🌓Appearance
Switch the Dapta Forms admin between Dark and Light from the toggle in the left menu, and see why the theme you work in never changes what your respondents see.
The admin has one appearance setting: the color scheme you work in. It is personal to you and it never touches a published form.
Dark and Light
Step 1: Look at the bottom of the left menu, just above your name. The single icon button there is the theme toggle. A moon means you are in Dark, and its tooltip reads Theme: Dark: Switch to light.
Step 2: Click it. The whole admin repaints, the icon becomes a sun, and the tooltip now reads Theme: Light: Switch to dark. Click again to go back.
Step 3: Nothing else to save. Your choice is remembered in the browser you made it in and applies to every admin screen, including the form editor, where the left menu collapses to icons but the toggle stays in the same place at the bottom.
💡 Tip: There are exactly two states, Dark and Light. There is no "follow my system" option: Dark is the default and Light is something you opt into.
The theme does not change your forms
Switching the admin to Light does not change what respondents see. A public form takes its colors from that form's Design panel and from your Brand kit, never from the theme you happen to be working in.
A form where you picked a background renders with your colors for everybody, in every browser.
A form where you picked nothing renders dark for everybody, whichever theme you are in.
That is also why the builder canvas and Preview keep showing the published look while you edit in Light: the preview shows the form, not your workspace.
