Change the theme

Show Nextal in light, in dark, or let it follow your computer’s or phone’s setting with System. You change the theme from your avatar menu, in the top-right corner of every page, or from the switch in the top-right corner of the login page, even before you sign in.

Where to find it

Your avatar (top-right) → Theme row
Login page → the Light / System / Dark switch (top-right corner of the page)

Who can use it

Everyone — even before signing in

The three choices

• Light — a light background, all the time.
• Dark — a dark background, all the time.
• System — the default. Nextal follows the light or dark setting of your computer or phone. If that setting changes while Nextal is open (for example, an automatic switch to dark mode in the evening), the display follows right away, without reloading the page.

How to change the theme in the app

1. Click your avatar

   It’s in the very top-right corner of the page: your photo, or your initials if you don’t have a photo. A panel opens below your avatar.

2. Pick a theme in the Theme row

   The Theme row has three icon buttons: a sun for Light, a moon for Dark and a screen for System. The highlighted button is your current choice; hover an icon to see its name. Click the one you want.

3. The display changes immediately

   No need to reload the page: the interface switches to the new theme right away, and your choice is remembered. The panel stays open; click outside it or press Esc to close it.

How to change the theme from the login page

1. Find the switch in the top-right corner of the page

   On the login page, a small three-button switch sits in the top-right corner of the page, outside the sign-in form: Light, System and Dark. The highlighted button is your current choice. The same switch appears on the password recovery page and on the lock screen.

2. Click the theme you want

   The page changes right away. On a phone, only the sun, screen and moon icons are shown; tap the one you want.

3. Sign in

   The theme you picked carries over once you’re signed in: the app opens with it straight away.

Note

Your choice is remembered in this browser, not on your profile. It applies to every Nextal app opened in this browser — ATS, HRIS, Administration and CRM — and to their login pages: pick Dark in one and the others open dark too. On another browser or another computer, Nextal starts on System until you make a choice there as well.

Tips

• Clearing cookies resets the theme to System. If you clear the cache and also clear your browser’s cookies, Nextal goes back to System. Just pick your theme again.
• One shared computer, one theme. Because the choice belongs to the browser, everyone who uses the same browser on the same computer shares the same theme.
• System is often the most convenient. If your computer switches to dark mode automatically in the evening, Nextal follows without you having to think about it.
