Switching Themes: How to Enable Dark Mode

Property management doesn't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. If you're reviewing payment records, logging expenses, or checking maintenance requests late in the evening, staring at a bright screen can cause serious eye fatigue.

Landager features a fully-integrated Dark Mode designed for low-light environments.

Option 1: The Quick Toggle

The fastest way to switch themes on the fly:

1. Look at the top-right corner of your dashboard navigation bar.
2. You'll see an icon — a Sun (Light mode) or a Moon (Dark mode).
3. Click the icon to instantly switch the entire interface.

No page reload required. The change is immediate and affects every page of the dashboard.

Option 2: Permanent Preference via Settings

If you want Landager to always load in a specific theme:

1. Navigate to the left-hand sidebar and open Settings.
2. Under your Preferences, locate the Theme option.
3. Choose from three options:
   • Light: The interface stays on a white background permanently.
   • Dark: The interface uses a dark background permanently.
   • System Default (Recommended): Landager detects your device's operating system theme and automatically matches it.

Why Use Dark Mode?

Beyond looking sleek, Dark Mode offers real benefits for property managers:

• Reduced Eye Strain: Essential for end-of-month bookkeeping sessions or late-night maintenance reviews.
• Battery Life: On OLED smartphones (most modern iPhones, Samsung Galaxy devices), dark pixels save battery — helpful when using Landager's mobile interface on the go.
• Better Focus: The dark interface makes colored status tags stand out more — a bright red "Late" payment badge or a green "Paid" indicator draws your eye directly to actionable data.
