# Adjusting Screen Contrast and Display Themes on Windows and macOS

> Set your Windows or Mac to dark mode and higher contrast to cut eye strain while working in FieldPulse.

## How to Adjust Screen Contrast and Themes for Eye Sensitivity on Windows and macOS

If you prefer a darker theme to reduce eye strain, both **Windows** and **macOS** offer settings that can help. While **FieldPulse** doesn’t currently have a built-in dark mode, you can adjust your device’s overall display to create a more comfortable experience. Here’s how to set it up on both Windows and Mac:

# For Windows

**1. Enable Dark Mode:**

\- Go to **Settings > Personalization > Colors.**

\- Scroll down and select **Dark** under **Choose your color**. This will change most system apps and the taskbar to dark mode.

**2. Adjust High Contrast Settings:**

\- **Open Settings** > **Ease of Access > High Contrast**.

\- Select a high-contrast theme, like H**igh Contrast Black** or **High Contrast White,** to make text and backgrounds easier to read.

**3. Adjust Brightness and Color Settings:**

\- You can adjust brightness from the **Action Center** or go to **Settings** > **System** > **Display** to enable **Night Ligh** t, which reduces blue light for a warmer display.

**4. Windows Accessibility - Contrast Themes:**

\- Go to **Settings** > **Ease of Access** > **High Contras** t to choose a theme that enhances visibility for those with eye sensitivity.

**Example: FieldPulse when the Contrast theme is set to Aquatic on Windows.**
