Appearance

The Appearance tab sets how ListoWP looks across your site – its color scheme, brand accent, and the date formats shown throughout the app. You will find it in wp-admin under ListoWP.

Colors

The Colors box controls the overall look.

Default color scheme sets the base theme:

Option What it does
Automatic Matches the style of the parent container the app sits in
Light Always uses the light theme
Dark Always uses the dark theme

Accent color is the brand color used for highlights and controls throughout the app.

Turn on Separate accent for dark mode if you want a different accent when the dark theme is active. With it on, a Dark mode accent color appears so you can set that value on its own. Leave it off to use the same accent color in both themes.

Date & Time

The Date & Time box controls how dates read across the app. There are two formats:

  • Short date format – the compact form used in dense places like Task rows.
  • Long date format – the fuller form used where there is more room, such as a Task detail.

Per-user overrides

These settings are the site-wide defaults. Each of your site’s users can still override theme and display mode for their own browser in Preferences. Those choices are remembered per browser and are not synced to their account, so they do not change what other people see.
