Understand Light, Dark and System appearance and how display preferences differ from business settings.
Light, Dark or System?#
Appearance changes the supported interface presentation. It does not change the active workspace, staff access, tax treatment or business currency.
| Choice | When it fits | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Keep the supported light interface presentation. | Uses the light display preference rather than following the device’s current appearance. |
| Dark | Use the supported dark interface presentation. | Changes the display preference; it does not publish a different storefront theme. |
| System | Follow the device or browser’s appearance preference. | The supported interface responds when the system preference changes. |
Display choices and business settings are separate#
Interface language, display currency, business-record currency and storefront design answer different questions. Read the relevant help for each rather than using one setting as a shortcut for another.
Reprinted records retain the original information required by their workflow. A display preference does not rewrite issued amounts or original receipt identity.
Keep the active workspace, actual business requirements and current setup summary in view. A guide explains a choice; it does not make that choice for you.
