Dark mode and appearance

Latte comes in light and dark, and you can pick an accent color to make it yours. Your choice is remembered on the device you set it on.

  1. Click the menu icon in the top app bar.

  2. Click Toggle dark/light mode to switch between the light and dark themes.

  3. Click Switch theme to pick an accent color from the palette.

On the Latte desktop app

The desktop app has the same app-bar menu, so dark mode and accent color live in the same place.

tip

The accent-color palette lives on the web and desktop app. On mobile you get the light/dark Theme switch.
