HoLaCe supports light mode, dark mode, and custom firm-branded themes. Each user can choose their personal preference, and that preference overrides the firm-wide default set by your firm admin. [Screenshot: Theme selector showing light, dark, and custom theme options side by side]

​
Where to set it

Open Settings → Appearance (or Settings → User Profile → Appearance). You’ll see:
  • Light — bright background, dark text. Best for daytime work or printed-doc-heavy days.
  • Dark — dark background, light text. Easier on the eyes during long sessions.
  • Custom — any firm-branded themes that your firm admin has created and shared.
Click a tile to apply. The change is instant; no reload needed.

​
Personal vs. firm default

Two layers of theme control exist:
  1. Firm default — set by FIRM_ADMIN in Organization → Branding. Every user inherits this until they explicitly choose their own.
  2. Personal override — what you set on this page. Overrides the firm default for your account only, on every device you sign in on.
Click Reset to firm default to remove your override and follow the firm setting again.

How the theme system works under the hood

Every HoLaCe page uses theme tokens (e.g., bg-background, text-foreground, border-border) instead of hardcoded colors. When you switch themes, those tokens resolve to different actual colors — so the entire app stays internally consistent and your switch is genuinely instantaneous. This is why HoLaCe never flashes white during a dark-mode session and why custom themes look polished out of the gate: every component participates in the theme system from day one.
Marketing pages (the public homepage, intake forms shared with clients) use a separate static palette designed for high contrast on first impression. Your dark-mode pick won’t follow you onto a public intake form — that’s by design.
