Appearance
Settings → Personal settings → Appearance controls whether Mitzu renders in light or dark mode.
Unlike the workspace and organisation tabs in Settings, this one is personal, not shared. It changes how Mitzu looks for you alone — nobody else in the workspace sees a difference — and it is available to every role, since it is not a workspace configuration.
Choosing a mode​
Pick one of three options:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Light | Always use light mode, whatever your device is set to. This is the default. |
| Dark | Always use dark mode, whatever your device is set to. |
| System default | Follow your operating system. If your Mac, Windows, or Linux desktop switches to dark in the evening, Mitzu follows it. |
Mitzu starts in Light for everyone. Dark mode is opt-in: even if your computer is set to dark, Mitzu stays light until you pick Dark or System default here.
The change applies the moment you click — there is no save button, and the page does not reload.
Light and dark​
The same home page, in each mode:
Where the preference is stored​
Your choice is remembered per browser, on the device you set it on. It is not attached to your Mitzu account.
In practice that means:
- Setting dark mode on your laptop does not change anything on your phone, or in a different browser on the same laptop.
- A private or incognito window starts from Light again, and forgets your choice when you close it.
- Clearing your browser's site data resets it to Light.
Because the preference is per browser, it also does not travel with anything you share. A dashboard or insight you send to a colleague renders in their chosen mode, not yours.
What stays light​
A few things deliberately do not follow dark mode:
- Charts sent outside the app — scheduled agent emails, alert notifications, and dashboard PDF reports. Email clients and PDF viewers vary too much to rely on a transparent background, so these are always rendered on white.
- Chart thumbnails saved before dark mode shipped. Insight preview images generated earlier have a white background baked into the stored image, so they still show as white cards on a dark page until the insight is saved again.
