You can show Beyond Payday in a light or dark color scheme, or let it follow your device. Change it with Appearance in Settings (opens in a new tab). It's available on every plan.

Steps

  1. Open Settings (opens in a new tab). The link is at the bottom of the sidebar.
  2. Find the Application Settings card.
  3. Next to Appearance, choose System, Light or Dark.

The change applies right away. You don't need to save.

How it works

  • System follows your device's light or dark setting. It is the default.
  • Your choice is saved to your account. When you sign in on another device, or in the phone or Windows app, Beyond Payday uses the same setting.
  • Each person has their own setting. Changing yours doesn't change anyone else's in your family.

FAQ

What does System do? System matches your device's own light or dark setting and changes when your device does. It is the default.

Does my choice change the theme for my family? No. Appearance is saved to your own account, so each family member picks their own.
