Dark mode

The Parcel portal supports dark mode for comfortable viewing in low-light environments.

Enabling dark mode

1. Look for the theme toggle in the portal (usually in the sidebar footer or account settings) 2. Click to switch between light mode and dark mode 3. Your preference is saved automatically

How it works

Dark mode inverts the color scheme:

  • Light backgrounds become dark
  • Dark text becomes light
  • Brand colors (Parcel blue) remain consistent
  • Charts and images adapt for readability

System preference

If you set your operating system to dark mode, the portal may automatically match your system preference. You can override this with the manual toggle.

Known limitations

  • Some document previews may still show a light background
  • External content (like BoldSign signing pages) follows their own theme
  • Email notifications always use a light theme

Accessibility

Dark mode reduces eye strain in low-light conditions and can help with:

  • Reduced screen glare at night
  • Lower battery consumption on OLED screens
  • Better readability for some users with visual sensitivities
