Turn on dark mode for your client area
Quick answer
Go to Administration → Settings → Configure features → Client area appearance and choose "Follow each client’s device" under Dark mode.
Dark mode in the client area follows each client’s own device rather than a setting you make on their behalf. A client whose phone or computer is set to dark sees a dark client area. A client whose device is set to light sees a light one.
This is deliberate. The person reading an invoice at night is your client, not you, and their device already knows what they prefer.
If you choose Always light, every client sees the same light client area regardless of their device.

-
Open the client area appearance settings
Administration → Settings → Configure features → Client area appearance.

Choose the dark mode option
Under Dark mode, select Follow each client’s device.

Select Save at the bottom of the page.
Common problems
I turned it on but my client area still looks light
Probable causes
- Your own device is set to light
How to fix it
The preview and the client area both follow the device they are viewed on. Set your own device to dark to see the dark version, or ask a colleague whose device is set to dark.
I want to force dark for everybody
How to fix it
This is not offered. Forcing dark on a client whose device is set to light makes the page harder to read for them, and there is no way for them to change it back. Their device setting is the more reliable signal.
