Getting started

Changing language, dark mode and text size

Choose your language, switch between light and dark mode, and make text larger or clearer.

Language

On a computer, press the language button in the thin bar at the top of the screen. It shows a short code, such as EN. On a phone, press Menu and use the language button near the bottom.

You can also open Settings, stay on the Profile tab, and use Language Preference.

Your choice is saved to your account, so it stays the same when you sign in on another device. The languages you can choose depend on your community.

Light and dark mode

Open the menu under your name and press Dark Mode or Light Mode.

Or, in Settings on the Profile tab, find Theme and choose Light, Dark or System. System follows the setting on your device.

Text size and other display options

In Settings, on the Profile tab, scroll down to Appearance Preferences. There you can:

• change the Font Size
• choose an Accent Color for buttons and links
• change the Layout Density, which is how much space there is between things
• turn on Large Text, High Contrast, Reduced Motion or Simplified Layout

Reduced Motion cuts down on animation. Simplified Layout removes decorative effects such as shadows and blur.
