Themes
Choose Dark, Glob Classic or Light, and change the colour of your name.
Glob Social has three themes. Choose the one that makes the canvas, panels and text easiest for you to read. A theme changes the app's appearance; node colours remain choices you make on the canvas.
Choose a theme
Open Settings → General → Appearance, then choose a theme card.
| Theme | Appearance |
|---|---|
| Dark | A dark canvas and light text. |
| Glob Classic | A warmer dark canvas and light text. |
| Light | A pale canvas and dark text. |
The selected card has an outline. Your choice takes effect immediately, so you can compare the three without closing Settings or pressing Save.
On pages with the three small theme circles, you can choose the same themes directly. Each circle is named Dark, Glob Classic or Light when focused or pointed at. These circles change the same preference as the cards in Settings.
How the choice is remembered
Before you choose a theme, Glob Social follows your device's preference: Light when the device asks for a light appearance, Dark otherwise. It continues to follow changes to that preference until you make an explicit choice.
After you choose a theme, changing your device's appearance does not override it. The choice is remembered in that browser and updates other open Glob Social tabs in the same browser. Another browser or device makes its own choice; changing the theme here does not set an account-wide appearance.
If your browser prevents preferences from being saved, a theme choice still works on the current page. It may return to the device's preference when you reload or open another page.
Name colour
Under Settings → General → Name colour, choose Standard or one of the ten named colours: Coral, Amber, Lime, Green, Teal, Cyan, Blue, Violet, Magenta and Pink. This changes the colour of your name in chat and on walls.
The colour's shade adjusts to the theme in which it is shown. A blue name uses a lighter blue against a dark background and a darker blue against Light. Standard uses the theme's ordinary text colour.
The chosen swatch is outlined. Wait for the saved message after changing it. If saving fails, the selection returns to its earlier colour, so choose again when the connection is available.
Language and motion
The interface is in English. There is no language selector in Settings.
For less animation, use your device's reduced-motion preference. Glob Social reads that preference separately from the theme. See Accessibility for the effects it has and Settings for the other preferences.
