SureDash v1.3.0 introduces a built-in Color Palette that creates a more comfortable viewing experience for your community members, especially those who prefer a darker interface or browse at night. You can customize the color palette and decide how the mode switcher appears in your portal.

Accessing Color Palette Settings

You can find the Color Palette settings under:
SureDash > Customize Portal > Design Settings > Colors tab > Select Default Palette
