Appearance

Windows provides two main colour modes — Light and Dark — to improve comfort and readability depending on your environment. VisitsRota offers the following options:

  • Automatic — Matches the colour mode set in Windows.
  • Light — A bright, clean appearance ideal for well‑lit spaces.
  • Dark — A softer interface that reduces eye strain in low‑light conditions.

Light mode is the default.
Note: System windows (such as file dialogs) always follow the operating system’s colour mode.
