Display settings
Choose a mode (light, dark, or automatic — follows your OS), an accent theme (four presets or a custom color), a text size, and a layout density (Comfortable / Standard / Compact). Edits show in the live preview first — Apply & Save makes them real. The main SheetApps has its own Display settings (navbar menu); each generated app has its own under its Settings tab.
Here's each control on the Display card — what it changes and when to reach for it. The main SheetApps has its own Display card (top-right menu); every app has one on its Settings tab, so an app can look different from the rest.
- Form style — the shape of record forms and lists: Classic (boxed), Card (rounded, tinted headers), Compact (denser), Minimal (flat). Pick by taste; choose Compact or Minimal to fit more on screen.
- Mode — Light, Dark, or Automatic (follows your device, switching at night). Use Automatic to match your system.
- Text size — Small to Extra large. Increase it for easier reading or when presenting on a big screen.
- Accent theme — the highlight colour: four presets or a custom colour. Match your brand or taste.
- Layout & comfort — Comfortable, Standard, or Compact spacing. Compact fits more rows on data-heavy screens; Comfortable adds breathing room.
- Language — the interface language. It defaults to English regardless of your device; pick German, Japanese or Arabic to see SheetApps in that language (saved for next sign-in). The default option reads
Default (English). - Region & number formatting — how dates, numbers, currency and percentages are shown (never the stored data). Use device default follows your browser's locale — or, if you set a home Country below, your language plus that country. Set it explicitly when your device's locale isn't how you want figures to appear.
- Regional defaults · Country — your home country; shapes country-aware fields (postal code, national ID, bank ID). Not set — follow the viewer follows your device (your browser/OS locale's country). A per-user setting: set it at the SheetApps level and every app follows it, or override it on one app. No shared app default.
- Regional defaults · Currency — your default currency for new currency fields. Not set — follow the viewer follows your device's currency. Per-user: set it at the SheetApps level for all your apps, or override it on one.
- Apply settings to your apps — on Apply & Save, copies these settings (look, language, region, regional defaults) onto every app you can access, replacing each app's own. It's a one-shot: the switch turns itself off, and apps stay individually editable.
Your display settings are yours alone — saved to your account and synced across the devices and browsers you sign in on, never shared with anyone else on the same computer. Turn on “Apply settings to your apps” on the main SheetApps's Display card and then Apply & Save to copy these settings — language, region & number formatting, and your regional defaults (country, currency) included — into every app you can access, replacing each app's own look. The switch turns itself off afterwards, and each app can still be customized individually.
