Color Scheme¶

Choose between:

Light: Bright background with dark text.
Dark: Dark background with light text, easier on the eyes in low-light environments.
System: Automatically follows your operating system's appearance setting.

Collapse sidebar by default: When enabled, the sidebar starts collapsed to maximize content area. Hover or click the expand button to reveal it.

System Tray¶
