Light, dark, or system: choose how SmartClass looks
SmartClass offers Light, Dark, and System appearance modes so you can choose a comfortable view or let SmartClass follow your computer automatically.
SmartClass can now match the way you prefer to work. You can keep the familiar bright interface, use a darker appearance, or let SmartClass follow your computer's appearance setting automatically.
Your choice changes the presentation of SmartClass without changing your account, permissions, school information, or work.
Three appearance modes
Light
Light mode uses bright surfaces and dark text. It is the familiar SmartClass appearance and remains the default when no other preference has been saved in the browser.
Dark
Dark mode uses darker surfaces with lighter text. It can feel more comfortable in dim surroundings or whenever you prefer a less bright screen. Menus, tables, panels, dashboards, forms, and supported rich-text editors adapt together so the interface remains consistent.
System
System mode follows the appearance setting of your computer. If your computer changes between light and dark appearance, SmartClass changes with it. This is useful when your device already switches automatically at a particular time of day.
How to change the appearance
- Open Settings from the SmartClass navigation.
- Find Appearance.
- Choose Light, Dark, or System.
- Select Save.
A confirmation appears when the preference has been saved.
Which mode should I choose?
- Choose Light if you prefer a consistently bright interface.
- Choose Dark if you prefer darker surfaces at all times.
- Choose System if you want SmartClass to follow your computer and change automatically.
There is no right or wrong choice. You can change the mode again whenever another appearance feels more comfortable.
What changes—and what stays the same?
The selected mode changes interface colors and surfaces. It does not change the information you can see, the actions available to you, or the meaning of statuses and messages. Important success, warning, and error information continues to include text rather than relying on color alone.
Uploaded images, documents, and content with its own colors keep their original appearance. This prevents SmartClass from changing material created by your school or another author.
Your preference stays in this browser
SmartClass remembers the selection in the browser you are currently using. If you open SmartClass in another browser or on another device, you may need to choose the appearance again there.
If you previously selected the older Natural option, SmartClass now treats it as System, so it follows your computer's appearance setting.
A more comfortable way to work
Appearance is a personal choice. Try each mode with the pages you use most and keep the one that makes text, tables, and everyday tasks easiest for you to follow. The setting can be changed at any time and does not affect anyone else's SmartClass view.
