Dark mode
Dark mode reduces the amount of light emitted by displays, reducing eye strain in dark environment, as well as reducing the amount of power some devices use.
When in dark mode, the colour scheme changes from light backgrounds with dark text to dark backgrounds with light text.
It is only possible to view the login and portal sections of AppsAnywhere in dark mode.
Each user can choose if the portal is displayed in dark or light mode by opening the theme menu, located at the top right of the portal.
The following options are available:
Theme | Description |
|---|---|
Light | The portal will always be displayed in light mode. |
Dark | The portal will always be displayed in dark mode. |
System default (Default) | The portal will be displayed in either light or dark mode, depending on which is requested by the user’s browser. |
By default System default will be selected.
A dark mode specific system logo, header logo and login background can be uploaded. The dark mode specific version will appear when the portal is displayed in dark mode, with the primary version appearing in light mode.
