laptop and a phone can each keep their own. Every open tab of the dashboard switches together.

In the iPhone app

The iPhone app has the same three options and also starts in Light. Change it under Settings > Appearance, or before you sign in, from the gear in the top corner of the sign-in screen. The choice is saved on the phone and does not follow your account to the dashboard.

What the dark theme leaves light

A few things are shown the way someone else will see them, whatever theme you use:

• Designed email. In the unibox, a plain reply is drawn in the dashboard's dark colours. A message that brings its own colours or backgrounds (a newsletter, a branded signature, most mail written in Outlook) sits on a white sheet instead, so it looks the way its sender designed it.
• Forms. The form builder previews your form with its own design, as visitors will see it on the published page.
• Shared images. An analytics card exported as an image always uses the light design.

Mail you send is not affected by your theme. Recipients see exactly what you wrote.
