Appearance and dark mode

Sporeline follows the light or dark setting of the device you are using. If your phone, tablet or computer is set to dark, Sporeline shows its dark theme: deep plum backgrounds with light text. If it is set to light, you get the light theme. When your device switches on its own (for example, dark after sunset), Sporeline switches with it.

Picking light or dark for yourself

If you want Sporeline to look one way no matter what your device is set to, open Settings > Security and find Appearance at the bottom of the page. Everyone on the farm can open that page. Owners and managers also find the same control near the bottom of the main Settings page. There are three choices:

• Follow device keeps Sporeline in step with your device setting. This is where everyone starts.
• Light keeps Sporeline light, even when your device is dark.
• Dark keeps Sporeline dark, even when your device is light.

The change shows straight away. Your choice is saved in the browser you made it in, so the grow-room tablet and your office laptop can each be set their own way. If you use a private window, or a browser that does not let sites save anything, Sporeline goes back to following your device once you close the tab.

Changing your device setting

To change the setting Follow device uses:

• macOS: Apple menu > System Settings > Appearance, then choose Light, Dark or Auto.
• Windows 11: Settings > Personalization > Colors > Choose your mode, then Light or Dark.
• iPhone and iPad: Settings > Display & Brightness, then Light or Dark (or Automatic).
• Android: Settings > Display > Dark theme (the name can vary by phone maker).

Printing

Printed labels, count sheets, recall sheets, PDFs and emails always come out in their normal light colours, whichever theme you are looking at. The print preview shows the sheet the way it will print.
