Switching Between Light and Dark Mode

Watchtower offers two display themes:

Light Mode – A bright theme with a white background. This is the default setting.

Dark Mode – A darker theme that's easier on your eyes in low-light environments.

To switch themes:

  1. Click or tap "Toggle Dark Mode"
  2. The screen will immediately change to the other theme

Click or tap the button again to switch back.

Your Preference Is Saved

Your theme choice is saved to your account. If you switch to dark mode, it will stay in dark mode until you change it back, even if you log out and log back in.
