Choosing **light mode or dark mode** is a per-user setting, not a company-wide one. The platform can also follow the operating system, so the theme changes with the device.

## Why theme choice is worth exposing

Forcing one appearance on everyone creates friction for no benefit.

- Users working in a theme that strains their eyes
- Screens that clash with everything else on the device
- No way to match the theme to the time of day
- Personalization requests handled as support tickets

## The three theme options

| Setting    | Behaviour                                        |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Light**  | Light theme across the whole platform            |
| **Dark**   | Dark theme, including inside documents and cards |
| **System** | Follows the device's own setting                 |

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Open settings in **Jestor** and go to appearance.
2. Choose light, dark, or system — the setting applies to your user.
3. To let people pick their own menu colour, open the branding settings.
4. Enable the switch that exposes appearance controls in the top bar.
5. Each user can then choose the menu colour they prefer.

## Why choose Jestor for interface flexibility?

The light theme in **Jestor** was not a simple colour inversion — task views were simplified and some bars removed to soften the design, with the chat inside cards returning to a light appearance too.

Exposing the colour choice to users is an administrator decision, so a company that wants a consistent look can keep one while a company that does not can let people choose.
