The Preferences panel holds every appearance setting in one place. Changes apply immediately, and there is nothing to save.
Open Preferences
Click your avatar in the top-right corner, then click Preferences. The panel opens on the right. Click × or press Esc to close it.
The settings
The panel has three groups. Click an option to choose it; the one you're using has an orange outline.
Theme and colors
| Setting | Options | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Theme | Light, Dark | The color scheme of the whole app. |
| Page background | Default, Light, Grey, Warm | The color of the page behind cards and tables, shown as a swatch. Warm is the cream of the classic UnitConnect pages. Applies to the light theme only. |
| Strong contrast | On or off | Darker borders and field outlines. Turn it on if outlines are hard to see. |
Layout
| Setting | Options | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Sidebar, Top bar | Whether the main menu is a sidebar on the left or a horizontal bar under the header. The top bar fills up to about 70% of its width with pages and puts the rest under a More menu. |
| Density | Default, Compact | How much space table rows take. Compact fits more rows on screen without making the text smaller. |
Text
| Setting | Options | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Font | System, DM Sans | The typeface, shown as a sample. System uses your computer's standard font. |
| Text size | 90%, 100%, 110% | The size of all text in the app. The sample line under the buttons changes with it. |
The Navigation setting is available on larger screens. On a phone or small window, the menu is always opened with the ☰ button.
To go back to how UnitConnect looks out of the box, click Reset to defaults at the bottom of the panel.
Where your preferences are kept
All of these settings are saved to your account, so they follow you when you sign in on another browser or computer. A change you make on one computer shows on the others the next time UnitConnect loads there.
