Why is it important?
The Design Tool now keeps the dark or light mode you use across the rest of the platform, instead of always opening in light mode. Your workspace stays consistent when you move between proposals and design, which is easier on the eyes and less jarring during long design sessions.
What will you need?
Access to your SubcontractorHub account.
Access to the Design Tool.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Click your “profile icon” to open the profile panel and choose your preferred
theme (dark or light).
Step 2: Open a proposal and launch the “Design Tool”.
Step 3: The Design Tool opens in the same theme as your profile. No extra setting is needed.
Real Life Scenario
A designer works in dark mode all day. Before, every time they opened the Design Tool it switched to a bright light screen. Now the Design Tool opens in dark mode too, so they can move between proposals and designs without the switch.
Pro Tip
Your theme choice applies only to your own account, so each team member can pick the mode that works best for them.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The Design Tool still opens in light mode
Check the theme selected in your profile panel, then refresh the page and open the Design Tool again.
Problem: A teammate sees a different theme
Themes follow each user’s own profile. Ask them to check their profile setting.
