Appearance Settings

Learn about the Global Appearance Settings for Forms in Maica

Maica Forms lets you customise the look of the application interface itself — independently of the per-form styling options.

Access appearance settings via your Avatar Menu → Appearance, or navigate to forms.maica.com.au/settings/appearance.

Color Mode

Choose how the app renders its colour scheme:

Mode
Behaviour

Light

White backgrounds, dark text — the classic look

Dark

Dark backgrounds, lighter text — easier on the eyes in low light

System

Automatically follows your operating system or browser preference

The selected mode applies immediately and persists across sessions.

Color Theme

Six colour themes are available. The selected theme sets the primary accent colour used throughout the app — buttons, active states, focus rings, and navigation highlights.

Theme
Primary colour

Slate blue (default)

#2B4F7E — professional blue

Crimson

#8C2E3E — bold red

Violet

#553580 — deep purple

Teal

#196061 — calm green-blue

Golden

#83691A — warm amber

Forest

#2B6B44 — rich green

A preview of your selected combination (mode + theme) is shown before you save.

Saving Your Preferences

Click Save to apply your chosen theme and mode. The page updates immediately.

Appearance preferences are stored per user — each team member can choose their own.

Note on Per-Form Appearance

circle-info

These app-level appearance settings affect the Maica Forms interface (your builder, dashboard, and admin views). They do not affect the look of your published public forms.

To style the forms that respondents see, use the per-form appearance settings in the form builder.
