Switching light and dark mode

Omega works in both a light and a dark theme — flip between them with the sun/moon button in the top bar.

Where the toggle is

The theme toggle lives in the top bar, next to the notification bell, and it's there on every page — you never have to dig into settings to change themes.

The icon shows the mode you'd switch to, not the one you're in:

  • Working in dark mode? You'll see a sun — click it for light mode.

  • Working in light mode? You'll see a moon — click it to go dark.

What it changes

One click re-themes the entire platform — Chat, Workflow, Agents, settings, every board and panel. There are no per-page theme settings to manage; the whole app follows one switch.

Charts, signals, and status colors are tuned for both themes, so nothing becomes hard to read when you switch. Content itself is unaffected — your chats, signals, and files are identical in either mode; only the presentation changes.

Your choice sticks

Omega remembers your theme in the browser you set it in. Close the tab, sign out, come back next week — you'll land in the mode you left.

Note: The preference is saved per browser, not to your account. If you use Omega on a laptop and a desktop, or in two different browsers, set the theme once in each.

Which should you use?

Whichever you like — both are first-class. A few practical notes:

  • Light mode tends to project better. If you're screen-sharing with a client or presenting on a conference-room display, light mode usually reads more clearly from a distance.

  • Dark mode is easier on the eyes in dim rooms and long sessions, and many people find charts pop more against a dark background.

  • Screenshots inherit your theme. If you're grabbing images for a client deck or a doc that's on a white page, switch to light mode first so the screenshots match their surroundings.

Tip: The toggle is one click and instant, so it's perfectly reasonable to live in dark mode and hop to light just for a presentation — then hop back.
