Appearance and font size

DataMind Oda can use a light or a dark look, or follow your computer, and you can set the size of the text in your conversations. In the web app both settings sit in Settings > General; in the desktop app, the font size is there and the look comes from your DataMind account (DataMind appearance).

Choose how Oda looks

1. Open Settings > General and find the Appearance row.
2. Pick a card. Each card previews its look:
   • Light: a light look (White islands on mist).
   • Dark: a dark look (Midnight canvas).
   • System: follows your computer (Follows your computer).
3. Oda switches to your choice and keeps it on this computer.

• Light and Dark keep Oda in a light or a dark look, even when your computer switches the other way.
• System follows your computer: it uses your computer's light or dark setting and switches when your computer switches.

Set the conversation font size

1. In Settings > General, find the Font size row.
2. Step the size with Decrease font size and Increase font size; each step is 1 px, and the current size shows beside the buttons.
3. The size runs from 12 to 17 px: the decrease button is disabled at 12, and the increase button is disabled at 17.

The row says what it changes: Only affects conversation content. Text, headings and tables in your conversations follow the size; small text and code stay fixed, and the rest of the app keeps its usual sizes.

Where your choices are remembered

• On the computer running DataMind Oda. Both choices are saved there and survive a restart. Oda paints its first screen in your chosen look as it opens, so you do not see a flash of the wrong colours.
• From another computer. Opening the web app from another computer does not read or save your choices; changes you make there last for that session only.
• In the desktop app. The Font size row is in General as usual, and the mode and colour themes follow your DataMind account: DataMind appearance.

Questions, answered

Where do I change how Oda looks?

In the web app, open Settings > General: the Appearance row holds the mode cards, and the Font size row sits in the same section. In the desktop app, the look is managed by your DataMind account on DataMind appearance.

What does System mean?

It follows your computer's light or dark setting and switches when your computer switches. With Light or Dark, Oda stays as you set it, even when your computer switches the other way.

What does Oda use before I change anything?

It follows your computer (the System card) and shows conversation text at 14 px.

What can I set the font size to?

Between 12 and 17 px, one step at a time. The decrease button is disabled at 12, and the increase button is disabled at 17.

Does the font size change all of Oda?

No. It applies to conversation content only: text, headings and tables in your conversations follow it, while small text and code stay fixed and the rest of the app keeps its usual sizes.

Is my choice remembered when I restart Oda?

Yes, on the computer running DataMind Oda. Your look and font size are saved and come back when Oda opens; Oda also paints its first screen in your chosen look, so you do not see a flash of the wrong colours.

Do the settings work in a browser on another computer?

Only for that session. Opening the web app from another computer does not read or save your choices; changes you make there are not kept.

Does Oda follow my computer's reduce-motion setting?

Yes. When your computer asks for reduced motion, the animations in Oda stop.

Does Oda download fonts from the internet?

No. Oda's text and code fonts come with the app; nothing is fetched from the network, so they also work offline.
