You can change how the app looks. The layout theme and light or dark mode are two separate settings.

Choose a layout theme

  1. Open Account & API in the sidebar.
  2. Go to Appearance.
  3. Select a theme.
  4. Click Save theme.
Theme Look
Ink rail The default. A dark sidebar, flat cards with borders and tighter corners.
Fluid The standard look with a full sidebar.
Compact rail A narrow sidebar with icons only, and denser text. You can expand the sidebar.
Soft A floating sidebar, rounder corners and cards without borders.

The layout theme belongs to your account. It applies on every device where you sign in.

Switch between light and dark

Click the sun or moon button in the top bar. On a phone, open your account menu and select Toggle theme. You can also search for Toggle dark mode.

Light or dark mode is saved in your browser. Each browser and device keeps its own choice. Dark mode is the default.
