## Tips

**DO**
- Turn Dark Mode on for dim interiors, basements and early or late visits.
- Switch back to the light theme in bright sun if the screen is hard to read.
- Raise your screen brightness too: the theme and the brightness work together.

**WATCH FOR**
- Enable Draft Mode sits right above Dark Mode. Check that you tap the Dark Mode switch.
- Glare. In direct sun, a dark screen shows more reflections than a light one.

## Troubleshooting

**Q: Which theme reads best in bright sun?**
A: Usually the light theme: dark text on a light screen holds up better in glare. Dark Mode is easiest on the eyes in dim light, like an interior without power or an early start. Switching takes one tap, so use whichever reads best where you are standing.

**Q: How do I go back to the light theme?**
A: Open Settings, scroll to Personalization and tap the Dark Mode switch again. It turns grey and the app goes back to light screens.

**Q: Dark Mode doesn't change anything.**
A: Check that the Dark Mode switch is green. If it is and the app still looks light, close and reopen the app, update it from the App Store or Google Play, then contact RAZE support at contact@getaraze.com.
