Dark mode is here

Release notes · 21 October 2026

Cloudby now comes in dark. Not a colour swap: every office screen was redesigned for the dark, modelled on the backlit keys and smoked panels of classic hi-fi, and the Service Field app matches it.

Dark mode in the office

  • Open My Profile and pick from the Appearance card: Match device, Light or Dark
  • Match device follows your computer’s own light or dark setting, so Cloudby turns dark in the evening if your computer does
  • The change takes effect at once, with no reload, and is remembered on that computer
  • Covers the whole office: dashboards and their charts, lists, records and line items, the Planner, reports, menus, the date picker and pop-ups
  • Printouts and PDFs stay light, so your documents look the same however you work
  • Light mode is unchanged

Designed for the dark

  • Thin lines, quiet greys: dense lists stay organised with faint row stripes, a gentle lift on the row under your pointer and a clear selected row
  • Backlit tiles: dashboard tiles keep their colour as a deep tint with a fine bright edge and a soft glow
  • Keys that light up: buttons are calm at rest and light from behind when you hover or press, and the main action stands apart from the quieter ones
